  • Notes 
    • William was the first Earl of Arundel. "William is the first proven English supporter of the crusader Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem and before 1146 had granted them land at Wymondham and built a Leper Hospital near his castle in Norfolk.[5] His wife, Adeliza, was also a major benefactor to leper hospitals at Wilton, Wiltshire and Arundel[5] and his cousin, Roger de Mowbray and his family, were to become the most significant patrons of the Order's headquarters at Burton Lazars Hospital.[6][7] "Wikipedia"
