Caution

This profile represents a modern hypothesis, but there is no record of her existence.

Agnes has not been found in the most reliable sources. She does not appear as a child in the best sources for her parents, and little documentation has been found for her marriage. There is some likelihood, therefore, that she was invented to give a more impressive lineage to her descendants.Day-1904 19:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Looks like she comes out of a confusion where an Agnes de Gant in a charter with William, interpreted in different ways. but probably a daughter (his heiress).
