Research Notes:
Baron of Hunsingore [Ref: Sanders Baronies p56]
Baron of Warter [Ref: Sanders Baronies p150]

favorite of Henry I [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

acquired the honour of Warter in Yorkshire early in reign of Henry I [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

1115-8: held the lands of Erneis de Burum, Domesday lord of the lands which formed the barony of Hunsingore [Ref: Sanders Baronies p56]

Warter was held by the crown when Domesday Book was compiled, but by the start of the twelfth century the lands had passed to Geoffrey fitz Payn [Ref: Sanders Baronies p150]

1131: attested a confirmation of Henry I for Saint-Georges de Boscherville [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

his links with Saint-Georges and its hinterland are strong enough to permit his identification with the Geoffrey fitz Payn whose grant of tithes at Montigny, Seine-Maritime, was confirmed in the charter of 1131 [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

the immediate descent of his land at his dead is unclear, but Warter eventually passed to the Trussebut family [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

on his death the lands fell under the control of the Earl of Chester, but when the Earl died in 1153 the estate passed to William Trussebut [Ref: Sanders Baronies p56]

his holding of the fee of Erneis de Burun at Torrington passed to the Gerponville family [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p934]

on his death the lands of the Barony of Warter passed under the control of William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln; after William's death the estate seems to have come, for a short time, to William Trussebut [Ref: Sanders Baronies p150]
