They had two sons, William and Geoffrey. In 1201 Simon le Bret assigned one half of the manor of Little Abington, Cambridgeshire to him. WILLIAM DE LANVALLAY died shortly before Michaelmas 1204, when his widow, Hawise, had custody of Colchester Castle. In 1227 Christian de Mandeville, Countess of Essex granted all her lands in the vill of Westley (in Westley Waterless), Cambridgeshire, together with the advowson of the church, to Hawise and her son, Geoffrey de Lanvallay. Hawise died testate shortly before 19 July 1233, when her executors gave the king two palfreys so that the debt exacted from her by summons of the Exchequer be exacted thenceforth from the right heirs of her late husband, William de Lanvallay.

      Children of Hawise de Buckland, by William de Lanvallay:
      i. WILLIAM DE LANVALLAY [see next].
      ii. GEOFFREY DE LANVALLAY, of Westley (in Westley Waterless), Cambridgeshire, younger son. In 1223 the king granted him letters of protection, he then being in the king's service in Wales as a member of the household of his cousin, William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex. In 1227 Christian de Mandeville, Countess of Essex granted all her lands in the vill of Westley Westley Waterless), Cambridgeshire, together with the advowson of the church, to him and his mother, Hawise. In May 1227 the king ordered the Sheriff of Cambridgeshire to take the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire into the king's hand, which the said Geoffrey held in his bailiwick. At an unknown date, he granted half of the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire, together with his body for burial, to the monks of St. John Colchester. GEOFFREY DE LANVALLAY presumably died without issue, as the manor of Westley, Cambridgeshire subsequently fell to John de Burgh, the husband of his niece, Hawise de Lanvallay.

He was born about 1186 (of age in 1206-7). Her maritagium included the manor of Belchamp, Essex. They had three sons, Simon, Knt., William, Knt., and John, and four daughters, Joan (nun at Chicksands), Maud, Beatrice, and Ela. He married (1st) before 1207 GUNNOR DE LANVALLAY, daughter of William de Lanvallay, by Hawise, daughter of Hugh de Buckland. William and Gunnor had one son, John (dead before 1232). He took part in King John's expedition to Poitou in 1214. He joined the baronial host at Stamford in 1215, and entertained them at Bedford as they marched on London.
