Biography

Birth

She was born 1143 ^{[citation needed]}

Parentage

Christiana was the daughter of William FitzAlan and his wife Christiana. ^[1]

Christiana's parentage and marriage are confirmed by reading several documents together:

1. firstly, under a charter dated [3 Mar/24 Jun] 1170, Henry II King of England authorised deduction from the FitzAlan estates of revenue from the manor of Badminton "which the king had assigned as the marriage portion of William fitz Alan’s daughter";
2. secondly, Hugh Pantulf donated his rights in the church of Badminton to Lilleshall abbey by charter dated to [1215/18];
3. thirdly, Hugh Pantulf names his wife "Christiana" in a donation to Shrewsbury abbey[71]. ^[2][1]

It is assumed that Christiana was William’s daughter by his first marriage because of her name, but this is not beyond all doubt. ^[2]

Christiana married (before [3 Mar/24 Jun] 1170) Hugh Pantulf of Wem, son of Ivo Pantulf & his [first wife ---] ^[2]

Hugh Pantulf died before 28 Dec 1224. ^[1]
