=== Research Notes ===: Citations needed for dates. Richardson shows husband William de Hastings as born before 1173 and their son Henry born about 1205.
: Douglas Richardson has summarised the evidence, which basically comes from one very old (but highly respected) secondary source, William Dugdale, whose source in turn was apparently the collection of Robert Glover Somerset Herald (now hard to trace):
::"Margaret le Bigod, is alleged by Dugdale to have had the manor of Little Bradley, Suffolk in marriage, which might well be true. However, I don't find any of the later male members of the Hastings family dealing with this manor, so the manor was probably passed in marriage to one of the later Hastings women in this time period."[https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/soc.genealogy.medieval/3oWGE4p1lHs soc.gen.medieval post]
: William Dugdale, in his original Baronage, page 574, names William's wife as Margerie, daughter of Roger de Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, and says the land at Little Bradley which came with this marriage was to be enjoyed after the death of Gundred, Roger's step mother.[https://books.google.be/books?pg=PA140 Eyton] (Shropshire Vol V) points out that Dugdale attaches this marriage to the wrong William, at least according to all modern genealogies, but that he could be interpreted as getting it right under the Bigod's on page 133 of Baronage. Gundred would have been the daughter of Roger de Beaumont, 2nd Earl of Warwick.
: Encouragingly however, Little Bradley does seem to appear in the Inquisition Post Mortem of William's great grandson, the first Lord John de Hastings.[https://archive.org/stream/calendarofinquis62grea#page/n35/mode/2up Calendar of Inquisitions]
: Richardson also found evidence that the Bigod family had at least held Great Bradley (E 40/3775. Grant by William Bygod, lord of Great Bradley near St. Edmund's). Also, for Bradley generally, Katharine Keats-Rohan has written that: :"Adeliza Bigod was addressed in writs of Henry I and Stephen concerning tithes at Bradley, Suffolk: Regesta Regum Anglo-Normannorum, II, nos 1485, 1495; III, no. 82."Prosopon, No. 10 (1999), pg. 3
: An earlier source sometimes given for this marriage is Milles The Catalogue of Honour (1610) p.503. But Milles was nephew of Robert Glover and so he apparently used the same sources as Dugdale.
