The problem we now face is one (of a number) that faced Dugdale, Nichols and others in trying to reconstruct the genealogy of this family. It is whether Gerard son of Richard (d.1176) is to be identified with Gerard (d.1214) husband of Nichola de la Haye and father of Richard (d.in or before 1226) husband of Eustache Basset. The most modern VCH articles to do with the Camvilles go for the identification. This suggests that Gerard married Nichola (relatively) late in life. (I estimate that if Gerard was 12 when he attested in 1149/50 - and he was probably older - then he would have been 40/47 or older when he married Nichola.) His marriage to Nichola (d.1230) took place after her first husband's death in 1178 and before 1185 (Sanders *English Baronies* p.109). The only real ground for "splitting" Gerard is chronological in that it appears to have him marrying and breeding far too late for a medieval heir. (He probably did marry earlier and may have bred (of whom no males survived).) The significance of Gerard and Nichola's marriage lies not in its lateness in life (for Gerard at least) but in his gaining additional valuable lands and an heir.
