From Rosie Bevan, 26 May 2004 post to Gen-Medieval list:

Muriel, [daughter of Peter de Valoines]

married first possibly Theodoric, brother of Walter the Deacon [DP 427].

• Theodoric appears as a tenant of Peter de Valoines at Domesday in Saxlingham, Norfolk and may be the same as Theoderic Pointel in Witham, Essex as appears in the Domesday Book. (Grimbald who attested the Binham charter of Peter de Valoines [Monasticon Anglicanum, v. 3, p.345] was possibly the same who was tenant of Theoderic Pointel in Domesday Essex [DD 1080]).
• By her first husband, Muriel had a son William de Bacton, (also identifiable as 'William filio Theodoric', signatory to the Binham charter), who sold his inheritance of 13 knights' fees given by and held of Everard, bishop of Norwich to his uncle Roger de Valoines. This was later (1156-62) confirmed to Robert, son of Roger de Valoines by a royal charter by Henry II, witnessed by Philip de Valoines, Henry de Essex, the elder, and Henry de Essex, the younger at Rouen [Barbara Dodwell (ed), 'The Charters of Norwich Cathedral Priory', (Pipe Roll Society, 1974), part 1, no. 79].
• Muriel married secondly Hubert de Munchensy (Monte Caniso) as his second wife [DP 257], a benefactor of Eye, Thetford and Colne priories, by whom she had Roger, Geoffrey and Hugh [CP IX p.412 notes (b) and (c].
• Widowed before 1120, Muriel later became a nun at Thetford priory of which she had been a benefactor by granting land in Rushworth, part of her marriage portion, when her son Hugh was made a monk there. The grant was confirmed by William de Bacheton, Roger de Monchensey, her brother Roger de Valoines and by his son Piers [Farrer HKF 3* 393]. www.celtic-casimir.com
