Biography
This is the biography of the wife of Roger de Pitres
Birth and Parents
Her name was Adeline. Nothing else is known of her.[1]
If her husband's bfirth is estimated as 1040, estimate hers as, say, 1045.
Marriage
Adeline married Roger de Pitres. [1]
Keats-Rohan shows him as a Norman, from Pîtres, Eure, cant. Pont-de-l'Arche. [1]
He was the brother of Duran, whom he had preceeded [sic] as sheriff of Gloucester. [1]
Birth Year Estimation: Assuming he was about 25 or 26 at the Norman Conquest would place his birth at, say, 1040.
Roger followed William the Conqueror to England in 1066. [2]
Carpenter notes that in a spurious confirmation for Gloucester Abbey, Walter's mother was named Adeliza (Adelaise); the calendar has "Alice wife of Roger de Pitres the sheriff." [3]
The Donations of the Gloucester abbey says that Adeliza gave fourteen lands as enumerated in her deed in 1125, at the time of Abbot William. [3]
He was dead by 1086. [1] Roger died before Domesday Book was compiled, and in 1086 his brother, Durand, was sheriff of Gloucestershire. [2]The letter by Gilbert Foliot, bishop of London, cited by Carpenter, states that Roger and his household had been buried in Gloucester Abbey. [3]
Issue
Roger and adeline had a son, Walter of Gloucester. [1]
At his death he left by his wife Adeline a son Walter of Gloucester. [1] Also known as Walter fitz Roger [3]
The office of Sheriff of Gloucestershire, with the office of castellan of Gloucester Castle, passed to Roger's son, Walter of Gloucester, perhaps c. 1097.[2]

As that wife seems to have no profile this profile could be recycled to become an Alice / Adelize?
