Person:Hugh Le Plaiz (1)

Note that Hugh was probably not referred to as "de Plaiz" in his own lifetime. One of his sons did use that second name.

"He occurs as a benefactor to Lewes priory, as do his sons Hugh fitz Hugh and Ralph de Plaiz, and his widow Beatrice. Although his son Ralph was the first of the family to be known in contemporary documents as de Plaiz, the reference to a Hugh de Plaiz in a pleas of 1194, was clearly a reference to Hugh fitz Golde. It shows that he had a daughter, Heloise, married to Ralph fitz Herluin (q.v.), tenant at Hunstanton in 1086."^[2]
