Marriage & Progeny
William married Adelina of Lancaster, who bore him a daughter Adeliza (or Adelaide) (b.1075), and a son, William Peverel the Younger, born circa 1080, following the death of whose first wife married secondly Avice de Lancaster, daughter of Roger of Poitou, Earl of Lancaster.
It is believed that William did not marry Avice de Lancaster; she seems to have married his son by Adelina, William II the Younger Peverell.

Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or progeny:
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
