This entry title should be Eudo dapifer rather than Eudo Dapifer, as the existing title misleads. Eudo's office was that of dapifer (medieval Latin) or steward of a royal or aristocratic household. Foreign words are italicized. This is not his surname, as none of his descendants employed the word in that sense. [We know of other Anglo-Normans who did employ their ancestor's office as a surname over time.] DeAragon 11:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dearagon (talkcontribs)

You seem to be contradicting James Planché, erstwhile Somerset Herald. It would be useful if you could cite whence you derived your opinion. ThanksHarrypotter (talk) 02:27, 17 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

the supposed brother Ralph...

edit

This edit is still incorrect. Bates does NOT mention any brother named Ralph. Nor does Keats-Rohan in Domesday People. The source being inserted does not support the information given. --Ealdgyth (talk) 22:23, 21 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
