The time-spans between successive generations of the early members of the family appear to be unreliable.

37. [BAS1391] Basset/Bathel of Ouilly Basset (born c.870).

36. [BAS1401] Norman de Basset (born c.915).

35. [BAS1411] Osmond de Conteville (born c.960), Vicomte de Vernon, married --- (niece of [HERB316] Gunora, later wife of [NORM299] Richard I, Count of Normandy).

33. [BAS1431] Osmund Basset (born c.1042, son of Foulque d'Aulney).

32. [BAS1441] Ralph Basset (born c.1076, son of Osmund), held a fief at Montreuil-au-Houlme "apparently his birthplace", Chief Justiciar, died 1127, and was buried at Abendon [Abingdon], Berks.

29. [WALL451] Thurstan (born c.1100, son of Ralph), see WALLINGFORD (BASSET) BARONY) for full details.
26. [BASS451] Richard Basset (born c.1102, son of Ralph), Chief Justiciar, is described under DRAYTON (BASSET) BARONY.

31. [BAS1451] Gilbert Basset (born c.1095, son of Ralph), Justice of England, married 1. Cicely de Englefield; then 2. (1113) [OILL242] Edith (born c.1094, see OILLI).

30. [BAS1462] Joan Basset ([c.1115], daughter of Gilbert) married [MELL371] Aubrey II (see DAMMARTIN COUNTY).30

However, it seems strange that the daughter of a Norman family, by now established in England, would marry the Aubrey II, Grand Chambrier de France.
