The Barony of Strange of Hunstanton started as a branch of the original Strange (Le Strange) family and the Barony of Knockin (Knockyn) in Shropshire, on the border (frontier or "marches") of Wales. The Strange family was one of those charged with containing the border area with the wild Celts of Wales, who would revolt against the Normans periodically. Hunstanton is in Norfolk, and Strange (Le Strange) lines were there from the generation or two before the Norman conquest in 1066. The Le Stranges are associated with the Celtic-Norman counts and Dukes of Brittany.

There is confusion in some genealogies between Maud D'Eiville born 1251, wife of John IV 1st Lord Strange of Knockin born abt 1253/54, and Isolda de Walton born 1277, who married his son John VI 2nd Lord Strange of Knockin born 1282. Some list Maud as Maud de Walton, with the parents of Isolda de Walton: John de Walton b abt 1231 and Isabel Shirley b abt 1244. They may report Isolda (Yseult/Maud) de Walton correctly as born 1277, but married to John V born 20 years earlier..
