Immediate Family:
Son of Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Lassy and Emma
Walter married Emma or Emmelina and they had three sons – Roger, Hugh and Walter. Roger was the heir to Weobley and Walter became Abbot of Gloucester Abbey.[1] Occasionally the elder Walter is claimed to have married twice – once to Emma and once to an Ermeline, but this is probably a confusion of the variations of Emma's name. Walter and Emma also had a daughter who became a nun at St Mary's Abbey, Winchester. A niece was married to Ansfrid de Cormeilles.[11] Considerable confusion exists about Sybil, the wife of Pain fitzJohn. C. P. Lewis names her as the daughter of Walter,[2] but W. E. Wightman calls her the daughter of Hugh, Walter's son.[12] Yet another pedigree has her as the daughter of Agnes, the daughter of Walter. In this rendition, favoured by Bruce Coplestone-Crow, Agnes was married to Geoffrey Talbot.[13]
The elder Walter died on 27 March 1085,[2] falling off some scaffolding at Saint Guthlac's Priory when he was inspecting the progress of the building at that monastery.[14] He was buried in the chapter house at Gloucester Abbey.[2] He was a benefactor to Gloucester Abbey,[15] as well as Saint Guthlac's.[2]
