Lord William Tracy
(Aft 1090 - Abt 1136)
==William de Tracy==
WILLIAM de Tracy or Tracey, is an illegitimate son of Henry I of England. His mother is unknown.
According to the Medlands project at fmg.ac, William may have been born during the 1090s. He died soon after his father, allegedly leaving (by an unknown wife) a daughter and heir named Grace.: Complete Peerage, Volume XI, Appendix D (which is entitled "HENRY I'S ILLEGITIMATE CHILDREN"), pp. 105-12 However, this is disputed in other sources.: According to Ancestral Roots (line 222-27), Grace was not a daughter of William, but of unknown parents; and Grace's son John was b. bef 1114 ("of age by 1135", admittedly from a "bef 1130" marriage, but there is no way Grace fits as daughter of William "b. c 1190" with a son born that early. Therefore I have Grace's father as an unknown Henry de Tracy.
Grace married John de Sudeley, of Sudeley Castle and Toddington, co. Gloucester: 3rd s. of Harold de Ewias, lord of Ewias (co. Hereford) and Sudeley, s. and h. of Ralph, Earl of Hereford, s. of Dreu, Count of the French Vexin, by Godgifu, sister of Edward the Confessor.
* 1st son, Ralph de Sudeley, suc. his father at Sudeley;
* 2nd son, William of Toddington, took his mother's name of Tracy or Tracey; hence Ralph de Sudeley confirmed a gift of his brother William de Tracy to Gloucester Abbey.
The direct line of Tracy of Toddington became extinct on the death of Henry (Tracy), 8th Viscount Tracy, in 1797; but cadets of this very ancient house may still exist.
