      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      "ISABEL DE WARENNE, Countess of Surrey, daughter and heiress. She married (1st) WILLIAM OF ENGLAND, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and, in right of his wife, 4th Earl of Surrey, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir of Stephen, King of England, by Maud, daughter and heiress of Eustace, Count of Boulogne [see BRABANT 3 for his ancestry]. He was born between 1132-7. They had no issue. He became Count of Boulogne and Mortain on the death of his older brother, Eustache, in August 1153. He was knighted by King Henry II at Carlisle in 1158. At an unknown date, he confirmed the previous gift of his father, King Stephen, to the nuns of Ste.-Marie of Mortain. He died on the Toulouse expedition in October 1159, and was buried in the hospital of Montmorillon in Poitou. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) in 1164 (probably in April) HAMELIN, vicomte of Touraine, and, in right of his wife, 5th Earl of Surrey, Advocate of St. Berlin, illegitimate son of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy [see ENGLAND 3]. He was half-brother to Henry II, King of England. They had one son, William [6th Earl of Surrey], and three daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1164, and joined in the denunciation of Archbishop Thomas as a traitor. In 1173 he supported King Henry II against his sons. In 1176 he was one of the nobles who escorted Joan, daughter of King Henry II, for her marriage to the King of Sicily. In the period, 1178-1202, Robert de Pormort sold to Hamelin, Earl of Surrey all the fee which the said Robert,held of the earl, in Louveautuit in Normandy for 65 marks and 25 l. of Anjou. He was present at the first coronation of King Richard I in 1189. In the king's absence, he supported the chancellor against the intrigues of the king's brother, John [later King John]. In 1193 he was one of the treasurers for the ransom of King Richard I. At King Richard I's second coronation in 1194, he bore one of the three swords. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 he was granted a weekly market at Conisborourgh, Yorkshire. In 1201 strife arose between Hugh, Abbot of Cluny and Hamelin, Earl Warenne concerning the appointment and institution of the Prior of Lewes; the matter was settled by the mediation of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eustace, Bishop of Ely, and Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Justiciar of England. In 1202 he granted the advowson of the church of Leigh, Surrey to the Priory of St. Mary Overy, Southwark. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey (or Warenne), died 7 May 1202. In 1202-3 his widow, Isabel, granted a virgate of land to Richard son of Robert, of Combe. She was living April 1203, but probably died soon afterwards, possibly 12 July 1203. They were buried in the chapter-house at Lewes.

      Children of Hamelin, by Isabel de Warenne:
      i. WILLIAM DE WARENNE, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey [see next].
      ii. MAUD DE WARENNE, married (1st) HENRI (or HENRY) OF EU, 6th Count of Eu [see EU 6]; (2nd) HENRY DE STUTEVILLE, of Barton (in Fabis) and Bradmore, Nottinghamshire, seigneur of Valmont and Rames in Normandy [see EU 6].
      iii. ELA DE WARENNE, married (1st) ROBERT DE NEWBURGH [see FITZWILLIAM 8]; (2nd) WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, of Sprotborough, Yorkshire [see FITZ WILLIAM 8].
      iv. ISABEL DE WARENNE. She married (1st) ROBERT DE LACY (or LACI, LASCI), of Pontefract, Yorkshire, son and heir of Henry de Lacy. They had no issue. He attended the Coronation of Richard I in 1189. He confirmed his father's gift in Snydale (in Normanton), Yorkshire to Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, and added three carucates of land in this vill. He also gave the vill of Rishton (or Rushton), Lancashire to the same abbey. At an unknown date, he gave Accrington, Lancashire to Kirkstall Abbey, in compensation for the loss of Cliviger, Lancashire. He was also a benefactor of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. ROBERT DE LACY died 21 August 1193, and was buried at Kirkstall Abbey. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 1196 GILBERT DE L'AIGLE, of Pevensey, Sussex, Greywell, Hampshire, Westcote (in Dorking) and Witley, Surrey, etc., seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, son and heir of Richer III de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, by his wife, Odeline (or Edeline). They had three sons, Gilbert, Richer, and William, and one daughter, Alice (wife of John de Lacy, Knt., Constable of Chester, 1st Earl of Lincoln). He went to Normandy shortly before 1200. In Michaelmas term 1200 his wife, Isabel, complained before the justices of the bench that Roger, Constable of Chester, had disseised her of dower given her by her former husband, Robert de Lacy. Gilbert's lands were seized in 1204 because of his opposition to King John. In 1207 William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, gave 3000 marks to have custody of his lands for the use of his sister, Gilbert's wife. In 1208 he had a partial restitution of his lands, but appears to have fallen off again. In 1216 the king sent him a message, urging him to return to fealty, and offering to restore all his lands if he did so. In April 1226 he had license to pass to and from Normandy. In Sept. 1226 his English lands were taken into the king's hands, possibly as a pledge for his loyalty to King Henry III. His lands were restored the following spring on payment of a fine of 500 marks. His wife, Isabel, was a legatee in the 1228 will of Richard de Elmham, Canon of St. Martin le Grant, London, who bequeathed her a box for sacred ceremonial objects. In 1229 he founded the Priory of the Holy Trinity at Michelharn, Sussex. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his expedition to France. The same year Juliane de Pevensey arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert de l'Aigle regarding a tenement in Hailsham, Sussex; in 1232 Juliane was amerced 10s. for a false claim. Gilbert was a benefactor of Chaise-Dieu Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Priory, and also confirmed the gifts of his predecessors to Trappe Abbey. GILBERT DE L'AIGLE died shortly before 19 Dec. 1231. On 16 Jan. 1232 his widow, Isabel, was assigned dower out of Gilbert's lands in Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire. At an unknown date, his wife, Isabel, received one-third of the manor of Northease (in Rodmell), Sussex from her brother, William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, in exchange for lands in Yorkshire. She gave this one third interest in frank almoin to Michelham Priory. Isabel died without surviving legitimate issue shortly before 30 Nov. 1234. In Dec. 1234 the king granted all the lands late of Gilbert de l'Aigle, with the advowsons of churches, services of knights, and free men to Gilbert Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. Hasted Hist. & Top.

