Notes
ancestry.com
http://www.stirnet.com/HTML/genie/british/tt/tzmisc01.htm (and pages to which it 
leads) gives his wife as Hildebruge, dtr of Herve de Gallardon, by Beatrix.
Edmondson and others have suggested that Somery of Dudley sprang from Ascelin, 
called Gouel de Perceval, ancestor of the Lovels of Castle Cary, Somerset. [Complete 
Peerage XII/1:109]

--------------------

ASCELIN GOEL, son and heir. He took part in William the Conqueror's invasion of the 
French Vexin in July 1087 and destroyed the vineyards round Mantes. He built a 
strongly fortified castle at Breval. In 1089 he took the castle of Ivry by stratagem from 
William de Bréteuil and delivered it up to Duke Robert. William redeemed the castle 
from the Duke and deprived Ascelin of the provostship of Ivry. Thereafter Ascelin 
captured William, and rigorously imprisoned him at Breval until he obtained his freedom 
on the terms of a money payment, the cession of the castle of Ivry and the marriage of 
his daughter Isabel to Ascelin. In the following year William attempted to retake the 
castle, but was defeated by Ascelin, the abbey of Ivry being burnt in the conflict. 
William then. appealed to the King of France and the Duke of Normandy, who in, the 
spring of 1092, aided by a levée en masse of the surrounding population, besieged 
Ascelin at Breval. Ascelin was forced to capitulate and surrender the castle of Ivry, 
which was restored to William. On the death of William de Bréteuil in 1103, Ascelin 
took the part of William's nephew, Ralf de Grancei, against Eustace de Bréteuil, 
William's illegitimate son, in the struggle for the succession.

He married Isabel, illegitimate daughter of William de Bréteuil, son and heir [in 
Normandy] of William FITZOSBERN, 1st Earl of Hereford. He died between 1116 and 
1119. [Complete Peerage VIII:209-10, XIV:454, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
