• Notes

  Also called Guiscard de Sabaudia. "When the king's uncle, Peter of Savoy, came to England in 1241, he brought with him three of his kinsmen, a knight, a cleric and a Cluniac monk. They were brothers, and they all obtained positions of preferment in their new home. The clerk, Guischard de Charron, a man of Falstaffian proportions and appetite, was appointed by Peter of Savoy to be seneschal of the honor of Richmond. Although in orders and rector of Fransham in Norfolk, a living to which the king, on September 22, 1242, presented him, he married and had a son, also named Guischard, who in his turn had a son Guischard, a circumstance that renders it difficult to determine, in some cases, the identity of the person named. Probably the elder Guischard continued to be seneschal until his death, and was succeeded in that office by his son, whom Peter of Savoy, on leaving England early in 1261, entrusted with the administration of his English estates."
