Notes:
About Gerald FitzWalter Constable of Pembroke Gerald de Windsor (c. 1075–1135), alias Gerald FitzWalter, was the first castellan of Pembroke Castle in Pembrokeshire (formerly part of the Kingdom of Deheubarth), in Wales, and was in charge of the Norman forces in southwest Wales. He was the ancestor of the FitzGerald , FitzMaurice and De Barry dynasties of Ireland, who were elevated to the Peerage of Ireland in the 14th century and was also the ancestor of the prominent Carew family, of Moulsford in Berkshire, Carew Castle in Pembrokeshire (in the Kingdom of Deheubarth) and of Mohuns Ottery in Devon (see Baron Carew, Earl of Totnes and Carew baronets). - See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_de_Windsor Wikipedia (current version): Gerald de Windsor (c. 1075 - 1135), or Gerald FitzWalter of Windsor, was the first castellan of Pembroke Castle in Dyfed in the late 11th and early 12th centuries, and the Norman chieftain in charge of the Norman forces in southwest Wales. He was the progenitor and eponymous ancestor of the FitzGerald and de Barry dynasties of Ireland, who were elevated to the ranks of peers of Ireland in the 14th century. Geralds wife Nest ferch Rhys was a Welsh princess, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last King of Deheubarth. Nest is the female progenitor of the Fitzgerald Dynasty, and through her the Fitzgeralds are related to Welsh royalty and to the Tudors (Tewdwrs). The Tudors are descended from Nests father Rhys ap Tewdwr (Anglicized to "Tudor"). Henry Tudor, King of England, was a matrilineal descendant of Rhys ap Tewdwr. Consequently, Gerald and Nests offspring, the Fitzgeralds, are distant cousins to the English Tudors. 

Notes: Family Gerald was most likely born at Windsor, then a strategically placed motte-and-bailey fortress on the Thames, hence his sobriquet "de Windsor". He was a younger son of Walter FitzOtho by his wife, Beatrice. Walter fitz Otho was a Norman in the following of William the Conqueror, the first castellan of the strategic fortress of Windsor and Keeper of its Forest, entrusted to him upon its completion by the Conqueror. Gerald had at least three older brothers, William, Robert, and Maurice, and possibly several sisters as well. Several genealogies give Geralds ancestors as the "Gherardinis" of Italy and claim for him descent from a spurious 9th century "Duke Cosimo of Tuscany", all accounts of which are based upon the efforts of a 17th-century FitzGerald earl of Kildare anxious to aggrandise his family name and, possibly, elide any Anglo-Norman connexions. Several facts preclude this spurious genealogy: there was no Duchy of Tuscany in the 9th century; the duchy did not exist before the latter half of the 16th century; the only two Dukes of Tuscany named Cosimo lived in the 16th and 17th centuries, and both were Medicis. Some modern online genealogies give Geralds mother as either Gwladys ferch Ryall of Gwynedd or Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn of Powys; again this is precluded by facts: Domesday listings pertaining to the properties of Walter FitzOther list his wife as Beatrice.[1] "Gwladys ferch Ryall of Gwynedd" appears nowhere in Welsh geneaologies. Gwladys ferch Rhiwallon ap Cynfyn of Powys was, in fact, the wife of Rhys ap Tewdwr, the last King of Deheubarth, and Geralds royal mother-in-law.
