12th-century Anglo-Norman nobleman
About William de Courcy
William de Courcy was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and baron.
William was the son of William de Courcy and his wife Emma de Falaise. Through his mother, William inherited the barony of Stogursey in Somerset, as his mother was the sole heir of William de Falaise, the lord of Stogursey in Domesday Book. William and Emma were also the parents of two other sons: Richard and Robert.
William died before 1130. His heir was his son William de Courcy. Another son was Robert, who was steward to King Stephen of England. But Marjorie Chibnall thinks this Robert is a cousin, from the Norman branch.
