Person:Ralph De Hunstanton (1)

Eyton´s equation of Ralph of Hunstanton with Ralph fitz Herlewin has been widely accepted. He argued that Ralph fitz Herlewin holding Hunstanton in the Domesday book was therefore the husband of Helewisa fitz Plaiz, and father of both Reginald le Brun and his apparent sister, the mother of the first John Lestraunge to inherit Hunstanton.

Keats-Rohan later proposed that his father Herluin is the same as Herluin fitz Ivo (also known as Herluin of Panworth), meaning the father of Herluin would be named Ivo, and that Herlewin was probably a brother of Rainald or Reginald fitz Ivo, who is overlord to a Herluin fitz Ivo in several places in the Domesday Book.

Douglas, in his book of Bury-related documents, shows Reginald was also refered as "fitz Levohi" or fitz "Levoni".

There was possibly a man with the same name a bit later in London, or might he be the same man? See Round's book about Geoffrey de Mandeville, p.310.
