From Wikipedia:
     Gerard Flaitel († c.?1047) was a Norman knight and a ' most powerful lord in Normandy at the time of the Richards' according to Orderic Vitalis.
Life
     Gerard was a Norman baron with substantial estates in the Pays de Caux, the Hiemois, the Evrecin and Risle valley.[1] He was a vassal of William of Talou in Arques.[2]
     In 1035, when Robert I, Duke of Normandy left on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, Gerard Flaitel was one of his companions.[3] In the spring of 1035 the group left Normandy probably taking the favored route through the Danube river basin to Constantinople.[4] Duke Robert obtained permission for him and his retinue to continue on to Muslim-controlled Jerusalem.[4] In Turkey Robert paid the required mussella (pilgrim tax).[3] They arrived in time to spend Holy Week in Jerusalem.[3] On their return through Asia Minor, Duke Robert fell ill while they were in Nicaea, and died there about 2 July. As he lay dying Gerard was asked to take possession of a Holy relic Robert acquired in Jerusalem, reputedly a finger-bone of Saint Stephen, and to make a gift of it to the abbey or monastery of his choosing.[3] Gerard returned to Normandy and became a monk at the Abbey of St. Wandrille taking the relic with him.[3] He died after 1047.[5]

Family
     While the name of his wife (or wives) is not known Gerard Flaitel had the following children:
          William Flaitel, Bishop of Évreux († 1066).[6]
          Ermengarde, wife of Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville.[6]
          Basilla, wife of Ralph de Gacé, son of Robert, Archbishop of Rouen and secondly of Hugh de Gournay.[7]

     Ralph de Gacé († 1051) (a.k.a. Raoul de Gacé) Seigneur de Gacé and other estates in Normandy, was a member of the House of Normandy at an unknown age who played a significant role during the minority of William the Conqueror.
Life
     Ralph[b] was the middle son of Robert, Archbishop of Rouen and his wife Herlevea[1] and as such a member of the royal house of Normandy.[2] While his older brother Richard received the countship of Évreux, Ralph was given the seigneury of Gacé in Lower Normandy.[3] He also held Bavent, Noyon-sur-Andelle (now Charleval), Gravençon (near Lillebonne), and Écouché.[4] After the death of Robert I Duke of Normandy in Nicaea, Archbishop Robert assumed the regency of Normandy for the duke’s young illegitimate son William.[5] The archbishop was able to keep order in Normandy but at his death in 1037, rebellions and private wars erupted.[6]
     One of the rebellious lords was Ralph de Gacé.[7] In 1040, assassins acting under the orders of Ralph de Gacé murdered the chief tutor of young duke William, Gilbert, Count of Brionne, while he was riding near Eschafour.[7] In 1043, Duke William and his advisors William Count of Talou and Archbishop Mauger decided to convince Ralph de Gacé to support the duke.[8] Ralph, now in command of the duke’s army next campaigned against Thurstan le Goz who along with the king of France had occupied Falaise.[8] Ralph captured Falaise, forced Thurstin into exile, and King Henry I of France to withdraw from Normandy.[8] While Ralph remained a key member of Duke William’s inner circle,[9] Ralph was known to have made large donations to the abbey of Jumieges.[10] Ralph died in 1051.[2]
Family
     Ralph married Basilla, daughter of Gerard Flaitel. They had a son:
          Robert de Gacé, who died without heirs.[11]
     After Ralph’s death, Basilla married a second time to Hugh de Gournay.[10]
Notes
     a. Ralph de Gacé was a first cousin of Robert I, Duke of Normandy making him the cousin once removed of William the Conqueror. See: Europäische Stammtafeln, Band II (1984), Tafel 79.
     .. Ralph was jokingly called Tète d'Ane or 'Ass-head' due to his large head and shaggy hair. See: William M. Aird, Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy: C. 1050-1134 (Woodbridge: The Boydell Press, 2008), p. 128 n. 130.

William Giffard (d. 23 January 1129,[1] was the Lord Chancellor of England of William II and Henry I, from 1093 to 1101,[2] and Bishop of Winchester (1100–1129).
     Giffard was the son of Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville and Ermengarde, daughter of Gerard Flaitel.[3] He also held the office of Dean of Rouen prior to his election as bishop.[4] On 3 August 1100 he became bishop of Winchester[5] by nomination of Henry I. Henry nominated him probably in an attempt to win the support of the clergy in Henry's bid to claim the throne directly after the death of William Rufus.[6] He was one of the bishops elect whom Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury refused to consecrate in 1101 as having been nominated and invested by the lay power.
     During the investitures dispute Giffard was on friendly terms with Anselm, and drew upon himself a sentence of banishment through declining to accept consecration from Gerard Archbishop of York in 1103. He was, however, one of the bishops who pressed Anselm, in 1106, to give way to the king. He was finally consecrated after the settlement of 1107 on 11 August[5] and became a close friend of Archbishop Anselm.[citation needed] As bishop, William aided the first Cistercians to settle in England, when in 1128 he brought monks from L'Aumône Abbey in France to settle at Waverley Abbey.[7] He also restored Winchester Cathedral with great magnificence.
     Among Giffard's actions as bishop was the refounding of a religious house at Taunton and the staffing of it with Austin canons. The canons were drawn from Merton Priory.[8] He was known for the close and good relations that he had with the monks of his cathedral chapter, sharing their meals and sleeping with them instead of in his own room.[9]
     Giffard died shortly before 25 January 1129, the date he was buried.[10]
