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:
“I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“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)
