Abt 1107 - Aft 1167  (> 61 years)

• Name	FITZRICHARD Bertha
  Birth	Abt 1107	Bronllys Castle, Breconshire, Wales
  Gender	Female
  Death	Aft 1167	Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, England
  Notes	Bertha was the daughter of Richard FitzPons and Matilda/Maud FitzWalter. She married Elias Giffard, probably in about 1127 when her father granted her mother the manor of Leach, Gloucestershire in exchange for the manor of Ullingswick, Herefordshire, which he had given to Elias as part of the arrangements ("in matrimonium") for Bertha's marriage.[1] She died in her husband's lifetime: he made a gift to the church of Boyton, Wiltshire for her soul.[2] Research Notes In a 1921 article on the Giffards, G Andrews Moriarty calls her Bertha de Clifford, with no sourcing.[2] This is a mistake.
