By most accounts, Eldred was either the son or son-in-law (most likely) of Ivo de Taillebois, Baron of Kendal. If his son, it would have been by his first wife, Gondreda (Countess of Wessex), rather than Ivos second wife Lucy (daughter of Thorold of Lincoln), another powerful and well-connected Anglo-Norman woman. Eldred and Beatrix are a couple who inherited the barony of Kendal. Whether Beatrix was the heiress--and thus Ivos daughter, making Eldred in fact Ivos son-in-law, is a matter of uncertainty. Beatrix was first married to Ribald of Middleham. The research at the current time makes a stronger case that Beatrix was in fact Ivos and Gondredas daughter, and so that is the way I am structuring it on Geni. Eldred (Aelftred) was a powerful Anglo-Saxon lord in Norman England, and this power was a legacy to his son Ketel, who was probably the son of Eldred and an Anglo-Saxon mother, Aeldgytha. | | |
