From Proceedings of the Suffork Institute of Archćology, Statisitcs and Natural Histroy, p. 329, Pedigree of the family of de Vaoines. The same pedigree can be found in An Analysis of the Domesday Book of the County of Norfolk, p. 48, but this second source gives Peter's wife to be Albreda, daughter or sister of Eudo de Rey, Dapifer to Henry I; and Roger de Valoines wife to be Agnes.

• Background Information. 1352
Peter de Valoins (to whom the Conqueror granted the lordship of Dersingham) was a great baron of the realm; besides the lordships that he held in this Norfolk, at the survey, he held also 12 lordships in Essex, one in Cambridgeshire, and one in Lincolnshire, 17 in Hertfordshire, and six in Suffolk, the head of his honour, or barony, being at Orford. Peter married Albreda, sister to Eudo de Bric, dapifer to King Henry I. and founded at his manor of Binham in Norfolk a priory, as a cell to St. Alban's in Hertfordshire, and gave two parts of his tithes here, with lands thereto.

Roger de Valoines was his son and heir, and about this time, William de Rudham appears to have held it of this family. Roger had by Agnes his wife, Peter, Robert, Geffrey, John, &c. Peter the eldest, married Gundreda de Warren, (probably of the family of the Earls Warren and Surrey) but dying without issue was succeeded by Robert his brother.

John de Valoins succeeded his brother Robert in this barony, as heir male, and by Isabella his wife, daughter of Sir Robert de Creke, of North Creke, in Norfolk, had Robert his son and heir, who by Roesia, one of the sisters and coheirs of Sir William le Blund, (who was slain in the battle of Lewes in 48th of Henry III.) left Robert de Valoins his son, who took to wife Eve de Criketot, and was lord of Ixworth in Suffolk, as heir to Blund, and had issue two daughters and heirs; Roese, married to Sir Edmund de Pakenham, and Cecily to Robert de Ufford Earl of Suffolk: this lord Valoins died about the 20th of Edward I.
