Person:Guy Le Strange (5)

This profile should be deleted and/or disconnected from both the parents and children. There is no evidence for this person. Cecil L'Estrange Ewen writes:

"Passing over a doubtful Guido cognomina de Lestrange said to be the 29th bishop of Puy in the year 984, then Estraunge of Destraunges entered on the copies of the much discredited Battle Abbey rolls, and also that Guy said by tradition to be the son of a “Duke of Brittany,” the first authenticated individual bearing the name is one Bernard le Strange (Extraneous) who, according to a contemporary chronicler, figured at the first crusade (1096-1101)."^[2]

On the other hand it might be argued that wa should at least keep the connection to the son with a special note, because no other father is known, but then we should consider that Cecil L´Estrange Ewen put forward a more evidence based theory that the father might be Siward, mentioned in Domesday, who held at least one of the same manors and was apparently the same man who was ancestor of the neighbouring Lestrange family of Ralph and his son Durrand; who received other manors of his.
