• Web Reference:
Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands Guy de Craon. "The name Maurice by his grandson suggests a family relationship with the Seigneurs de Craon. It would be chronologically consistent if Guy was another son of Renaud de Nevers Seigneur de Craon. Domesday Book records "Guy de Craon" holding land in Stonesby, Waltham on the Wolds and Sproxton in Leicestershire; numerous properties in Lincolnshire [Domesday Translation, Leicestershire, XXIIII, p. 642, Lincolnshire, LVII, pp. 949-51]." Guy married Isabelle, daughter of Hugh Fitz Baldric.

Occ: vicomte de Sable seigneur de Sable, de jure uxoris seigneur de Craon before 26 Mar 1053
d. on First Crusade, aft 1098[7] his parentage as given is probable: Peter Stewart wrote, concerning this point and identification as probable by Constance Bouchard, ' W Scott Jessee is reasonably more certain on this point: he notes [in *A Missing Capetian Princess: Advisa Daughter of King Robert II of France*, Medieval Prosopography 11 (1990)] that both Guillaume of Nevers and Robert the Burgundian were described in charters as "nepos" to Robert II's son King Henri I. Robert was also called "nepos" to Guillaume's great-aunt Agnès, wife of Geoffroy II Martel, count of Anjou, when at the age of 16 he witnessed a charter of hers. A 13th-century writer, plausibly drawing on an older source for family details, named Robert as one of five brothers along with Guillaume (four of them are attested in other records).'[7]

Further, Peter Stewart noted that Ordericus Vitalis identified Ermengarde, daughter of William of Nevers, as niece (probably 'nepta') of Robert the Burgundian[7]
