Pons Fitzwilliams

How do most feel about the link between Pons FitzWilliam (Aka PONS), father
of Dru/Drogo Fitzpons, Walter Fitzpons, etc) and William of Hiesmes, Count of
Eu, as shown in the following link? I know the website maintains it is not
proven, only implied, but not sure if any proof has been found anywhere for
the connection. Since DRU Fitzpons ended up with 73 manors by 1086, I doubt he
was a lowly peon in Williams army in 1066. I am about to work on a later
Count of Eu line, that of Raoul de Lusignan. I have no idea as I write this if he
is related to William of Hiesmes or not, but I will find out soon. It seems
the more I research, the more my lines intermarry. There are several children
from multiple marriages in one family I connect to, and apparently, with
Maud de Bohun (1140? to after 1200), one of the children from her first marriage
is said to have married a son from her second marriage, altho I dont know
how that was allowed.

PS I found out I did not put the link in my last email, so here it is

I think this speculation that Pons was a fourth son of William and Lescelina
can be dismissed out of hand. Whatever Moncreiffe had to say about this, he
cannot be set beside William of Jumieges as a source for Norman comital
families.

He also wasn't a masterly exponent of logical deduction from stated or
unstated evidence. Moncreiffe tended to love novelties for their own sake,
and wasn't always careful or indeed sensible in researching his
unpredictable brainwaves.
