Doug reports his follow-up research: "I believe I first became aware of the actual charters as published by Vera London.  I used to order a good many books by interlibrary loan, especially anything with charters.  Afterwards I saw Mr. Evans' note attempting to identify Countess Ida as a Countess Ida of the continental Europe.  I believe I am the first person to consider Roger Bigod's wife, Ida, as the Countess Ida who was William Longespee's mother.  I went through all the lists of English earls in Complete Peerage until I found one with a wife Ida in the right time period.  In fact, I may have known of Earl Roger's wife Ida before I saw Charles Evans' note.  I don't recall the exact chain of events.  I never seriously considered Mr. Evans' identification of Countess Ida.  As such, I am reasonbly certain I already had Roger Bigod's wife in mind when I found Evans' published note.</blockquote>
