Notes
- He is supposed to have been a member of the family of Gherardini ofFlorence, Italy; and this is seemingly confirmed by the Latin form ofthe name "Geraldini," assumed by the decendants; in any event he was anobleman and came from Florence. This noble passed over into Normandyand thence into England, in 1057, where he became so great a favoriteof King Edward, the Confessor, that he excited the jealosy of theSaxon thanes. His English possessions were enormous and at hisdeath they devolved upon his son, Walter Fitz Ortho.
