        Note:
        The son of this marriage [William & Aubrey], William FitzWilliam (the alleged Marshal of Hastings [which he was not]) was probably just of age in 1194, when, by a fine dated 21 Apr, Roger the Constable, Aubrey's grandson by her first husband,
        released to her and her son William (FitzWilliam) all the lands which had belonged to Robert de Lisours her father. The subsequent pedigree can be sketched very briefly. Aubrey's son William FitzWilliam, was living 9 Feb 1218/9. [Complete

        «b»Biography«/b»
        Ela de Warenne, (d. bef. 1240), was the daughter of Isabel de Warenne and Hamelin, 4th Earl of Surrey. Foster (1874), calls her Adela in the FitzWilliam pedigree.

        «b»Marriage«/b»
        Ela married twice.

        Newburn or Newburgh
        Her first husband was Robert de Newburn (dsp abt. 1192), alias: Neufbourg or Newburgh, s. & h. of Henry. From c. 1220-28, Ela sued for dower in several English manors, in right of her first marriage to Robert de Newburgh.

        Cawley (2006), notes that The Complete Peerage names "Ela" as daughter of Earl William and her husbands firstly "Robert de Newburn of whom nothing is known" and secondly "William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough", but does not cite the primary sources on which this information is based. The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not yet been identified.

        FitzWilliam
        She remarried to William FitzWilliam of Sprotborough, co. York. (living 1219; d. bef. 23 Feb 1223/4). He was the son of William FitzWilliam and Avice de Tanai.

        William also married twice, but the order of his wives is unknown. The other woman was named Matilda or Maud. Cawley (2006), states that William's marriage to Maud is verified by a charter dating to 1331.

        «b»Children
        construction by Cawley, 2006:«/b»

        (uncertain) Sir Thomas FitzWilliam of Emley & Sprotborough, co. York. (fl. 10 Hen. III, 1226-66).
        According to Cawley (2006), Thomas could have been the son of either of FitzWilliam's wives. He cites no other children.

        construction by Douglas Richardson:

        Lewis (2020), citing works by Douglas Richardson, asserts that the following people were children of Ela de Warrene and William FitzWilliam. Cawley (2006), does not name them at all.

        Roger, Lord Gretwell
        Dionis or Denise
        Ellen.
        Sir Thomas.

        «b»Mistress of King John?«/b»
        She was a niece, ward and mistress of king John "Lackland".

        Cawley (2006), citing Given-Wilson & Curteis, states that a mistress of King John was the "sister of William de Warenne," but the authors do not identify which sister she was.

        The Chronicle of Robert of Gloucester names "Richard fiz le rei…Ion" and "the erles daughter of Wareine" his mother.... Mistress of John of England, son of Henry II King of England & Eléonore Dss d'Aquitaine (Beaumont Palace, Oxford 24 Dec 1167-Newark Castle, Lincolnshire 18/19 Oct 1216, bur Worcester Cathedral). He succeeded in 1199 as JOHN King of England.]

        «b»Events
        Abbey of Roche, co. York.«/b»

        "About 1200 Ela daughter of Earl Hamelin de Warenne and widow of William Fitzwilliam gave to the abbey of Roche (Yorks.) 5 virgates of land in Rottingdean (Sussex). This the Yorkshire abbey transferred to the Dean and Chapter of Chichester, who in 1248 conveyed it to the Priory of Sele (near Bramber) in return for an annual payment in support of the chantry of Holy Cross and St. Augustine in the cathedral. The subsequent history of the estate is unknown."

        After Ela died, her brother William, 6th Earl de Warrene, confirmed the gift (for her own burial) to the Abbey of Roche. Farrer & Clay (2013), date this event to 1219/40.
