• Notes

  Count of Meulan. Earl of Worcester. Also called Galeran. Called by later genealogists "Waleran de Beaumont," but he never used a surname. Twin brother of Robert de Beaumont, Earl of Leicester. After their father's death, the two brothers were raised together in the royal household. Much detail on his career here. He died as a monk at the Abbey of St.-Pierre in Preaux.
