Ancestral File notwithstanding, he was probably not the son of Robert de Beaumont and Petronille de Grentmesnil. He may have been the son of Richard de Beaumont and Luc d'Aigle[1].

Alternately, this could represent an error for the name of Robert de Beaumont and Petronille de Grentmesnil's son Roger. Cawley notes:

'A history of the foundation of St Mary´s abbey, Leicester names “Robertum...Willielmum leprosum, secundum...et Galfridum” as the three sons of “Robertus” and his wife “Petronillam filiam Hugonis de Grantmenyl”, adding that Geoffrey was “episcopum sancti Andreæ in Scotia” '

but that other sources name this same bishop as Roger de Beaumont[2].
