DE EWRUS Walter
Birth:          ABT 1033 of Rosmar, Normandy

Notes
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ela_of_Salisbury,_3rd_Countess_of_Salisbury
The Earls of Salisbury are sometimes mistakenly assigned the surname "d’Evreux", but 
it is spurious, arising from confusion over the nickname of a fictitious ancestor, Walter 
le Ewrus (Walter the Fortunate). The family of the Earls of Salisbury never used the 
name "d’Evreux", they do not descend from the Norman Counts of Evreux, nor do the 
later Devereux derive from them. See Cokayne, George (1982). The Complete Peerage 
of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, Extant, Extinct, 
or Dormant. XI. Gloucester England: A. Sutton. p. 373, note (b). ISBN 0-904387-82-8.
So Walter D'Evereux and William D'Evereux who have DE EWRUS as alternative 
surnames are not related to this Walter De Ewrus (and perhaps those two ought not 
have those alternative surnames).
