[4] Raoul married Isabel de Conches, daughter of Simon, but is unclear if this was done before, during or after his exile.
[5] Tradition says he gave up the role of standard bearer, his hereditary office, to Walter Giffard, in order to be able to fight closer to William, duke of Normandy.
His western lands were concentrated in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, while his eastern possessions were mainly in Norfolk.
Some of it came directly after the conquest, but other parts probably came after the death of William FitzOsbern in 1071 and the forfeiture of Roger, earl of Hereford in 1075.
[3] After William the Conqueror's death in 1087, Raoul expelled the ducal garrisons from his castles, and fought for Robert Curthose in 1088.
