Regarding William's wife Gundred's supposed descent from Matilda wife of William the Conqueror,
from http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rsduckett/duket/history/origins/gundrada.htm :

Medievalist Kathleen Much at Stanford told Tom Camfield (camfield@olympus.net) that this connection is bogus. Her arguments came down to the comment by David C. Douglas ("William the Conqueror," 1964, p. 392) that: "The view once held that Matilda was already married when William sought her hand, and was then the mother of a daughter, Gundrada, later the wife of William of Warenne, has now been conclusively disproved by the researches of Chester Waters and Sir Charles Clay. There is no reason to suppose that Gundrada was the daughter of either William or Matilda." She led into this conclusion with preliminary explanations referenced quite thoroughly; she specializes in Normandy.

See the full examination of these claims, and the disproof, by C. T. Clay, *Early Yorkshire Charters*, volume VIII, pp. 40-46. [2]
