Page 9 of De Lacy Bellengari's "The Roll of the House of Lacy" states
"Robert's wife was Matilda Countess de Perche."
De Lacy researchers will know that this 1928 work has had a lot of its
assumptions overturned by later research, but I have never seen this
particular statement challenged in a subsequent work.
