A footnote (c) to CP's entry on her son Sir Ralph Bulmer says that she "was aged 15 at the feast of St. Hilary (probably b. at Theophania or Tiphaine, i.e., Epiphany), 1268/9." St. Hilary's feast day is January 13. Citing the Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names by Elizabeth Gidley Withycombe (1947), the Wikipedia article about the given name Tiffany says that it is "an English form of the Greek Theophania. It was formerly often given to children born on the feast of Theophania, that is, Epiphany." Epiphany is traditionally celebrated on January 6.

Ancestral Roots, 8th ed. (2004) is very confused about this individual, varying his parentage and at least once conflating him with his father:

Notes:

Royal Ancestry and various other sources give this Hugh de Morwick's wife as a Juliana, sometimes asserted as a daughter of "Robert de Reveley." But in 2016 Andrew B. W. MacEwen, John P. Ravilious, and Rosie Bevan, in "Gang Warily! Juliana de Reveley and the Randolphs: A Cautionary Tale" (citation details below) established that this was a "false genealogy derived from scribal error", that "Robert de Reveley" was a later construct, and that this Hugh de Morwick's wife and the mother of his daughters was Agnes de Heyford, daughter of Roger de Heyford and Margery Gobion.

Hugh married Agnes de Heyford about 1242. Agnes (daughter of Roger de Heyford and Margery Gobion) was born about 1230 in of Heyford, Oxfordshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate birth: Abt 1140, of Grandson, Switzerland
• Alternate death: Aft 1235

Notes:

Many genealogical sources identify this Ebel de Grandison, who was husband of a daughter of Amadeus I of Geneva, as a son of another Ebel de Grandison (claimed to have died about 1173) and his wife Jordane, the older Ebel a son of Barthélemy de Grandison who died about 1158, and whose wife is said to be unknown.

David Williams (citation details below) points out that model traces back to the research of the 19th-century Swiss historian Louis de Charrière, who postulated that Barthélemy's son Ebel could not have lived much beyond 1177 and that therefore the Ebel who appears in documents after that date must have been a son. This hypothesis was rejected in the mid-20th century by Swiss historian and genealogist Olivier Dessemontet, who argued that evidence for an additional Ebel was nonexistent, and further pointed out that Charrière had based his argument on his misunderstanding of a particular Latin text. Williams's piece, cited below, takes stock of the de Grandison pedigree in light of this and argues convincingly that Jordane was the wife of Barthélemy, not of Barthélemy's son Ebel, and that Barthélemy's son Ebel and supposed grandson Ebel were in fact a single individual who lived from about 1144 to the mid-1230s.

"Robert de Tregoz, whose family came from Troisgots in the Cotentin; until 1204 he held land in Normandy as well as in many English counties." [The Blackmans of Knight's Creek, citation details below.]

The Wallop Family says he was slain at the battle of Evesham, as does AR8 255A:29 (which appears to have originally been prepared by Richardson). But Richardson's RA says merely that he died "shortly before" 24 Sep 1268, three years after the battle.

Robert married Juliane de Cantelowe before 1 Aug 1245. Juliane (daughter of William II de Cantelowe and Milicent de Gournay) died after 6 Aug 1285. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Fulk married Clarice de Auberville. Clarice (daughter of Robert de Auberville and Clarice de Gestling) was born in of Iden, Sussex, England; died after 8 Oct 1250. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The predominant view of Clarice de Auberville, reflected in Royal Ancestry, Leo van de Pas's Genealogics, etc., is that she was the second wife of the Fulk Fitzwarine who married, first, Maud de Vavasour, and that this Fulk Fitzwarine, generally numbered "III" by later historians and genealogists, died in 1258.

But in 2003, John P. Ravilious put forward a strong argument that Fulk III died in or just before 1235, that Maud de Vavasour was his only wife, and that Clarice de Auberville was in fact the first wife of his son Fulk "IV", who later married Constance de Toeni and drowned at the battle of Lewes. Mabel Fitzwarine who married William de Crevequer and John de Tregoz was Clarice's daughter by Fulk IV rather than Fulk III. Fulk V was, as in the model more commonly accepted, son of Fulk IV by Constance de Toeni.

Ravilious's argument is based on several grounds and can be read in its entirety here. (It should be noted that the proportionally-spaced font used by Google Groups makes a hash of Ravilious's charts; this can be rectified by copying the text of the charts from the browser window and pasting them into any word processor or text editor capable of displaying them in a monospaced font, for instance Courier or Monaco.) A shorter post amplifying on one aspect of Ravilious's argument is here. It would be best to read Ravilious's argument in its entirety, but we note that among his evidence is a contemporary record in the Close Rolls in which, on 22 Nov 1235, Henry III grants to Hubert Hues a market that "was formerly held by Fulk fitz Warin, deceased." Fulk III had been closely involved with Henry and his court in previous years, and other records show clearly that this Fulk was the Fulk to whom the market had previously been granted (in 1219 and again in 1220); it is unlikely that the king or his court was confused about which Fulk they were referring to, or whether he was alive.

But the argument that Ravilious considers strongest is worth quoting in its entirety. Ravilious quotes a 1249 record of the King's Bench given in Janet Meisel's Barons of the Welsh Frontier: The Corbet, Pantulf and Fitz Warin Families, 1066-1272 (University of Nebraska Press, 1980), p. 50:

"Fulk Fitz Warin acknowledges that he gave, conceded and by his charter confirmed to Mabil, his daughter, for homage and her service, his entire manor of Lambourn with all appurtenances, to have and hold for herself and the heirs of her body of Fulk and his heirs freely, quietly, etc., saving religious service, as is described in his charter."

Ravilious comments:

"Fulk 'III' FitzWarin (husband of Maud le Vavasour) was born in 1178 or before; in 1249, if he was still alive and married to Clarice d'Auberville, he would have been somewhere between 70 and 80 years of age. At that time he would have had a son and heir aged about 40 or more (Fulk 'IV'), and would be granting the significant manor of Lambourn, Berks. to his young (say 16-19 year old) daughter -- and Fulk 'IV' 's half sister -- Maud on her marriage to William de Crevequer, something that Meisel found to be incredible. It is far more believeable, and likely, that the 1249 grant was by Fulk 'IV' (aged 40 or more) to his young daughter -- Maud (by HIS wife, Clarice d'Auberville)."

We're unaware of anyone refuting Ravilious's arguments or explaining why the commoner model of this family is more plausible, so despite the fact that most sources still show Clarice as the second wife of Fulk III instead of the first wife of Fulk IV, we're going with Ravilious's model.
