Research Notes:
1085: Lord of Middleham [Ref: Watney WALLOP #402]

1086: held considerable estates of Count Alan, principally in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire [Ref: Keats-Rohan DP p358]

called a brother of count Alan (Rufus) in charter of Alan for the soul of his father count Eudo and others [EYC 4:no.1]. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

Before the Domesday Survey Alan Rufus granted to Ribald lands in Yorkshire, Norfolk, and possibly elsewhere [EYC 5:297-8]; the caput was Middleham, Richmondshire, Yorkshire. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

About 1121: Ribald made a gift to St. Mary's, York, for the souls of his brother count Alan and his own wife Beatrice (who may have died before 1112), with the consent of his son and heir Ralph Taillebois [EYC 5:no. 358]. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

Ralph fitz Ribald had succeeded by 1130 ["Pipe Roll 31 Henry I", 1929, p.27]. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

A 15th c. account states Ribald was a monk at St. Mary's before he died [T.D. Whitaker, "Richmondshire", 1823, 1:331]. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

called son-in-law in a charter of Ivo Taillebois [Monasticon Anglicanum, new ed., 3:553] [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

gave the church of Upton, Lincs., to Spalding priory, Lincs., for the souls of king William, count Alan, Ivo (probably Taillebois) and himself [R.E.G. Kirk, Genealogist, n.s., 5:67 (1888)]. Spalding was founded by Ivo's wife Lucy (with Ivo's active cooperation); hence this gift suggests Beatrice might have been a daughter of Lucy. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]

Ribald didn't use any surname. His son Ralph occasionally used Taillebois, but none of Ralph's descendants used it. Eventually the family settled on the surname Fitz Randolph. [Ref: Raymond Phair SGM 8/9/1998]
