Commentary
On Sir Reginald’s parents:
Sir Reginald held part of a fee in Torrington, Lincolnshire in 1242 which the elder Reginald de Gerponville had previously held (EYC 10:p. 78). Clay suggests that the elder Reginald may have been the younger son of an earlier Reginald de Gerponville who witnessed charters in Normandy in the late 1100s. He was married to an Emmeline and presumably took his name from the village of Gerponville.
