Gundred de Warenne was the wife of William de Lancaster. Although there have
been some questions about whether she was the mother of William's daughter,
Avice, it appears that she was in fact Avice's mother. This is highly
probable as Avice's descendant, Alan Fitz Roland, lord of Galloway, needed a
dispensation to remain married to his second wife, Margaret of Huntingdon.
The dispensation was needed as Alan and Margaret were too closely related to
each other. Although their kinship is not stated in the papal registers, it
appears that Alan and Margaret were related through their common descent from
Isabel de Vermandois and her husband, William de Warenne. Alan's descent
would come through Gundred de Warenne, wife of William de Lancaster. Without
Gundred de Warenne in Alan's ancestry, he would possess no kinship to his wife,
Margaret.
