  There is confusion as to William's identity. We follow TCP (Devon) which identifies him as of Hook & Southwick with them being parents of Humphrey, Earl of Devon. However, BE1883 (FitzPayne) and BP1934 (Arundel) identify him as 'of Frome', BE1883 showing them as having "an only child" who was Humphrey, Earl of Devon. This contradicts those who say that William of Frome and Catherine were parents of Margaret who married Sir George Vere.
