Biography

Birth

Hawise de Lanvallay was the daughter and heiress of William de Lanvallay^[1] and Maud Pecche.^[2][3] The date and place of her birth are unknown and are estimated.

Marriage and Child

Before Michaelmas 1219 Hawise's wardship was awarded to Hubert de Burgh,^[2][3] who could therefore determine whom she married. Before 1227 she married Hugh's son John de Burgh.^[2][3] They had one son:

• John^[2][3][1]

Lands etc

Hawise inherited the barony of Walkern, Hertfordshire.^[4] Among the other properties she inherited from her father were the manors of Halingbury, Lexden and Stanway in Essex^[5][6] and land at Hamerton, Huntingdonshire.^[7] In 1229 she came into possession of Abington, Cambridgeshire.^[8]

In 1230-1 Hawise and her husband gave up their disputed claim to rent from the priory of Montacute, Somerset for property at Chinnock, Somerset, in return for being regularly named in prayers at the Priory.^[9]

On 3 December 1235 Hawise's husband came to an agreement with Henry III over arrangements for the payment of a debt, part of which related to monies owed to the crown by Hawise's mother.^[10] Hawise's mother had unsuccessfully disputed the debt, but it was confirmed as due from Hawise, as her father's heir, in 1233.^[11]

In 23 Henry III (28 October 1238 - 27 October 1239) Hawise and her husband sued Alice de Vipont for land at Eton.^[12]

In 1240 Hawise and her husband claimed Datchworth, Hertfordshire which had previously been owned by her great-grandmother Gunnora de St Clair: that year they granted the manor to Gilbert de Wauton for an annual rent of a pair of gilt spurs, or 6d.^[2][3][13]

Death and Burial

Hawise died in 1249. She was buried at St John's Abbey, Colchester, Essex,^[1][2][3] to which her mother had made given land.^[14]
