Research Notes

Roger la Zouche was the son of William, but his father's parentage has yet to be confirmed. Recent online discussions believe that this William la Zouche may be an undocumented or illegitimate son of William la Zouche or his brother Eudes la Zouche, by an unknown first wife. ^{[3] [4]}

Roger la Zouche has also been conflated with another Roger, son of William.
