Pantulf chronology (II): DD correction

I recently wrote:

"According to Keats-Rohan (Domesday Descendants, p 1059), William
Pantulf was the son of Ivo Pantulf and Alice de Verdun; he married
Burga de Stuteville, with whom he founded a nunnery at Langley, 'circa
1150'. His three legitimate sons, William, Roger and Philip, were
apparently named in a charter of 1166, so were born before the latter
date. The entry for Ivo Pantulf states that he succeeded his father
'before c1137/1138' and died in 1175. By his first marriage, he had
Hugh, Hamelin and Brice, and by his second marriage (to Alice de
Verdun) he
had William and Norman.

"Hugh was his father's heir, inheriting the family's estate at Wem.
He is the subject of an ODNB article, which states he married
Christiana Fitzalan in 1170, and died in 1224.

"These latter two dates seem to cast a question mark over the
activities of William, apparently his younger brother (in fact, two
other brothers seem to be between them). If Hugh married in 1170 and
died in 1224, is it likely that his younger brother should have been
married and founding priories by circa 1150?"

I had the opportunity yesterday to look at Eyton's Antiquities of
Shropshire (Vol 9, p 158 et seq) which provides considerable detail
about the Pantulf family.

Of particular interest was what he had to say about William Pantulf,
son of Ivo and Alice. Eyton notes that William suceeded to some of
his mother's property at Rudyard, Staffs, and to estates at both
Cublesden and Sheriff Hales from his father. Tracing these
properties, Eyton concludes that William was still living in 1226, and
"probably" left a son William, dead in 1253 leaving a widow Alice and
an only daughter, Rohese, wife of William Trussell. He refers to the
Pantulf family of Leicestershire but does not attempt to tie them in.

It seems to me that William the son of Ivo Pantulf is an entirely
different person from William the husband of Burge de Stuteville, and
that it is not possible to state how the Leicestershire family was
related to the Shropshire Pantulfs.
