Dominus OTHO

Notes:

Name:
He is supposed to have been a member of the family of Gherardini of Florence, Italy; and this is seemingly confirmed by the Latin form of the name, "Geraldini," assumed by the descendants; in any event he was a nobleman and came from Florence. This noble passed over into Normandy and thence into England, in 1057, where he became so great a favorite of King Edward, the Confessor, that he excited the jealousy of the Saxon thanes.

His English possessions were enormous and at his death they devolved upon his son, Walter Fitz Otho.
