Rodulf II de Warenne

Rodulf II de Warenne

Rudolf II de Warenne, son of Rudolf I of Warenne, was a Norman aristocrat and progenitor of the Earl of Surrey family line.

He is known only from his subscriptions to two charters of his father for the Holy Trinity of Rouen. As his fathers lands near Rouen and in the Pays de Caux did not pass to his son William or William's descendants, it is likely that Rodulf succeeded to them on his father's death.

The Family of Warenne originated from near Normandy, France.The de Warenne surname derives from the castle of that name on the River Varenne, which flows through the territory William acquired in Upper Normandy.
