Burga de Stuteville

Although the Latin forms of Stutvilla, Stotvilla and Estotvilla are used indiscriminately, it is convenient for purposes of distinction to restrict the form Estouteville to the Norman/French lines descended from Nicolas d’Estouteville, lord of Valmont. Further, the use of de Stuteville is restricted to the English descent from Robert III de Stuteville and his brothers.

from fmgMedlands 11. [BURGA [de Stuteville] (-after 1166). Domesday Descendants names "Burga de Stuteville" as the wife of William Pantulf, but does not cite the primary source which confirms her family origin[303]. If this affiliation is correct, the chronology suggests that Burga was the daughter of Robert [II] d’Estouteville and his second wife, named after her mother. Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed donations to Langley Nunnery, Leicestershire made by “Willielmus Pantulf…de Bredun”, and including other donations made by “…Burgæ quondam uxoris Willielmi Pantulf de Bredun”, by undated charter[304]. "William Pantulf of Samella, his wife Burga and his three sons William, Roger and Philip" donated "the land of Samella" to Saint-André de Gouffern by charter dated 1166, witnessed by "Willelmus Bastardus filius meus…"[305]. m WILLIAM [II] Pantulf, son of [IVO Pantulf & his [second] wife Alice de Verdun] (-after 1166).]

from Early Yorkshire Charters pg 26-27 - in 1184 Burga rendered account of 20 marks for a recognition of the death of John her brother in respect of the land in 'Ketelbi' - as wife of William Pantulf, Burga made a gift of land in 'Ketelbi' to Langly priory - there follows on page 27, an extensive summary of an 1199 case of Burga's son Roger, the conclusion of which is "In that event she can be identified as a daughter of Robert de Stuteville II. Her christian name recalls that of the latter's wife Erneburga; and it can be noticed that there were two other examples of the name Burga or Burgia - namely Burga daughter of Robert de Stuteville III who married William de Vescy, and Burgia daughter of Roger Pantulf, both of whom are lineal descendants of Erneburga."
