Facts and Events
Amabilis or Amabel, is said to be sister to William de Hastings. This is based on several small bits of evidence. In Richardson's words (Royal Ancestry III p.245): (1) "About 1195-1205, he conveyed a rent of £5 in Blunham, Bedfordshire to Richard Foliot, in marriage with an un-named sister"; (2) "charter dated ?1200/1210 of Amabilis de Hastings, mentions the mill she had in free marriage in Blunham Bedfordshire, a Hastings family holding"; (3) The editor of the Cartulary of Old Wardon "suggests that Amabel de Hastings (living c.1200/1210), widow of Ralf de Exeter, maybe the same person as the unnamed sister of William de Hastings, who married c.1195/1205 Richard Foliot". (Ralf de Excestre's mother appears to have been a member of the Hastings family of Little Easton. The two Hastings families clearly had various indirect connections.) References
