Debunks this story:
"Two of Adam de Aldithley's grandsons were said to have married Saxon heiresses. His elder son, Lydulph, had a son, Adam, to whom a Saxon thane gave his only daughter and heir, Mabella, in marriage, and it was thus that he acquired in his wife's right, the Manors of Stanleigh and Balterley in Staffordshire.

Debunks this story:
"Two of Adam de Aldithley's grandsons were said to have married Saxon heiresses.... The younger son of Adam de Aldithley, named Adam, had a son, William, to whom another Saxon thane gave his only daughter, Joan [Stanley], and with her as a marriage portion, the Manor of Talk on the Hill in Staffordshire. Later, Adam, the son of Lydulph, exchanged his Manor of Stanleigh and half the Manor of Balterley, with his cousin, William (the son of his uncle, Adam), for the Manor of Talk on the Hill. William, then being possessed of the Manor of Stanleigh, adopted the surname 'de Stanleigh', and became the ancestor of the Stanleys, while his cousin, Adam de Aldithley, was the ancestor of the Audleys of Heleigh in Staffordshire.
"In fact, however, Lydulph (or Liulf), styled 'de Aldithley', was born circa 1115 - some years after the Conquest. His younger brother Adam was born circa 1125. The Manor of Aldithley (Audley) is not situated in Normandy, but is near Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire (as are the Manors of Balterley and Talk on the Hill). These three Manors did not come into the possession of the Audleys until early in the 12th century when they were held by socage, i.e. military service, from the De Verdun family. There is no evidence to support the story that these Manors were acquired through marriage to Saxon heiresses, and the Manor of Stanleigh did not come into the possession of the Audleys until late in the 12th century when it was the gift of their Overlord, Bertram de Verdun, before he left England for the Crusades in 1190."

Research Notes: Husband - Warin Domfront de Alençon Lord de Nogent
From http://cybergata.com/roots/1829.htm :
-Turton's "Plantaganet Ancestry", shows Warin and Melisinde as parents of GEOFFREY II, VC DE CHATEAUDUN.
-Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners (249:31), calls him Warin de Belleme (de Domfront), Seigneur de Domfront and son of WILLIAM & MATILDA. Stuart, however shows different parents for GEOFFREY.
-Turton's "Plantaganet Ancestry", has two individuals 0n p.179 - Warine d'Alcenon and Guerin de Domfort, which are apparently, in fact, the same. Stuart is infering that Turton is in error in making him the father of GEOFFREY II [ called GEOFFREY I by Turton], VC DE CATEAUDUN. Both Stuart and Turton agree that he was father of Adeline.

Research Notes: Husband - Gudrød "the Hunter" Halfdansson King of Vestfold [Semi-legendary]
From Wikipedia - Gudrød the Hunter :
Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse : Guðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge) was a semi-legendary king in south-east Norway , during the early Viking Age . He is mentioned in the skaldic poem Ynglingatal . Snorri Sturluson elaborates on Gudrød's story in Heimskringla , written c. 1230; however, this is not considered to be a historical account by modern historians. The following account is taken from Heimskringla.
Gudrød was the son of Halfdan the Mild of the House of Yngling and Liv Dagsdotter of Vestmar . He married Alfhild, a daughter of Alfarin the king of Alfheim (Bohuslän ), which was the name of the area between Glomma and Göta älv , and inherited half the province of Vingulmark . They had a son, Olaf Gudrødsson .
When Alfhild died, Gudrød sent his warriors to Agder and its king, Harald, to propose a marriage with his daughter Åsa . However, Harald Granraude declined, so Gudrød decided to take his daughter by force.
They arrived at night. When Harald realised that he was being attacked, he assembled his men and fought well, but died together with his son Gyrd. Gudrød carried away Åsa and married her. He raped her and she gave him a son named Halfdan who would be called Halfdan the Black .
In the fall, when Halfdan was a year old, Gudrød was having at a feast in Stiflesund . He was very drunk and in the evening, as he was walking on the gangway to leave the ship, an assassin thrust a spear through Gudrød, killing him. Gudrød's men instantly killed the assassin, who turned out to be Åsa's page-boy. Åsa admitted that the page-boy had acted on her behalf.
