• Notes

  Also called Audrey, etc. VCH Warwickshire ("Parishes: Morton Morrell", pp. 118-122) says her mother was "daughter and coheir of Robert Peverel," but this is sourced only to Dugdale. Ray Phair, post to soc.genealogy.medieval, 7 Jun 2002: Cris Nash and earlier Dick Ledyard asked who was the father of Aubreye (Albreda) de Harcourt (d. 1205), wife of William Trussebut? There are at least three versions: A) Bridges claimed her father was Aubrey ('Albricius') de Harcourt [1], without providing any evidence. So far, no record of his existence has been found. Clay accepted this version, rather than the next one, because it was presented earlier [2]. B) Baker (according to Clay) and Eyton said her father was Rollo de Harcourt, without providing any evidence [2,3]. So far, no record of his existence has been found. Farrer and Sanders accepted this version; Clay dismissed it as without proof [4,2]. C) Crouch, in a very brief note, proposed that her father was Ivo de Harcourt, a younger son of Robert fitz Anschetil, lord of Harcourt [5]. Ivo, who appeared possibly as early as c.1140, was alive in 1166, but may have died later that year [5,6]. By two charters Aubreye gave land in "Brandestona" to Nuneaton priory, Warwickshire [2]. Clay has identified this location as Braunston, Northamptonshire, where Aubreye and her descendants are known to have held land; Round had earlier implied this was the location of her gift [2,7]. Crouch, on the other hand, thought it was Braunstone, Leicestershire; although based on more tentative evidence, it does provides a link to the family of Ivo de Harcourt. A descendant of Ivo's heir did later hold land there [8], but Crouch's version needs further study. [1] J. Bridges, "The history and antiquities of Northamptonshire", 1791, 1:26-7. [2] "Early Yorkshire charters", 10:8-11, 15-6, & nos. 7-9, 12, 1955, ed. C.T. Clay. [3] Clay said this appeared in G. Baker, "The history and antiquities of the county of Northampton", 1822-41, 1:268-9, which, unfortunately, is missing from the library. R.W. Eyton, "Antiquities of Shropshire", 9:67-9,75 (1859); he may have been familiar with Baker's work. [4] W. Farrer, "Feudal Cambridgeshire", 1920, pp.160-3; I.J.
