    Note: I have (unsourced) Hawise Deincourt as the unidentified woman who was his 1st wife.

    Note: Could his holding land in Devon finally in 1175-1176 possibly relate to his late (1172) marriage to Maud Fitz Edith or to the son Reginald's marriage to Hawise de Courcy, Heiress of Okehampton?

    Wikipedia

    William de Courcy was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and baron.

    William was the son of William de Courcy and his wife Emma de Falaise.[1] Through his mother, William inherited the barony of Stogursey in Somerset, as his mother was the sole heir of William de Falaise, the lord of Stogursey in Domesday Book.[2] William and Emma were also the parents of two other sons: Richard and Robert.[1]

    William married Avice, the daughter and coheir of William Meschin,[1] and Cecily de Rumilly.[2] The marriage took place around 1125.[1]

    William, along with his brother Robert, confirmed the gift of his father of the advowson of the church of Nuneham Courtenay in Oxfordshire to Abingdon Abbey.[3] This reconfirmation of his father's grant was recorded in the abbey's chronicle, the Historia Ecclesie Abbendonensis,[1] like the original grant had been. William then gave further lands to the abbey, including a meadow named "cow mead" and a pasture large enough for 300 sheep, 8 oxen and 10 cows.[3]

    William died before 1130.[1] William's widow married William Paynel, son of Fulk Paynel, as his second wife.[4] His heir was his son William de Courcy. Another son was Robert, who was steward to King Stephen of England.[5] But Marjorie Chibnall thinks this Robert is a cousin, from the Norman branch.[6]


    William married Matilda AVRANCHES, Heiress Of Okehampton. Matilda (daughter of Robert D'AVRANCHES and Baroness Hawise DE DOL) was born about 1115 in Okehampton, Devonshire, England; died on 21 Sep 1173 in Okehampton, Devon, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 7.  Matilda AVRANCHES, Heiress Of Okehampton was born about 1115 in Okehampton, Devonshire, England (daughter of Robert D'AVRANCHES and Baroness Hawise DE DOL); died on 21 Sep 1173 in Okehampton, Devon, England.

    ---------------------------

    Maud d'Avranches, the latter being heiress of Baldwin Fitz Gilbert's family, which had held the honour of Okehampton and the Shrievalty of Devon 1080-1142. [Burke's Peerage]

Maud m. 2ndly, Robert FitzEdith, natural son of King Henry I, and had another dau., Matilda, m. to William de Courtenay, brother of Sir Reginald. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, London, 1883, p. 140, Courtenay, Barons Courtenay, Earls of Devon]

    Note Burke's newest Peerage (1999 - not extinct) has a different story to tell. Maud (Matilda) married Reginald (Renaud) and Hawise married the son (also name Reginald or Renaud). No mention is made of who married Renaud I's brother William. Plus Maud de Abrincis is named "Maud D'Avranches". Plus Hawise is dau of de Coucy - not Deincourt. (note - Plantagenet ancestry also has Deincourt. I have Hawise Deincourt as Reginald, the father's 1st wife.). I am going with the newest Burke (1999).

    General Notes:

    ROBERT d'Avranches (-before 1142). He is shown as son of William FitzWimund in the Complete Peerage, and as avunculus of Fulk Paynell, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt de Abrinc" in Devonshire accounting to the king for his malevolence for his marriage to "filia Geldewini de Dol".

    m firstly HAWISE de Dol, daughter of GELDUIN de Dol & his wife Noga de Tinteniac. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Robt de Abrinc" in Devonshire accounting to the king for his malevolence for his marriage to "filia Geldewini de Dol". Domesday Descendants mentions that she is named Hawise in one of the charters of her husband "for the Mont".

    m secondly (after 1130) MATILDA Avenell, daughter of RANDULF Avenell & his wife Alice --- (-21 Sep 1173). The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Forde Abbey records that "domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua" had "unicam filiam?Matildam" who died. The Fundationis et Fundatorum Historia of Forde Abbey records that "domina Alicia uxor domini Randolphi Avenell filia sua?unicam filiam?Matildam"married "Roberto filio regis Henrici primi notho" after the death of her first husband "Roberto de Abrincis id est de Averinges", and died "IX Kal Oct 1173". As noted below, charter evidence indicates that the wife of Robert FitzEdith was Mathilde d?Avranches, daughter of Matilda Avenell, not Matilda Avenell herself. Matilda?s supposed second marriage, as reported in the Ford Abbey document, is therefore assumed to be incorrect.

    Robert & his second wife had four children: Hawise, Mathilde and two daughters. 1
