Hawise FitzWarin, lady of Wem

from fmgMedlands

FULK FitzWarin [II], son of FULK FitzWarin [I] & his wife --- (-[1195/98]). The Pipe Roll records the manor of Alveston to "Fulko son of Fulko fitz Warin" in Michaelmas 1171[270]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Fulco filio Garini" paying "x s, i militem" in Warwickshire, Leicestershire[271]. The 1194/95 Pipe Roll records "Fulcho f Warini et Hawisa uxor eius" in Wiltshire[272]. m ([1155/65] or later) HAWISE de Dinan, daughter and co-heiress of JOSCELIN de Dinan & his wife Sibylla de Lacy ([1140/50]-1226 or after). The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Hawyse de Dynan" exchanged property donated by her father, that “Jozo de Plukenya" confirmed the donation of "Jazonis avi sui", that "Hugo de Plukenya" confirmed the donation of "Jazonis de Dynan" and donated further property, and that "Jozo de Plukeneya filius Hugonis" confirmed the foregoing[273]. Hawise’s suggested date of birth is estimated from the first marriage before 1125 of her mother, who was then presumably already of child-bearing age, and her mother’s second marriage after 1138. If this estimate is correct, it is likely that Hawise was married [1155/65], although the first marriage of her son Fulk FitzWarin [III] in 1207 suggests the later part of this date range and even an extended period after her marriage before Fulk [III] was born. Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by two lawsuits recorded in 1194 in which, in the first, "Hawisia de Dinat…Fulkon fil Warin" and "--- Sibill de Dinat uxore" are named, and in the second "Fulko fil Warin…Hawiss uxor sue" and "Sibill uxor Hug de Plugenai"[274]. The 1194/95 Pipe Roll records "Fulcho f Warini et Hawisa uxor eius" in Wiltshire[275]. "Hawis de Dinan et Sibill soror eius" paid a fine for "de Bokeland, Corfton in Sumerset et de Hertilande in Devon…vs Oliverum de Dinan", dated 1204[276]. Fulk [II] & his wife had [eight] children: 1. FULK FitzWarin [III] (-[13 Aug 1257/5 Aug 1258]). The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin names "Fouke, Willam, Phelip le Rous, Johan e Alayn" as the five sons of "Fouke e Hauwyse"[277]. The likely birth date of his mother, the date of his own first marriage, and the limited date range within which Fulk FitzWarin [III] died, suggests that he was born several years after his parents’ marriage. "…Fulcus filius Warini et Alanus frater eius…" subscribed a charter dated to [1198] under which "Robertus Corbet" donated property to Buildwas Abbey[278]. The 1201 Pipe Roll names "Sibil, widow of Hugh de Plugenai and Hawise, mother of Fulk Fitz Warin" as co-parceners in Lamborn, Berkshire[279]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Fulco filius Warini" holding one knight’s fee in Shropshire in [1210/12][280]. The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Gloucestershire, dated to [1211/13]: "Fulco filius Warini" held land "in Alwesten i militis"[281]. The king ordered the sheriff of Berkshire to "take into the king’s hands" the lands of "Fulk fitz Warin and Eva de Tracy and her sister on account of the son and heir of Thomas de London, who they detain from the king", dated to [1218/19][282]. A charter of Henry III King of England dated 12 Dec 1234 confirmed the foundation of Alberbury priory, Shropshire by "Fulconis filii Warini"[283]. By order dated 13 Nov 1251 the king confirmed rights of "Fulconi filio Warini seniori" in "foresta de Dene"[284]. “Fulco fil Warini et Claric ux eius” made a fine relating to a lawsuit in Kent in [Oct] 1250[285]. His son Fulk FitzWarin [IV] was named "Fulk son of Warin the younger" in an order dated 13 Aug 1257[286], suggesting that Fulk FitzWarin [III] was still alive at that date. The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin records the death "a Blaunchevyle" of Fulk, after seven years of blindness, and his burial "a la Novele Abbeye"[287]. It is likely that Fulk FitzWarin [III] died before 5 Aug 1258, the date of a confirmation made by his son of a grant made by his father (see below).

m firstly ([22 Jul/1 Oct] 1207) as her second husband, MATILDA le Vavasour, widow of THEOBALD Walter Butler of Ireland, daughter of ROBERT le Vavasour & his wife --- (

, bur Priory of Sainte-Marie near "Alberburs"). King John ordered the restoration of the dower of "Matilda his daughter who was the wife of Theobald Walter" to "Robert le Vavasour" dated 20 Jul 1207[288]. King John ordered payment of her dower to "Fulk Fitz Warin and Matilda (who was the wife of Theobald Walter)" restoring to them what he "had previously granted to Robert le Vavasour", dated 1 Oct 1207[289]. The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin records the death of "dame Mahaud de Caus" and her burial in "une priorie en le honour de Nostre Dame Seinte Marie de le ordre de Grantmont pres de Alberburs, en le boschage, sur la rivere de Sauverne"[290].

m secondly CLARICE [d%E2%80%99Auberville], daughter of --- (-[1258]).  The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin records that "Fouke" married "dame Clarice de Auberville" after the death of his first wife[291].  “Fulco fil Warini et Claric ux eius” made a fine relating to a lawsuit in Kent in [Oct] 1250[292].  The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin records that "dame Clarice" died and was buried "a la Novele Abbeye" one year before the death of her husband[293].  

Fulk [III] & his first wife had five children:

a) HAWISE . The Legend of Fulk Fitz Warin names "Hauwyse, qe pus fust dame de Wemme" as the first daughter of "Fouke" and his wife "dame Mahaud de Caus"[294]. m (before Jan 1226) WILLIAM [V] Pantulf of Wem, son of HUGH Pantulf & his wife Christiana FitzAlan (-[1232/4 Feb 1233]).
