Notes

  • Several sources report her name as Hawsie.  Knowing the phonetics of the period and name-forms generally, it still appears to me that this form is erroneous, and the form Hawise the more likely original form of the name.

    Many genealogies report that Hawise married Hoel V, Count of Cornouaille in Brittany, after the death of Hoel Le Strange.  But a common death date reported for Hoel Le Strange is 1089, while the supposed marriage to Hoel V of Cornouaille is reported as being in 1066.

    Being Roman Catholics, she could not have married a second husband while her first husband was still living.  Only under the most exceptional circumstances might the husband be granted the right to divorce, it was rare if not impossible for the wife to gain a divorce on her own suit.  In any case, no genealogiy that purports any of these possiblities provides any evidence or documentation at all.

    Others identify Hoel Le Strange as the same person known as Hoel V, the count of Cornouaille of Britanny.  Just for reference it may be of interest to note that this name Cornouaille is the name we know in Britain as Cornwall, which was the southwestern peninsula on the south edge of the island of Great Britain, a Celtic-speaking area until recently, and now reviving the Celtic speech.  There is a branch of the Le Strange family there and some of the Le Strange or Strange lines in the US and Canada migrated to the New World from there.
