Married: Miss de Conteville and/or Muriel de Conteville. Daughter of Harluin/Harlevin/Harlowen de Conteville and Harlette/Arlette de Falaise - the father-in-law and mother of William the Conqueror.
---
Children:
Mathieu de La Ferté Macé - Fought at the battle of Hastings under the William the Conqueror - died abt 1075 somewhere in Normandy fighting under the Conqueror.

---
Guillaume(William)I de La Ferté Macé - Baron of Ferté Macé
---
Hamon I De Mascy - 1st Baron of Massey and Lord of Description: Ascelie (Ashley Hall); Bogedone (Bowden) Church and Mill; Bramale (Bramhall); Doneham (Dunham Massey) Town; Hale, Hawk's Eyrie; Potitone (Puddington) Farm House and two Halls - supposed squire to one of his brothers at Hastings.
William de La Ferté Macé was the only French noble family holding land within Normandy (A Norse-occupied territory of France, of which William the Conqueror was Duke). The Barons of Massey were fair and well respected in England, but their ancestors in France were a brutal family respected more for their violent disposition than their titles.
Pedigree for William de La Ferté Macé (c. 1034-aft 1085), of which I can provide further info on request:

I hope this helps. Most of these folks have multiple variants for their name depending on whether they were recorded by an English, Norman or French Monk. Their names also changed based on titled lands: It was common to adopt the name of the manor or land you controlled as a 'surname'.
