Note: It is stated that, at jousts held in the Peke of Derbyshire, at Castle Peverell, where, amongst other persons of note, were present Owen, Prince of Wales, and a son of the King of Scots; there were also two sons of the Duke of Bretaigne; the younger of them, being named Guy, was called Guy le Strange, and from him that the several family of Strange subsequently descended. This statement may or may not be true, but it is certain that, in the time of Henry II, there were three brother named le Strange, who possessed lands in Shropshire. Those brothers were, Guy, Hamon, and John, [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 515, Strange, Barons Strange of Knokyn]

JOHN LE STRANGE was born about 1142, lived in Ness and Cheswardine, Shropshire, England and died about Dec 1178 in Hunstanton, Norfolk, England . John married Hawise about 1167. Hawise was born about 1146, lived in Cheswardine, Shropshire, England. John le Strange (I) lived through the whole of the troublous reign of Stephen (1135–54), and during the first twenty-four years of the reign of Henry II. In Hunstanton he inherited two distinct manors, one from his father Roland, and another through his mother Matilda. He must have succeeded his father towards the close of the reign of Henry I, as his name appears as a witness to a grant by William fitz Alan and his wife Christiana of land in Sheriff Hales to Haughmond Church. Eyton[6] shows cause for believing that this deed belongs to the period before 1138, since in that year fitz Alan was exiled from Shropshire and deprived of his estates. At that period John le Strange held no fiefs in Shropshire; the large possessions which the family subsequently possessed in that county all date from the reign of Henry II, or shortly before it, a reward doubtless for their services to the Empress Matilda and her son during the usurpation of Stephen. The Breton (or Angevin) connection of the family is emphasised by their loyalty to the house of Anjou; hence the Cheswardine grant by Henry before 1154, and the subsequent solid establishment of the family in Shropshire. John I Lestrange; granted land by Henry II in Ness, Salopshire 1158 and Staffs 1168-69; married Hawise and died by Michaelmas 1178. [Burke's Peerage]

In 1168-69 he had a grant from the King of pasture in Staffs. Before 1176 he gave the churches of Hunstanton and Cheswardine to Haughmond Abbey, having previously given to the Abbey a ½ virgate in Webscott.
