About William fitzWimund
Lived 1037 – 1087 (aged 49–50). William fitzWimund was a feudatory.
William fitzWimund was a Norman landholder in England after the Norman Conquest.
FitzWimund was from Avranches in Normandy, where he held land. In Domesday Book fitzWimund is recorded as holding land in Exeter as a tenant of Baldwin fitzGilbert.
FitzWimund married a daughter of his overlord, Baldwin FitzGilbert. She may possibly have been named Matilda, as she is given that name on a document dated in 1066 but that must date later than that, as the text of the document refers to Michael, Bishop of Avranches, who was bishop from 1069 to 1084. A daughter married William Paynel, but her name is not known.
