This is the Huntingdon family and de Warenne family.
Henry of Huntingdon, Earl of Huntingdon, Earl of Northumberland and Carlisle, Rex Designatus m�d Ada (Adelaide) DE WARENNE. Their son David, Earl of Huntingdon m�d == Maud, dau. of Hugh, Earl of Chester Their 2nd daughter Isabel of Huntington m�d Sir Robert de Bruce This my line but here is the rest of the family and my line too.
Staring with the Huntingdon family:
Earl Waltheof b 1046 d 31 MAY 1076; Executed, St. Giles Hill. m�d Judith (a niece of King) Waltheof His father: Siward BIORNSSON and his m other: Aelfled III. Judith dau of Lambert II of Lens von Boulogne and Adeliza of NORMANY
Story goes that in the Spring and Summer of 1075, the Earls of Norfolk and Hereford were conspiring to seize England for themselves, and they enticed Waltheof to join in. He quickly changed his mind, and reconciled with the King, who treated the matter lightly, but at Christmas 1075, Waltheof was brought to trial, his wife (the King's niece) being a witness against him. When the trial resumed in May Waltheof was found guilty and beheaded on St. Giles's Hill (I suppose this is in Winchester, which is where he was tried) on 31 May 1076.
Waltheof and Judith DE LENS had no sons and two known daughters, (1) Maud, who married first Simon de Saint Liz (Senlis) and second David I King of Scots, and (2) Judith or Alice, who married Ralph de Toni the younger.
David I, King of Scots m�d Maud daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Huntingdon. David had three or four son but only one reach adulthood. That was Henry.

Died: 27 MAY 1085, Castle Acre, Norfolk. Interred: Chapter House, Lewes, Sussex.
At one time it was thought that Gundred was the daughter of William the Conqueror. This has since been disproved.
(�William the Conqueror_ by David C. Douglas (U Calif. Press, 1964) says (p. 76) that "at one time it was held that when William sought her hand, Matilda was already the wife of a certain Gerbod, by whom she had a daughter, who later became the wife of William of Warenne, the first earl of Surrey. This, however, has now been finally disproved, and it is in the highest degree improbable that Matilda was married to anyone before the Conqueror." Appendix C has details, sources.
Douglas goes on to say (p.267) that Gundrada was the daughter of a Flemish _advocatus_ named Gerbod (alt.sp. Gherbod). This Gerbod had three children who went to England: Gerbod, prob. _advocatus_ at the Abbey of Saint-Bertin, who was made earl of Chester in 1070 but left England soon after; Frederic, who received lands in East Anglia; and Gundrada, who m. William de Warenne, who became earl of Surrey in 1088. Douglas cites R.E.C. Waters, _Gundrada de Warenne_ (Exeter, 1884) and Sir Charles Clay, _Early Yorkshire Charters_.�)

article by K. S. B. Keats-Rohan, "Aspects of Robert of Torigny's genealogies revisited, "Nottingham Medieval Studies xxxvii (1993), pp. 21-27. In this article it is demonstrated that Beatrix and Emma are not two wives of a single Rodulph (Ralph), but rather the wives of successive generations: Rodulph I and Rodulph II. William was daughter of Roduph II and Emma; not of Rodulph I and Beatrix as appears in Complete Peerage and L. C. Loyd. This leads to the following ancestral table for William de Warenne:
1 William de WARENNE Earl. Born circa 1055 of Bellebcombe, France. Died 24 Jun 1088 in Lewes (Sussex) England. Buried in Chapter House, Lewes (Sussex) England.

