Note that the birth year is only meant as a very rough indication.
The name of William de Hasting's wife is not recorded in any document.
There is good reason to believe she was a sister of Maurice of Windsor, dapifer of Bury St Edmunds, because Maurice was avunculus (maternal uncle) to Ralf de Hastings.
The charter being referred to is as follows, and it clearly makes a distinction between the Latin words for paternal and maternal uncle.[1]
The name Hadewise, which genealogists sometimes give her, apparently comes from the assumption that her husband William de Hastings is the same person as Walter de Hastings, who lived about the same time and must have at the very least been a close relative. This Walter's wife was certainly named Hadewise.
Walter de Hastings and his wife Hadevisa had a manor called Mancetre which they granted to Walkeline already by the time of King Stephen, and they also granted nearby Oldbury to the Nuns of Polesworth in the time of Henry I.[2] The date of the surviving charter must be in the period of 1129-1135 according to Clark. Clark noted that between Antiquities of Warwickshire (1656), and Baronage (1675-6), Dugdale had replaced Walter with William as father of Hugh.[3]
