Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_II_of_Tosny
Raoul II de Tosny[1]seigneur de Conches-en-Ouche[2] (died 9 April 1102[3]) was a 
Norman nobleman of the House of Tosny, son of Roger I of Tosny. He was active in 
Normandy, England and Wales.
Victor at Hastings in 1066[edit]

He is one of the very few proven Companions of William the Conqueror known to have 
fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.[4] Tradition says he gave up the role of 
standard bearer, his hereditary office, to Walter Giffard, in order to be able to fight 
closer to William, duke of Normandy.[5]

Marriage[edit]

He married Isabel de Montfort, daughter of Simon I de Montfort. There was a feud with 
Guillaume d'Evreux and his wife Helvise de Nevers, recorded by Ordericus Vitalis.[6] 
This came to open war in 1091–92, when Guillaume attacked Conches. A settlement 
was reached.[7] They later co-operated in attacking Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of 
Leicester's county of Meulan.

In England[edit]

He had widely spread holdings, as recorded in the Domesday Survey. His seat was at 
Flamstead in Hertfordshire.[8] He held Clifford Castle. It is also believed that he held 
assets in the village of Hose, Leicestershire, which was split into two manors, Tosny's 
and that of the title holder of the Norman Belvoir Castle.

Family[edit]

Robert de Stafford was his brother.

His second son, Raoul IV de Conches, was his surviving heir. He married Alice of 
Huntingdon, daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, and Judith of Lens.[9]

His daughter Godehilde married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.
