“REYNOLD DE COURTENAY, in right of his wife, of Okehampton, Alphington, Kenn, Musbury, Wimple, and Winkleigh, Devon, younger son by his father's 1st marriage, born about 1150. He married after 1173 and before 1178 HAWISE DE COURCY, daughter and heiress of William de Courcy (or ?Geoffrey de Crimes?), by Maud, daughter of Robert d'Avranches. She was born before 1162, and was the older half-sister of his father's 2nd wife, Maud Fitz Robert. They had three sons, Robert, Knt., Reynold, Knt., and Henry. In 1178 he and his wife, Hawise, were granted license to have a free chapel at Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, he witnessed a charter of his brother, Robert de Courtenay. REYNOLD DE COURTENAY died 27 Sept. 1194, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. In 1199 she fined for 300 marks for the lands of her mother, which included 40 librates in England and just as many in Normandy. In 1201 she owed 40 marks and one palfrey for 18 knights' fees. The same year she paid 40 marks for permission to cross the seas. In 1205 she owed 500 pounds and five palfreys to have livery of the honour of Oakhampton, Devon. At an unknown date, she confirmed to Christchurch Priory the land of Wicha in the manor of Chulmleigh, Devon, which land her predecessor, Richard Fitz Baldwin, previously gave to William Martel. Sometime during her widowhood, she granted the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon to Henry de Courtenay. At an unknown date, she gave Ford Abbey the whole land of Haregrave, Devon in frankalmoin for maintaining three poor persons in the infirmary of the said house. Hawise died 31 July 1219, and was buried at Ford Abbey, Dorset. On 14 August 1219 the king ordered the Sheriff of Devon to take into the king's hand all lands and tenements in his bailiwick formerly of Hawise de Courtenay, and keep them safely until the king orders otherwise. The same year her sister, Maud de Courtenay, brought a lawsuit against her, but the action was stayed due to Hawise's death.
