Keats-Rohan says of him:

Filius Germundi, Radulph
"Held two fees of Ralph Alselin and half a fee of Robert of Cauz in 1166. In the Darley cartulary (BL Cotton Titus cix, fol. 65) Alexander Hanselin confirmed a grant by Hawise widow of Ralph fitz Geremund. His daughter Margery was the first wife of Serlo de Grendone, by whom she was the mother of three daughters and five sons according to a history of Dale abbey (Mon. Ang. vi. 2, p. 894), where Ralph had established a hermitage at the site of the later abbey. His heir was his son William fitz Ralph, sheriff of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire from 1168 to 1180 and seneschal of Normandy from 1178 until his death in 1200. William's heirs at his death were his three daughters, of whom the eldest, Edelina, was wife of Hubert fitz Ralph of Crick (d. 1225)."
