Notes:

Maud d'Avranches, lady of Oakhampton, and of du Sap in Normandy, daughter and heir of Robert d'Avranches, lord of Oakhampton, co. Devon. [Ancestral Roots]

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

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 de Abrincis m. 1st, --- Deincourt, by whom she had a dau., Hawise, m. to Sir Reginald de Courtenay. 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

Robert married Hawise de Dol. -no known issue

Robert next married Mathilde Avenell, daughter of Randulf Avenell and Alice, after 1130.1 (Mathilde Avenell died on 21 Sep 1173 1.)
