Eve (FitzWarin) de London (1179 - aft. 1241)

Though no documentation from primary references can be found to define that Eva who married Oliver Tracy as her first husband and Thomas Londres as her second husband, was the daughter of Fulk II Fitzwarin, the phraseology of two entries from the Fine Rolls of Henry III, dated 10 January 1219 and 4 February 1233 are strongly suggestive that there was a close relationship between Fulk III Fitzwarin and Eva.

Thomas de Londres, who held two strategically important lordships in south Wales, died in 1219. Thomas’s heir was his daughter Hawise, would have been still in her infancy and rather to hand over her daughter to the king’s messenger, Eva hid her.

Orders were issued to confiscate the lands not only held by Eva, but also the lands held by Fulk Fitzwarin and her sister, that is suggestive of Eva seeking sanctuary with close relatives who lived in the Welsh marches, an area that was excluded from the king's mandates.

Two years later, Eva was required to pay a fine of 200 marks for marrying Hawise to Patrick IV de Chaworth. [This marriage was not to take place until some years later. Patrick was the third husband of Hawise].

The second entry is suggestive enough to conclude that Eva and Fulk were brother and sister.

Hawise, the eldest daughter of Fulk III Fitzwarin, married as her first husband, William Pantulf who held in the barony of Wemme in Shropshire. William died shortly before 4 February 1233, on which date Fulk was granted custody of the lands and heir with her marriage for a fine of 600 marks with pledges obtained from William Stuteville, Henry de Tracy and William Fitzwarin.

Making such a pledge or guarantee of payment of 200 marks, strongly suggests that the relationship between Henry and Fulk was close and combined with the 1219 order to confiscate the lands of Fulk and Eva’s sister is strongly suggestive of the relationship between Fulk and Eva was that of brother and sister and between Fulk and Henry was that of uncle and nephew.