"The Complete Peerage"
�Keats Rohan article, you will see that even the Warenne part of Chart 2 cannot possibly be correct. Basically, the Keats-Rohan argument has three main points: (1) It is argued that two Ralphs (father and son) have accidentally been combined into a single generation, so that what previous accounts give as one man marrying Beatrice and Emma in succession should actually be two Ralphs, of whom the first married Beatrice and the second married Emma. [Note: "Ralph" and "Rodulf" are different forms of the same name. I am using the form as it appears in Keats-Rohan.] (2) It is argued that Beatrice, wife of Ralph de Warenne, is the same person as the _widow_ Beatrice (sister of Gotmund and daughter of Tesselin), who granted lands to her sons Ralph and Roger. (This is the key point of the article, but that is not made as clear as it should be in the article.)
(3) It is argued that the Roger of (2) is Roger de Mortemer. Chart 2 involves accepting (2) as true, but rejecting (1) and (3), but this is not feasible. If you reject (1), then you are assuming that Ralph had a second wife after Beatrice, and Beatrice can therefore not possibly be Ralph's widow. Thus, if you reject point (1), logic requires you to also reject point (2). Since Chart 2 is based on accepting point (2) and rejecting point (1), it cannot be right.�
The second edition of Cokayne's *Complete Peerage*, vol. XII, Part 1, pp. 491-493. Rodulf I de Warenne is of unknown parentage (p. 491, note (g)). He married, first, Beatrice "whose mother was almost certainly a sister of Gunnor, 2nd wife of Richard I, Duke of Normandy". She was living about 1053. Rodulf married, second, in or before 1059, Emma, whose parentage is unknown. Rodulf and Emma were both living in 1074. William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey, was a younger son of Rodulf and Beatrice .
By the way, you state that Gundred was a daughter of William the Conqueror. This was shown to be false many years ago. See, for instance, C. T. Clay, *Early Yorkshire Charters*, vol. VIII, Appendix A (pp. 40-46). Gundred was a sister of Gerbod the Fleming, Earl of Chester, and possibly a daughter of Gerbod, hereditary advocate of the abbey of St. Bertin at St. Omer.
According to the recent reconstruction of Keats-Rohan, William was son of Rodolf II by his only (known) wife Emma, and that the Beatrice often shown as William's mother was actually his grandmother Gundred, wife of William de Warrenne, may have been daughter of Gherbod the Fleming but she was definitely not a child of Maud of Flanders. A forged charter known to William Dugdale in the 17th century was long believed to indicate that Gundred was actually a daughter of William the Conqueror and Matilda/Maud of Flanders. Once that myth was exploded, however, and it was realized that Gundred might well have been Gherbod's child, another legend got in the way--that Matilda had been married to Gherbod before she married William and that Gundred was the child of this early marriage. Of course, none of this is true. I believe the sources of the early disinformation are sorted out in CP under "Surrey," and if memory serves me aright at this hour of the morning, David Douglas' *William the Conqueror* says something brief about the legends. The late American humorist Will Cuppy, in "The Decline and Fall of Practically Everybody," a howling good read in any case, has a highly amusing chapter on William the Conqueror in which Cuppy managed to make it appear that just about everybody in the Middle Ages was illegitimate, and pokes fun at all those (including President McKinley) who claimed to be descended from William through Gundred, but smugly concludes that they weren't and wondered how they could stand the humiliation of NOT being descended from a bastard.

The empire,(Carolingian Kingdom) based in present-day France, also included large parts of what are now Germany and Italy as well as other areas. Charlemagne had built and expanded the empire by conquering much of western Europe.
Louis was born in Chasseneuil, France. He was unable to pursue further expansion because of Viking and Muslim raids, internal revolts, and divisions among the nobility. In 830, a civil war broke out over how the empire should be divided among Louis's four sons. During the struggle, Louis was removed from the throne temporarily, from 833 to 834. Civil war, Louis's indecisiveness, and other problems gradually weakened government authority and helped cause the empire to break apart after Louis's death.

