Born about 1064,[dubious ā discuss] he was the son of Guillaume d'Arques and nephew of Geofrey Tison. He died about 1115 in Thorp Arch, England.
He was a prominent landowner mentioned in the Domesday Book,[4] and seems to have given testimony in the Domesday account himself.[5]
He held lands as Tenant-in-chief in Redbourne, Scawby and Sturton, all in Lincolnshire,[6] Askham,[7] Hebden, North Yorkshire, and Craven. He also appears to have had business dealings with William Malet, his successor[verification needed] as High Sheriff.[8]
