Here is an interesting person named Osmund, described as "Seneschal of
Richard le Goz", and a "man of Richard de Creully".
Richard de Creully founded the priory of Saint Garbriel at Brecy.
There has been a lot of discussions on whether Richard le Goz was the
same person as Richard de Creully.I can understand why. Both families
hold land at many of the same places and interact many times.
Osmund sold land to Feecamp, which it used to contribute lands for the foundation of Saint Gabriel de Brecy.
However, after much research and seeing that Richard de Creully
witnesses charters as early as 1025, he does not appear to Richard le Goz.
I have tentatively identified Osmund as the otherwise unknown Osmund, Sub-Dispenser Regis of Great Rollright, under Robert fitz Turstin who in Normandy was known as "Robert de Etterville, the Medica". Robert fitz
Turstin held land at Etterville of William fitz Robert le Goiz (Goz).
Osmund held at Ludwell (Ledwell) for his service at Great Rollright. He
likely knew William de Semilly who held at Glympton at the time of the
Domesday Survey. His son Geoffrey de Clinton also held land in Ledwell
4.1 miles from Glympton church. In Rounds work he details this family at
great Rollright.
