    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).

    Notes:

    "Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families," Douglas Richardson (2013):
    "ROBERT DE COURTENAY, Knt., of Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, lwerne, Dorset, etc., Sheriff of Devonshire, 1215, 1218, Justice for Berkshire and Wiltshire, 1235, son and heir.
    He was heir in 1209 to his uncle, Robert de Courtenay.

    He married in 1210-11 (grant of her marriage) MARY DE VERNON, widow of Peter de Preaux, Knt., of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen (living 1209), and daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon, by Mabel, daughter of Robert II, Count of Meulan [see VERMANDOIS 8 for her ancestry].
    Her maritagium included lands in Crewkerne, Somerset, with the foreign hundred and the chace there.
    They had three sons,
    John, Knt.,
    William, Knt., and
    Robert [Dean of Auckland],
    and two daughters,
    Egeline and
    Hawise.
    In 1209 he paid a fine to the king of 400 marks and two great horses to have seisin of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire. In 1211 he owed 1,200 marks to have the honour of Oakhampton, Devon, which had been in the king's hands. In 1217 he was ordered by the king to release Exeter Castle and the stannaries and coinage of Devon to the queen mother. In 1214 he sued Roger Chike and two others regarding lands in Sutton, Berkshire. In April 1218 he offered 5 marks to have a jury concerning the hundred of Redlane which he said was his and pertains to his manor of Iweme, which hundred, and the hundred of Gillingham, were withdrawn from him and his ancestors. In July 1218 the king committed custody of the manor of Sutton, Berkshire to John of Wiggonholt for as long as it pleases the king, so that he answer for the issues of the same manor to Stephen de Croy, merchant of Amiens, for the debt which Robert de Courtenay owed him. In 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon that he cause Robert de Courtenay to have full seisin of all lands and appurtenances in Devonshire formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, his mother, which fell to the said Robert by inheritance. In 1220 he was granted a two day fair at his manor of Okehampton, Devon. In 1220 John de Saint Helen sued him regarding half a hide of land in Sutton, Berkshire. The same year Maud de Courtenay (his aunt and step-grandmother) sued him regarding the manors of Oakhampton, Chulmleigh, Kenn, and Musbury, and Sampford, Devon and Hemington, Somerset, which she claimed as her right. In 1224 he made fine with the king to render ?30 to him annually at the Exchequer of the ?190 8s. 7d. due from him to the king; he was allowed such costs he incurred, by order of the king and the same justiciar, to fill a breach in the wall of Exeter castle. In 1227 the king committed the manor of Sedborough (in Parkham), Devon with its appurtenances to his wife, Mary. In 1230 he was overseas in the service of the king. In the period, 1230-2, he settled a long standing dispute with Abingdon Abbey regarding digging turves from the manor of Culham for the repair of Sutton mill, Berkshire.

    SIR ROBERT DE COURTENAY died at Iweme, Dorset about 27 July 1242, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset.
    His widow, Mary, was living 15 July 1250.

    [*Mary de Vernon married (1st) in 1201 (date of charter) (betrothal dated early 1200) Peter de Preaux, Knt., of Alton, Hampshire, Sudbury (in West Ham), Essex, etc., lord of the Channel Islands, Constable of Rouen, younger son of Osbert de Preaux, of Normandy. They had no issue. He accompanied King Richard I on crusade in 1190. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Acre in 1192. In the period, 1194-9, he served King Richard I throughout his wars against Philip II of France. In 1203 he was in charge of the escheats of Normandy and the Jews, except for the Jews of Rouen and Caen. The same year he was granted all the land which Peter de Meulan (his Wife's uncle) held at Sens, Normandy. In 1204, in agreement with the leading men of the city, he surrendered Rouen to King Philippe Auguste of France. He was living in 1209.]
