I may be wrong, but I think Todd Farmerie either looked somewhere I didn't, or he could be wrong. To quote him, "I don't know where CP got the speculation that she was daughter of a Count of Egisheim, but it is correct that she was not daughter of prior Counts of Hainault. "
IN CP volume VI page 448 she is mentioned as Richilde daughter and heir of Renier, Count of Mons in Hainault. According to a footnote, she married William FitzOsbern shortly before he went into battle, "and it is stated that she was taken in the battle where her new husband was killed."
