CSPS, no. 35. Note that I am translating _filius_ as "Fitz," not as "son of," and that I shall continue to do so throughout this study except in those cases in which someone is identified as _A filiusB filii C_, which will be translated as "A, son of B Fitz C." By the mid-twelfth century, men were increasingly known by family names rather than by their father's names, and thus the name which follows the _filius_ is frequently _not_ the name of the man's father. There were, for example, eleven successive Fulk Fitz Warins, only the first of whom was actually the son of a man named Warin. In cases where the persons are clearly Welshmen, however, I will use the Welsh _ap_ rather than the English _Fitz. Cited by Jim Weber, Rootsweb.
