The Tosny Family of Belvoir

Legg inn av Chuck Owens » 30 nov 2006 18:40:21

Hello,

I was wondering what the latest consensus was on where the Tosnys of
Belvoir fit into the Tosny family tree. Circumstantial evidence seems
to point in the direction of Robert de Tosny and his brother Berengar
Hispina de Tosny being sons of Roger I "the Spaniard" de Tosny by
"Estefania" de Barcelona, daughter of Conde Ramon Borrell de Barcelona,
since Berengar is an unusual name, since Roger I de Tosny's
brother-in-law was Berengar Ramon, and since "Hispina" may be a
misspelling of "Hispana" which translated from Latin means "of Spain".

Has anybody found any evidence which contradicts the above hypothesis
regarding the origin of the Tosny family of Belvoir?

I'm interested in any comments or opinions regarding the Tosny family.

Thanks,

Chuck Owens