      Child of Isabel de Warenne, by Gilbert de l'Aigle:
      a. ALICE DE L'AIGLE, married JOHN DE LACY, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 3].
      v. ___ DE WARENNE (daughter), mistress of John, King of England [see ENGLAND 5].* Child of ___ de Warenne, by John, King of England:
      a. RICHARD FITZ ROY (otherwise DE WARENNE, also styled DE CHILHAM), of Chilhatn, Kent, married ROSE DE DOVER [see ATHOLL 9].
      * The mother of King John's illegitimate son, Richard Fitz Roy, is identified by the 13th Century chronicler, Robert of Gloucester, as the "erles doughter of wareine" [that is, the daughter of the Earl of Warenne]. Contemporary records lend support for this parentage, as Richard Fitz Roy was styled as an adult as "Richard de Warenne" [see, for example, Curia Regis Rolls 16 (1979): 232 ("Ricardus de Warenn' filius regis Johannis"), 450 ("Ricardus de Warein"); Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 2 (1844): 523]. Richard Fitz Roy also used the surname Warenne on his personal seal [see Birch Cat. Seals in the British Museum 3 (1894): 640]. Richard Fitz Roy's maternal grandfather, Hamelin, Earl of Warenne, had three known daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel, conceivably any one of whom could have been Richard's mother. Richard Fitz Roy, however, occurs in two contemporary records listed side by side Isabel's 2nd husband, Gilbert de l'Aigle [see C.P.R. 1216-1225 (1901), page 70; C.P.R. 1225-1232 (1903): 357-362]. Richard also had a daughter named Isabel, but none named Maud or Ela. These pieces of evidence may be considered a good indication but not conclusive evidence that Richard Fitz Roy was the son of Isabel de Warenne."

      2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “MAUD OF ENGLAND, sometimes styled "Lady of the English" (rarely "Queen of the English"), daughter and heiress, born at London about 8 Feb. 1102 (8 years old in 1110). She married (1st) at Mainz 7 January 1114 HEINRICH (or HENRY) V, Holy Roman Emperor, son of Heinrich IV, Holy Roman Emperor, by Bertha, daughter of Otto, Count of Savoy. They had no issue. HEINRICH V died at Utrecht 23 May 1125. Maud was declared heir presumptive to her father in 1126. She married (2nd) Le Mans, Maine 17 June 1128 GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, (nicknamed le Bel), Count of Anjou and Maine, Knt., son and heir of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, by his 1st wife, Eremburge, daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine. He was born 24 August 1113. They had three sons, Henry (II) [King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou], Geoffrey [Count of Anjou and Nantes], and William Longespée. By an unknown mistress (or mistresses), Geoffrey also had one illegitimate son, Hamelin [5th Earl of Surrey], and two illegitimate daughters, Emma and Mary [Abbess of Shaftesbury]. On her father, King Henry I's death in 1135, she at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance. The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin, Stephen, for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit. The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrières, Gorron, and Châtilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife, Maud. In 1139 Maud landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen. In the civil war which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in Feb. 1141 and imprisoned at Bristol. A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Maud "Lady of the English." Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation. During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 Jan. 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen. He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in summer 1144. In 1144 he founded an Augustine priory at Château-l'Ermitage in Anjou. Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Maud conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year. GEOFFREY, Count of Anjou and Maine, died at Château-du-Loir 7 Sept. 1151, and was buried in St. Julien's, Le Mans, Maine. In 1153 the Treaty of Westminster allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Maud's son, Henry, should succeed him. MAUD, late Empress of Almain, died at Rouen, Normandy 10 Sept. 1167, and was buried at Bec Abbey, Normandy. At her death, her wealth was distributed to the poor, and to various hospitals, churches, and monasteries.

