Research notes
ROGER BIGOD, 2nd Earl of NORFOLK (c.1144-1221), Magna Carta surety; son of Hugh 1st Earl by Juliana de Vere; m. IDA DE TOSNY (formerly mistress of Henry II); father of Hugh 3rd Earl (our line). Standard well-documented medieval genealogy per the cited authorities; contested rungs note-only, not hardened. ||CP NORFOLK READ 6 Aug 2026 (pp.38-39)|| CP 1st edn notes the wife-confusion here ('m. Ida before 1190... said to have m. Isabella, da. of Hameline Earl of Warren, possibly the same as Ida') - the modern-standard IDA DE TOSNY stands; CP p.39 confirms Hugh 3rd Earl m. 'about 1212, Maud, 1st da. of William (MARSHAL)' as wired.
