Notes
Individual Note
The parentage of Gunnora provided by the well-researched Foundation for Medieval Genealogy conflicts with many popular family trees that list Gunnora, wife of Gilbert, as the daughter of Foulques III d'Aunou.
Rather, the FMG (Charles Cawley) lists her as the daughter of Baldric (see below) and his wife, who was, interestingly, listed as being an unnamed granddaughter of Gilbert of Brionne (since the FMG does not put Gilbert of Brionne as the father of Hesilia). [This also seems to be supported by other medieval genealogy scholars such as Keats-Rohan--see the note from Curt Hofeman, added below.]
Cawley writes:
BALDRIC, son of ---. According to Orderic Vitalis[1195], "Baldricus Teutonicus" came to Normandy with his brother Wigerius [Viger/Wigerich] to serve Duke Richard II and married the neptis of Gilbert de Brionne. Her exact parentage is not known. In the same passage, Orderic records that the couple had "six sons and several daughters", naming the sons as "Nicolaus…de Baschevilla et Fulco de Alnou, Rodbertus de Curceio et Ricardus de Nova-Villa, Baldricus de Balgenzaio et Wigerius Apuliensis", and that he arranged the marriage of "Elizabeth sororem suam" to "Fulconi de Bona-Valle". He held the honour of Bocquencé..

Notes from Curt Hofemann posted to the webpage of Ivor Jones regarding Gunnora d'Aunou (http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ivorwjones&id=I336887746):
parents: Gonnor (Gunnor) was the daughter of Baldric the Teuton, and a niece of Gilbert, Count of Brionne. [Ref: McBride citing Burke's p118-120, CP VI p498-503, Wurts p47-70], father: Baudri "the German", father of Nicholas de Bacqueville, Fulk de Aunou, Robert de Courcy, and Gunnor [Ref: TAF 21 Aug 2000 citing: Keats-Rohan "Domesday Book and the Malets: Patrimony and the Private Histories of Public Lives" in *Nottingham Medieval Studies* xli (1997),
Gunnora, sister of Fulk de Aunou is not daughter of Osmund, but of Baudri. [Ref: TAF 26 Aug 2000] Fulk d'Aunou had a sister Gunnor [Ref: TAF: 21 Aug 2000]
Research note
1: father Fulk son of Baldric [Ref: Turton]
2: Gilbert's wife Gonnor (Gunnor) was the daughter of Baldric the Teuton, and a niece of Gilbert, Count of Brionne. [Ref: McBride2 citing Burke's p118-120, CP VI p498-503, Wurts p47-70]
3: She (Elisabeth Van Houts) also argues that Robert confused things, that it was Baudri "the German", father of Nicholas de Bacqueville, Fulk de Aunou, Robert de Courcy, and Gunnor wife of Gilbert Crispin, who married the niece of Duchess Gunnor, while it was Nicholas's wife, Gertrude, who was niece of Gilbert of Brionne. [Ref: TAF 21 Aug 2000 citing: Keats-Rohan "Domesday Book and the Malets: Patrimony and the Private Histories of Public Lives" in *Nottingham Medieval Studies* xli (1997),
note: this implies the Fulk was Gunnora's brother, not father...Curt
4: First of all, while there is extensive debate, it is not generally fealt (sic) that Fulk d'Aunou, son of Baudri the German is the same as Fulk "de Alneio", son of Osmund of Centemvilliers. (For example, Wace appears to distinguish the two toponyms.) Thus Gunnora, sister of Fulk de Aunou is not daughter of Osmund, but of Baudri. Likewise Gunnora de Aunou married, not Gilbert de Brionne, but Gilbert Crispin. Gilbert de Brionne comes into play as supposed uncle of Baudri's wife, although this seems chronologically impossible... [Ref: TAF 26 Aug 2000]
5: ...based on the fact that Fulk d'Aunou had a sister Gunnor, Keats-Rohan has suggested that these two somehow got switched, and that it was Baldric who married the Gunnorid, while Nicholas married Gilbert's niece. This works better chronologically, since Gilbert de Brionne was two generations after Gunnor, his niece three and Nicholas four, while the wife of Nicholas would be just one, or perhaps two generation removed from Gunnor. Reversing them as Keats-Rohan suggests makes the wife four, and the husband three or four (because some of the nieces appear to have been grandnieces). [Ref: TAF: 21 Aug 2000]
Gunnor 1, 2 was born 999 in Tillieres, Eure, France. She married Gilbert CRISPIN on 1021 in Tillieres, Eure, France.
