PEDIGREE OF WARREN AND PIERPOINT. page 85. HUGH, Bishop of Coutances, 990; living 20 Niece of Gunnora, wife of Richard I., Duke of Normandy. 1 Rodolphus, fil. Episcopi, 1. Beatrice. 2. Emma. (a) p. 86. 1053. 1059. (c) p. 84. Philip de Burnham de Warren held the manors of BurnhamThorpe and Harpley, in the county of Norfolk, temp. Stephen; which were held by "Walter" at the Domesday Survey, under William de Warren. As Philip's wife held part of the manor of Harpley, it is probable she was heiress of Walter. A pedigree of the Burnhams is given in Gurney's Record of the House of Gournay: the heiress of one branch married a Gournay, and of another a Calthorp; the latter bore a coat of which chequy was the basis, and the Gournays quartered two coats of chequy with differences.Mr. Gurney thinks Philip descended from Reginald, son of William and Gundrada; but dates render this improbable, if not impossible. As the descendants of Philip bore the chequy coat, it was doubtless derived from marriages with cousins descended from Isabel de Vermandois, from whom that coat was obtained. 〒 Sir Robert de Pierpoint, of Holme Pierrepoint.