Carolingian Kingdom.
CHARLEMAGNE, pronounced SHAHR luh mayn (742-814), or Charles the Great, was the most famous ruler of the Middle Ages and a key figure in European history. He conquered much of western Europe and united it under a great empire. Charlemagne revived the political and cultural life of Europe, which had collapsed after the fall of the West Roman Empire in the A.D. 400's. His activities laid the foundation of the European civilization that arose during the later Middle Ages.
More is known about Charlemagne than most medieval rulers because of a biography written by Einhard, a friend of his son Louis the Pious. This biography describes Charlemagne as more than 6 feet (2 meters) tall, with piercing eyes, fair hair, a thick neck, and a potbelly. He was strong, fond of exercise, and had an alert mind and a forceful personality. Charlemagne could read and speak Latin, the language of educated people of his time. However, he never learned to write it.
Military Conquests. Charlemagne was a son of Pepin the Short, who became king of the Franks in 751 (see FRANKS). After Pepin died in 768, his two sons, Charlemagne and Carloman, shared the Frankish kingdom. The kingdom covered what is now Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and part of western Germany. Charlemagne became the sole ruler of the Frankish kingdom following Carloman's death in 771. Charlemagne began to expand his kingdom almost immediately. He conquered Lombardy and Bavaria and added them to his realm. He took land and treasure from the Avars in eastern Europe.
Charlemagne waged his longest and bitterest campaign against the Saxons, a pagan people who lived in northwestern Germany. He subdued the Saxons after about 30 years of war and forced them to accept Christianity.
Charlemagne also waged war in Spain. He was returning from an expedition there in 778 when a mountain people called the Basques ambushed and wiped out his rear guard. This incident became the subject of the famous epic poem The Song of Roland. In the poem, however, the ambushers were the Moors, a Muslim people who ruled Spain (see ROLAND).
By 800, Charlemagne's realm extended from central Italy north to Denmark and from eastern Germany west to the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout his reign, Charlemagne followed a policy of friendship and cooperation with the Christian church. He protected the church and continually extended its power. In recognition of Charlemagne's vast power, and to strengthen the king's alliance with the church, Pope Leo III crowned him emperor of the Romans on Christmas Day, 800 (see ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH [Charlemagne]).
Administration and Influence. In Charlemagne's time, Europe had hardly any towns, trade, or industry. Almost all the people made their living by farming, and they raised barely enough to feed themselves. Few people had much money, and the government and laws of the old Roman Empire had disappeared.
To improve conditions, Charlemagne introduced a number of reforms. He granted large estates to loyal nobles, who, in return, provided military and political services to the king. The nobles also maintained the roads, bridges, and fortifications on their land. This arrangement, called feudalism, became the basic political and military system of Europe for the next 400 years (see FEUDALISM). Charlemagne helped increase the supply of food by introducing more efficient methods of farming. To stimulate trade, he coined silver money and encouraged the establishment of markets.
Charlemagne was devoted to justice and good government. He decreed that all courts be held regularly and that judges base their decisions only on accepted law. He divided his realm into districts and appointed efficient officers to administer them. Periodically, Charlemagne sent royal inspectors to carry his orders to the districts and to report on local conditions. In this way, he kept control of the distant parts of his empire. Charlemagne also improved education and culture by establishing a school at his palace in Aachen. This palace school attracted the best teachers and students in Europe. It educated clergymen, thus strengthening the church, and trained teachers for schools throughout the empire. Scholars at the schools collected and copied ancient Roman manuscripts, which otherwise would have been lost forever. They also developed a new style of handwriting, called Carolingian minuscule. This style of handwriting later became the model for printing. The revival of learning under Charlemagne is sometimes called the Carolingian Renaissance.
After Charlemagne died in 814, his empire fell apart. Attacks by Vikings and other invaders weakened the empire, and in 843, Charlemagne's grandsons divided it into three parts. By the late 800's, the empire had ceased to exist. However, the cultural revival begun by Charlemagne had a lasting effect on European civilization. Charlemagne's empire also inspired later attempts to unite many European nations. Some scholars trace the origins of the Holy Roman Empire back to Charlemagne's empire. aka Charles the Great.

Notes...
PEPIN THE SHORT, pronounced PEHP ihn (714?-768), also called Pepin III, was the first king of the Frankish Carolingian dynasty. The Franks were Germanic peoples who gradually gained control of much of present-day France and Germany and other parts of Western Europe during the early Middle Ages. In 742, Pepin and his brother Carloman jointly inherited from their father, Charles Martel, the title of Mayor of the Palace. Since the late 600's, mayors had held greater power than the Merovingian kings, who ruled the Franks in name only. As mayors, Pepin and Carloman extended Frankish rule to parts of Saxony and Bavaria. After Carloman became a monk in 747, Pepin ruled alone as mayor. In 751, with Pope Zachary's help, Pepin deposed the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, and became king of the Franks. As king, Pepin aided the pope against the Lombards, a Germanic people who had conquered much of Italy. Pepin seized some of the Lombard lands in Italy and gave them to Pope Stephen II in 756. This so-called Donation of Pepin is often seen as forming the core of the Papal States, a territory controlled by the pope until the 1800's. Pepin also added Aquitaine to his kingdom. His son Charlemagne became one of the most powerful rulers in European history. Acceded: 751

Notes
CHARLES MARTEL (688?-741) ruled northern Gaul from 719 to 741. Gaul was a region in Europe that included what are now France, Germany west of the Rhine River, and Belgium. Charles was not a king but ruled as "mayor of the palace" in the name of several weak kings from the Merovingian dynasty (family of rulers). From 714 to 719, Charles fought to establish his rule in northern Gaul. Later, he brought Burgundy, the southeastern part of present-day France, under his control. He also conquered Frisia in what is now the Netherlands. He helped convert Germany to Christianity by sponsoring the missionary work of Saint Boniface. In 732, Charles defeated an invading Muslim army at the Battle of Poitiers, also called the Battle of Tours. The fighting began near Tours, France, and ended near Poitiers. Charles was later called Martel, meaning the Hammer, because of his victory over the Muslims. Charles's son Pepin the Short was the first king in the Carolingian dynasty. Charles's grandson Charlemagne conquered a vast empire. King of the Franks
