1. ANSCHETIL d’Harcourt . Guillaume de Jumièges records that “Turulfo de Ponte-Audomari...filius...Torf” was the brother of “Turchetillus pater Anschetilli de Harecurt”[918].

m ---. The name of Anschetil’s wife is not known. The charter dated 13 Jan 1103, under which “Philippus de Braosa” confirmed agreement with the abbey of Fécamp witnessed by “ex parte Philippi, Robertus frater eius, Anchetilli filius...”[919], suggests that Anschetil’s widow may have married, as her second husband, Guillaume [I] de Briouse (-[11 Dec 1093/1095]). Anschetil & his wife had [three] children:

a) [ERRAND (-after 1078). La Roque does not quote any contemporary primary sources which name Errand. Père Anselme says that “Errand de Harcourt seigneur de Boeffey-le-Chatel” is called “seigneur, sire et baron de Harcourt” in “plusieurs histoires” [unspecified] which record that he took part in the Norman invasion of England in 1066[920]. Seigneur d’Harcourt.] [m as her first husband, EMMA d’Estouteville, daughter of ROBERT [I] d’Estouteville & his wife [Beatrix ---] (-bur Saint-Evroul[921]). La Roque states that “une généalogie de la maison d’Estouteville” names Errand’s wife as “Emme et la comprend entre ceux du sang...[de] Robert d’Estouteville”, suggesting that she was the same person who later married “Hugues de Grentesmesnil”[922]. The passage is somewhat garbled and in any case La Roque does not provide a citation reference to the source in question or quote it in his “Preuves”. It is suggested that, until further documentation comes to light, this supposed marriage of Errand should be treated with caution. She married secondly as his second wife, Robert de Grantmesnil. She is named as second wife of Robert de Grantmesnil by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her father[923].]

b) ROBERT d’Harcourt (-before 1118). Seigneur d’Harcourt, de Cailleville, de Beauficel et de Boissey-le-Châtel. Père Anselme says that Robert built the castle of Harcourt (undated)[924]. “Philippus de Braosa” confirmed agreement with the abbey of Fécamp by charter dated 13 Jan 1103 which names "Willielmus Philippi pater", and is witnessed by “ex parte Philippi, Robertus frater eius, Anchetilli filius...”[925]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1148). Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1148 under which [her son] “Willielmus de Harvecurt” donated “totam terram Stantunie” to Garendon abbey (Leicestershire), with the consent of “Yvonis fratris mei et Agnetis matris mee”[926]. Robert & his wife had [eight] children: …

c) [WILLIAM FitzAnschetil . A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of “unum molendinum juxta Bunebroc, Colegrim…et…in Beltona” by “Willielmus Aschetilli filius”[942].]
