Notes
- The Tudorplace information on the Le Strange family has Hawyse (Hawise) as the wife of Griffith ap Wennonwen, and mother of Owen ap Griffith de la Pole, Prince of Powys. Others have her as the wife of Owen. Because of the careful detail and explanations I find in the Tudorplace Le Strange genealogy, I am following that on this question.
The dates given for the marriage of Griffith ap Wennonwen to Hawyse Le Strange would mean she was married at age 8. This seems strange, but child marriage was a common pattern among the Norman and other nobility in the Middle Ages. Is that what is indicated? Or is the marriage date of 1242 just crazy?
Few details are available in sources, so I am following this information from the Tudorplace genealogy, until I find more firm information that provides a better date or additional information to clarify this situation.
