Reginald de Warren, who marrying Alice, daughter and heir of William de Wirmgay, became Lord Wirmgay, in Norfolk. He founded the priory of Wirmgay, and left a daughter, Alice, wife of Reginald de Dunstavil, and a son, William. Watson, in his "History of the House of Warren", corroborated by Camden and Ormerod, makes this Reginald to have married Aldelia de Mowbray, and to have had a son, William, from whom he deduced the family of Warren, of Poynton, co. Chester.

RALPH (-after [1130]).

William de Garenne donated property to St Faith, Longueville by charter dated to [1130], witnessed by "Ysabel comitissa uxor comitis et Willelmo et Radulfo filii eorum"[1003], which suggests that Ralph must have been his parents' second son.

Source <Landscapes of Monastic Foundation: The Establishment of Religious Houses in ...> Par Tim Pestell: "... The foundation of Wormegay has recently been redated by Nicholas Vincent to 1166x1175. demonstrating that the priory was established by Reginald de Warenne, the third son of Earl William II and younger brother of Earl William III. Reginald was employed by the third earl to administer the latter's Norfolk estates and later the whole family Honour when William left on crusade in 1147. By his marriage in 1166 to Alice de Wormegay, daughter of William de Wormegay, Reginald became a tenant-in-chief in his own right, of the Barony of Wormegay.77 As a scion of the Warenne line, Reginald's new priory makes perfect sense, showing himself as the 'founder' of a new Warenne line, centred on Wormegay. Once again, this foundation was one component of wider developments at the caput, including a castle, also possibly attributable to Reginald,78 and a deerpark forming elements of an elite landscape. However, the strength of the central caput and family ties still bound; not only was Reginald buried at Lewes Priory but he became a monk there in the year preceding Michaelmas 1179. ..."
