woman Gunnor Unknown‏‎ 1)
Died ‎after 1082 1)

Notes: Gunnor's identity is confirmed by a charter, dated 1082, where grants to the Abbey of Holy Trinity, in Caen, were confirmed on behalf of Queen Matilda (wife of William the Conqueror):

"Gunnor, the mother of William de Briouze and a nun of the abbey, gave what she held at Bavent, with the agreement of Hugh pincerna and Roger de Quilly; she also gave the lands she held at Rouvres, Cesny-aux-Vignes, Croissanville and Quatre-Puits, with the agreement of Maurice and his wife Albereda, of whose fief they were held." Other charters suggest connections between the de Braose and de Ivrea families.
