Person:John Le Strange (4)

The children need to be moved around a bit, and the wives tweaked. The theory explained in Burkes and by Hamon Le Strange is out of date. Cecil L'Estrange Ewen's proposals were accepted in the second edition of Complete Peerage, modern versions of the Victoria County Histories, and further developed in the 21st century by Douglas Richardson.^[8]

• The first wife of John was Alianora de Montz, daughter and heir of Eble (or Eubolo) de Montz, constable of Windsor castle. She was the mother of John le Strange VI, and also Hamo and Eble le Strange. (Alianora's mother used the same name as her husband John's mother, "Joan de Someri", but they were quite different people.)
• The second wife Maud de Walton. She was not a d'Eiville but a Walton, because the Waltons had bought that manor. She had with John a second son named John, who inherited her lands in Walton d'Eiville. L'Estrange Ewen also believes that from this second marriage came Elizabeth, who married a Welsh prince.Also see the modern Victoria County History.^[9]:

"In January 1246 Mr. Simon de Wauton (or Walton) received a grant (fn. 40) of a weekly market on Wednesday and a fair on the eve and day of SS. Peter and Paul at his manor of LITTLE WELLESBOURNE. This Mr. Simon, who bought property in Walton Deyville (see below), became Bishop of Norwich in 1258 and died in 1265. (fn. 41) His successor Sir John de Wauton died in or shortly before 1277, (fn. 42) leaving a widow Isabel, who married Henry le Foun, (fn. 43) and a young daughter Maud. She married Sir John de Strattelinges, or Stradling, and they had a regrant of the market and fair at Little Wellesbourne in 1290. (fn. 44) Sir John was dead by February 1293 (fn. 45) and Maud married John Lestrange of Knockin, who died in 1309, leaving a son John. (fn. 46) As her third husband she married Thomas Hastang, (fn. 47) who was returned in 1316 as holding Walton with the hamlet of Wellesbourne, (fn. 48) which from this time onwards becomes known as WELLESBOURNE HASTANG, (fn. 49) or more often HASTINGS, or WELLESBOURNE LESTRANGE, and descends with the manors of Walton."

...and...

"When the family of Deyville, (fn. 54) from whom the manor of WALTON DEYVILLE acquired its name, became enfeoffed here is uncertain, but Walter Deyville gave the tithe of his mill at Walton to the nuns of Pinley, probably about 1230. (fn. 55) Robert Deyville was holding a knight's fee here from the Earl of Warwick in 1242 (fn. 56) and Walter was granted free warren in his manor of Walton in 1252. (fn. 57) His successor, Roger Deyville, became heavily indebted to the Jews (fn. 58) and sold the manor to Simon de Wauton, who granted it to his son John. (fn. 59) This Simon may have been identical with the Mr. Simon who held the manor of Wellesbourne Hastings (see above) and who in 1240 bought from William Mauduit and Alice his wife 6 acres in Walton called Litlemede lying beside the Portwey. (fn. 60) Mr. Simon was elderly when he became bishop and may well have been married when young. (fn. 61) John de Wauton died in 1277 (fn. 62) and his widow Isabel married Henry le Foun. (fn. 63) John's heir, his daughter Maud, was a child, and in 1278 Henry and Isabel conveyed the manors of Walton and other lands to Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York. (fn. 64) On the death of Walter in the following year these estates passed to his brother Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester, who in 1281 conveyed them to Robert Burnel, Bishop of Bath and Wells, for life, with remainder to Maud, whom he undertook to marry to one of the elder sons of either his brother Hugh Burnel or of Sir Robert de Escales. (fn. 65) As already mentioned, however, Maud married first Sir John de Strattelinges and secondly John Lestrange of Knockin, and thirdly Thomas Hastang."
