I have seen numerous statements that Peter de Valognes, Domesday holder of
the barony of Benington [Sanders, 12], was "nephew of the Conqueror", but no
sourced evidence for this has come to light. Various web sites show him
(again without sources) as son of Adelaide of Normandy and Enguerrand de
Ponthieu, but this seems extremely unlikely given the latter died in 1053
without a male heir.

Does anyone know of any sources which might support a kinship with William
I, or even identify his parentage?
