Biography
Titles of Ralph de Tony (Royal Ancestry):
- Seigneur of Conches and Toeni (now Tosny) France
- Lord of Flamstead in Hertfordshire
Eastham Manor
The monks of Worcester, according to Heming, had been despoiled of EASTHAM and 'Bufawuda' by Earl Hakon and his followers in the time of the Danish invasion.[1] In 1086 Ralph de Toeni held 3 hides at Eastham and Bastwood, which Eadric had previously held as two manors.[2] The overlordship passed with that of Elmley Lovett[3] to the Earls of Warwick, and became part of their honour of Elmley Castle, of which Eastham was held until 1698.[4]
In 1086 Eastham was held by Herbert under Ralph de Toeni.[5] Henry de Eastham appeared in 1199 in a suit concerning land at Eastham against Beatrice his sister and Robert her husband, and there is a reference to William de Eastham in the same year.[6]

The text looks a bit like it might originally have been copy pasted? I googled footnote 5 and hit this: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/worcs/vol4/pp265-272 (This is mentioned in the list of sources, but the use of exact text should be marked in a different way.)
He is one of the few proven companions of William the Conqueror known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.[2] Tradition says he gave up the role of standard bearer, his hereditary office, to Walter Giffard, in order to be able to fight closer to William, duke of Normandy.
Feud Raoul became embroiled in a feud with Guillaume d'Evreux due to a disagreement between Guillaume's wife Helvise de Nevers and his wife, Isabel.[3] This came to open war in 1091–92, when Guillaume attacked Conches. A settlement was reached.[4] They later co-operated in attacking Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester's county of Meulan.
Raoul had widely spread holdings, his seat was at Flamstead in Hertfordshire, while he held lands in western Gloucestershire.He was granted Clifford Castle,[5] and it is also believed that he held assets in the village of Hose, Leicestershire, which was split into two manors, Tosny's and that of the title holder of the Norman Belvoir Castle.
