Biography

Halenade/Halenath de Bidun^[1][2][3][4] also referred to as Trian de Hornelode de Bidun Limesi.^[5][6][7]

Keats-Rohan^[8] believes Halenald was a Breton and one of Henry I's "new men".

Two wives of Halenade de Bidun are recorded, Sarre^[9] and Anneta.^[1]

Keats-Rohan names the following sons:

• John, "certainly" a son of first wife Sara^[1]
• Simon
• Halenald, "possibly" a son of Sara
• Trihan^[10] (married Agnes, daughter of Ralph Picot of Kent)^[1]
• Walter the clerk (Chancellor of Malcolm of Scotland, died 1178 when he was bishop elect of Dunkeld)
• Alfred/Alured the priest

Daughters:

• Amicia (born about 1125, wife of Gerard de Limesi)^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}
• (probable) Matilda, widow in 1185 of Walchelin Visdeloup, and sometimes seen as a daughter of John

[According to Keats-Rohan 2002, children were: John, Halenald, Walter, Trihan and Amice.^[11]]

Farrer^[1] also noted Sibil, who married de Ros, as a daughter of Halenade.

Halnath de Bidon ...”witnessed the charter under which “Petrus de Golsa” founded Newhouse Abbey, Lincolnshire, dated to the reign of King Stephen.^[12]

Halenald de Bidun became a monk at St. Andrew’s, Northampton, when he donated revenue from a mill at Cotes and from Halsey in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, for the souls of himself, Anneta his wife and John his son, by undated charter witnessed by all his sons; John, Simon, Halenad, Trian, Walter the clerk and Aluric the priest.^[1][13]

Manor of Lavendon, Buckinghamshire:^[14] "By the first half of the 12th century Halnath de Bidun was holding Williams [William the sewer] land in Newton Bromswold (Northamptonshire), and Lavendon was certainly in the possession of this family at a later date. Halnath was succeeded by his son John de Bidun, who was living in 1155."

Sanders^[15] says that the lordship of Lavendon passed to "Halneth" in the time of King Henry I. In 1086 it had been held by William the sewer, who Keats-Rohan calls William the chamberlain.

“Gerardus de Limesey” donated property to Hertford Priory, for the souls of “uxoris meæ Amiciæ et Johannis filii mei”, by undated charter witnessed by Halen(ald) de Bidun, Amicia uxore mea, Trianno fratre meo…"^[10]

Medlands suggests that he died before 1156.^[16]
