William fitzWimund

William fitzWimund was a Norman landholder in England after the Norman Conquest.

FitzWimund was from Avranches in Normandy, where he held land. In Domesday Book fitzWimund is recorded as holding land in Exeter as a tenant of Baldwin fitzGilbert.^[1]

FitzWimund married a daughter of his overlord, Baldwin FitzGilbert. She may possibly have been named Matilda, as she is given that name on a document dated in 1066 but that must date later than that, as the text of the document refers to Michael, Bishop of Avranches, who was bishop from 1069 to 1084.^[1]

FitzWimund donated to abbey at Mont-Saint-Michel.^[1]

FitzWimund probably died before 1130. His son, Robert d'Avranches, married Hadvise, daughter of Gelduin of Dol.^[1]^[2] A daughter married William Paynel, but her name is not known.^[3]
