      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “JOHN DE NEVILLE, Knt., of Little Hallingbury, Essex, Stogursey, Somerset, South Stoke, Sussex, West Harnham, Wiltshire, etc., Chief Forester and Justice of the King's Forest throughout England, son and heir. He married in 1230 HAWISE DE COURTENAY, daughter of Robert de Courtenay, Knt., Okehampton, Kenn, Musbury, and Sampford Courtenay, Devon, Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, Iwerne, Dorset, etc., by Mary, daughter of William de Vernon, Knt., 5th Earl of Devon [see COURTENAY 3 for her ancestry]. Her maritagium included eleven librates of land in Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire and 24 librates of land and the advowson of the church in Alphington, Devon. They had two sons, Hugh, Knt., and John, and one daughter, Joan. In 1231 he sued William, Prior of Cowick, regarding the advowson of the church of Alphington, Devon. In 1234, before his father's death, he fined to have the bailiwick of the King's Forest in Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, and Huntingdonshire for life; after his father's death, he did homage 21 July 1234. He was appointed Chief Forester and Justice of the whole of the King's Forest through England 21 October 1235. Sometime in the period, 1234-46, he confirmed the grants of his father and ancestors to the monks of Stogursey. In 1240 he sailed with Richard, Earl of Cornwall, for Palestine. After his return to England, he was so rapacious and oppressive in the execution of his office as Forester that he escaped prison only by payment of a very heavy fine. He retired in disgrace to Wethersfield, Essex. SIR JOHN DE NEVILLE died at Wethersfield, Essex shortly before 8 June 1246, and was buried at Waltham Abbey, Essex. His widow, Hawise, married (2nd) before Easter 1254 (date of fine) JOHN DE GATESDEN, Knt., of Broadwater, Barcombe, Didling, Dumpford, Elsted, and Trotton, Sussex, Stockholt (in Akeley), Buckinghamshire, Eling and Lasham, Hampshire, Compton, Surrey, etc. They had one daughter, Margaret (or Margery). Sometime before 1262 he granted the Dean and Chapter of Chichester one acre of land in Didling, Sussex. SIR JOHN DE GATESDEN died shortly before 17 October 1262. In 1264 his widow, Hawise, was given two deer as a gift of the king. Sometime in the period, 1265-9, she and her daughter, Joan, witnessed an alleged miracle in Sussex, which was accredited to the late Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester. Hawise was a benefactress of Beeleigh (Maldon) Abbey, and founded a chantry at the Priory of Mottenden in Headcorn, Kent. She died shortly before 8 April 1269.
