Talk:William de Warenne (1055-1088)

His date-of-birth looks spurious to me (and it isn't even marked as circa). If he fought in 1066, I would expect that he was more then 11 years old at the time. says of him:
 * As a young man, William played a prominent role in protecting the Norman realm of the future William the Conqueror's from a major invasion by the King of France in February 1054 at the Battle of Mortemer.

which would push his birthdate back by another 15-20 years. This would then make his father's year-of-birth seem unlikely. Of his father, says:
 * He is known only from his subscriptions to two charters

so he should have at most a fl date. What are the dates of these charters (if known)?

I think William should have a birthdate of "?", and his father dates of "?-?"