He was knighted by Thibaut, Count of Blois, in 1150. In 1158 he gave the nuns of St. Mary of Mortain 40 shillings of Anjou annually from his manor of Ste. Mère Eglise [Manche]. In the period, 1159-63, he sought to marry Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Surrey [see WARENNE 7], widow of his cousin, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain (son of King Stephen of England). The marriage was opposed by Archbishop Becket on grounds of affinity (he and her former husband being related in the 3rd degree of kindred). He was a benefactor of Walsingham Abbey.

      Illegitimate children of Geoffrey Plantagenet, by an unknown mistress (or mistresses),
      i. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey, married ISABEL DE WARENNE [see WARENNE 7].
      ii. EMMA [OF ANJOU],* married in summer 1174 DAFYDD AB OWAIN, Prince (or King) of North Wales, younger son of Owain Gwynedd, by Christina, daughter of Gronw ab Owain ab Edwin. They had two sons, Owain and Einion, and two daughters, Gwenhwyfar (or Wennour) (wife of Meurig ap Roger Powys) and Gwenllian (wife of Gruffiidd ap Cadwgon). In 1157 he took part in the ambush of Hawarden Woods. In 1170 he and his brother, Rhodri, attacked and killed their half-brother, Hywel ab Owain, in a battle near Pentraeth. In 1173 he attacked another half-brother, Maelgwn ab Owain, and drove him from Anglesey. In 1174 he ejected all his rivals, whereby he became ruler of the whole of Gwynedd. There are evidences on the Pipe Roll of 1176 of Emma, wife of Dafydd ab Owain, having visited her brother, King Henry II of England. In 1175 he was attacked by his brother, Rhodri, and driven into the eastern half of Gweynedd. In 1177 King Henry II bestowed the manors of Ellesmere, Shropshire and Halesowen, Worcestershire on his sister, Emma. Dafydd subsequently settled in the Middle Country, where he resided in a castle at Rhuddlan, Caemarvonshire. In 1187 Archbishop Baldwin lodged one night at Rhuddlan Castle to visit Dafydd's wife, Emma, the king's sister. About 1190-4 Dafydd and his wife, Emma, together with their son, Owain, gave Stockett in Ellesmere, Shropshire to Haughmond Abbey. In 1193 she restored the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to her nephew, King Richard I, in exchange for rents of other manors including Broom and Clent, Worcestershire. In 1194 Dafydd was defeated by his nephew, Llywelyn ap Iorwerth [see WALES 6], in a battle at Aberconwy. About 1196 he and his wife, Emma, at the request of their son, ()wain, gave the whole land of Cricket (in Ellesmere), together with pannage for 100 swine, to Haughmond Abbey. In 1197 Dafydd was imprisoned by Llywelyn ap Iorwerth. He was released in Jan. 1198 by the intervention of Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, and spent the rest of his life in England. In 1200 he and his wife, Emma, were sued in the king's court by Gerald and his wife, Margery, John Grefelne and his wife, Maud, and several other parties regarding one virgate and a half of land in Chatley (in Halesowen), Worcestershire. The same year King John ordered that Emma not be impleaded, except before the king himself, for any tenement which she held on that day that King Henry II gave her the manors of Ellesmere and Halesowen. In the assizes of October. 1203 [sic] Dafydd and his wife, Emma, were sued by Reynold de Thirn for disseising him of a tenement in Stockett and Kenewick (n Ellesmere), Shropshire, but the suit could not proceed as the property was then in the hands of the king. DAFYDD AB OWAIN, former Prince (or King) of North Wales, died in exile about May 1203, in which month King John ordered his justiciar to find an equivalent for Ellesmere, Shropshire for Emma, widow of Dafydd, as far as possible from the marches. His widow, Emma, was living in 1212, then holding Halesowen, Worcestershire. Sometime before her death, Emma conveyed three carucates of land and two mills in Chatley and Lapal (in Halesowen), Worcestershire to her granddaughter [“neptes"], Agnes, wife of Stephen de Chatley, in marriage. Emma presumably died c.1214, when her name last appears in the Pipe Rolls; in 1214 King John of England granted the manor of Halesowen, Worcestershire to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, for the purpose of building and endowing a religious house.

      Child of Emma, by Dafydd ab Owain:
      a. OWAIN AP DAFYDD, son and heir. In 1204 King John of England ordered that the Sheriff of Warwickshire value Robert de Harcourt's manor of Elmdon, Warwickshire, and to give 13 librates therein to Owain ap Dafydd, in exchange for Owain's land of Ellesmere, Shropshire. About 1204 Owain confirmed the premises of Stockett (in Ellesmere), Shropshire to hold to Haughmond Abbey under himself and his heirs. In 1205 the king assigned him 15 librates of land in Waltham, Lincolnshire.
