• Web Reference: Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands.
Ellis says that "it is all but certain that (Ralph Paynel) was a younger son of the seigneur of Moûtiers-Hubert near Lisieux, and had been with his elder brother William at the battle of Hastings", adding that "William returned to Normandy" [Ellis, A. S. ´On the Landholders of Gloucestershire named in Domesday Book´, Maclean, Sir J. (ed.) Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archæological Society (Bristol, 1879-80), Vol. IV, p. 148.]. He appears to base this on the Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, which names "Paomiel [which Ellis transcribes as "Painals"] de Moustier-Hubert" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066 [Extrait de la Chronique de Normandie, RHGF XIII, p. 237], but he cites no source which names William. Ellis also states that William "died about 1087" but does not cite the primary source on which he bases this statement [Ellis ´Landholders of Gloucestershire´, p. 150]. According to Crawley's Medievil Lands, This William had to sons, William father of Fulk, the progenitor of the Paynell of Hamby, and Falk progenitor of the Paynell of Dudley Worcestershire.
