Research Notes:
The story of William FITZGODRIC, cousin to Edward the Confessor, and his son William FtizWilliam, Ambassador at the Court of William Duke of Normandy, and Marshal of the Norman army at Hastings, is obviously mythical, as is the story of the Conqueror's scarf, even if the scarf is to be seen today. William FITZGODRIC is, however, a real person, but he flourished a century and more after the Conquest. [Ref: CP V p518note]

chosen in blood to King Edward the Counselor, and came out of Normandy with him as it may appear by his records in Fitz William Ideals and power [Ref: Holloway WENTWORTH p12]

cos. to Edward the Confessor, went with him to Normandy [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 FITZWILLIAM]

A clumsy and impossible invention of Elizabethian times makes William FitzGodric a cousin to Edward the Confessor, sends his son, William FitzWilliam to Normandy on an embassy to Duke William, and brings him back to fight against his kith and kin at Hastings, the Marshall of the Cnqueror's army, and the pitifullest kind of traitor. For his gallant conduct in slaying his cuntrymen, the Conqueror is said to have given him a scarf from his own arm which is still preserved at Milton, where it is used at all family christenings, with great pomp and ceremony. The most casual comparison of dates is sufficient to disprove the story, while the fact that in the numerous FitzWilliam wills of the 15th and 16th centuries no reference is made to what would have been, if it existed, a most precious heirloom. The last of the main line, William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough, died in 1517 without issue, leaving as his coheiresses his aunt, Dorothy, then aged 30, wife of William Copley, esq., and his cousin, Elizabeth, then aged 15, wife of Henry Sayll, esq, daughter of another aunt, Margery, decd, late wife of Thomas Soothill. Had this William owned the scarf, which he would have done as head of his house, it would have passed to either the Savilles or the Copleys. The Milton FitzWilliams were at that time junior to several existing branches, and did not become heirs male of the family for more than a century. [Ref: BaildonWP BAILDON v1p343]

Knight, Lord of Elmsley, Sprotbrough [Ref: Foster Yorkshire v1pt1 FITZWILLIAM, Holloway WENTWORTH p12]

occurs in the Pipe Rolls from 1169-70 and 1179-80 [Ref: CP V p518note]

1169-70: recorded as a Crown debtor, rendering an account of blank, no amount of detail being given. same in the rolls for 1170-1, 1171-2, and 1172-3; there is nothing in 1173-4, and then in 1174-5 we find the sum of 100# mentioned, but still with no indication of what for. This debt must go back to 1169-70, and provide the latest date for the marriage to the wealthy widow. [Ref: BaildonWP BAILDON v1p345]

1175-76 he accounted for 100# for having the mother of Jhn the Constable, with her land; he paid 66#13s4d and owed 33#6s8d. In 1176-7 he paid 10 marks and was allowed 30 marks, which left a balance of 10 marks, which he paid in 1177-78. [Ref: BaildonWP BAILDON v1p345]
