Ivo Taillebois

[1] He sold land at Villers to the Abbey of Saint-Étienne, Caen and donated a church of Christot in Calvados.

[1] In 1071 King William, with Taillebois leading his army, besieged the Isle of Ely where the rebel leader Hereward the Wake was based.

[2] William Rufus further endowed him with the lands of Ribblesdale and Lonsdale in Cumbria on the border with Scotland, possibly for his service as a royal steward.

[9] According to annalist Peter of Blois, Ivo's "only daughter, who had been nobly espoused, died before her father; for that evil shoots should not fix deep roots in the world, the accursed lineage of that wicked man perished by the axe of the Almighty, which cut off all his issue."

Ivo's widow Lucy married Roger FitzGerold, Baron of Kendal, by whom she was the mother of William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln.
