"He had succeeded his brother, Robert, by spring of 1141, when Empress Maud, at Winchester, gave him a charter for a market every Sunday at his castle of Beaudesert. He attested several charters of Roger, and one of William, Earls of Warwick, and also attested the agreement made at Devizes in 1153 between Henry, Duke of Normandy (later Henry II) and Ranulph, Earl of Chester. He held land in Rutland, as well as land under three tenants-in-chief, namely Beaudesert and Henley in Arden. After his brother's death, he confirmed the grant of Wing to Thorney Abbey for the souls of himself, his wife, and children, and "especially of his brother Robert", and made a gift to Guisborough for the soul of his brother Henry. He married Juliane, the daughter and coheir of Geoffrey Murdac."[1]
The Plantagenet Ancestry, by Turton, p. 88, has Thurstan as son of Adeline de Beaumont & Hugh de Montfort, son of Gilbert de Gant & Alice (Jeanne) de Montfort, daughter of Hugh de Montfort mentioned by Complete Peerage. There is partial support for this by Ancestral Roots (the Gilbert de Gant & Alice de Montfort marriage), as well as full support from Burke's Extinct Peerage. I find nothing in the Complete Peerage persuasive enough to say these other sources are wrong, except that the elder Thurstan was probably a son of Hugh by a first wife, earlier than Adeline de Beaumont.
