Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Devereux_(born_1173)

Walter Devereux is descended from William Devereux[2] who held land in Hereford 
and Gloucester at Domesday in 1086.

William’s son, Walter Devereux of Lyonshall,[2] gained control of Lyonshall Castle as 
the caput of the Devereux’s marcher lordship. With the exile of Roger de Lacy in 
1085, Walter of Lyonshall joined the retinue of Bernard de Neufmarché, Lord of 
Brecon.[3][a]

On the death of Bernard about 1125, another Walter Devereux, son of Walter of 
Lyonshall, joined the retinue of Miles de Gloucester, 1st Earl of Hereford.[b] Taking 
advantage of the civil war between King Stephen and the Empress Matilda, this 
Walter Devereux[2] increased his autonomy.[4][c] Walter probably was present at the 
Battle of Lincoln,[5] and the Rout of Winchester [6] with the earl of Hereford. A 
supporter of the Empress Maud, he was rewarded when her son, Henry II, finally took 
the throne.[7][8][d] With the extinction of the male line of the earls of Hereford in 
1155, Walter Devereux and his son, John,[2] joined the retinue of Humphrey II de 
Bohun, Lord of Trowbridge.[e]
