Biography
Historian David Crouch, in his ODNB biography for her husband, wrote:[1]
- Earl Reginald's wife appears as ‘M’ in a charter to Launceston of her daughter Mathilda. It may be that the Gesta Stephani is correct in reporting her fall into insanity in the 1140s; this would account for her near invisibility in Reginald's later career.
Keats Rohan (Domesday Descendants p.948 seems to be citing another Launceston charter (nr. 257), by her brother Robert fitz William, where he names his sister as Countess Mabilia, and Earl Reginald is first witness. As the charter is for her soul, she was perhaps dead. The charter is dated to 1155-1162, because Richard Earl of Devon (de Reviers) is second witness.

It seems we should consider changing both the first and second name here.
BTW here is the latest MEDLANDS text which also mentions doubts about the first name: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLISH%20NOBILITY%20MEDIEVAL1.htm#RenaudDunstanvilledied1175
Beatrice's maiden name was de Vaux or de Valle. There were children.
