He [Hugh Wac] married Emma, daughter and coheir of Baldwin FiTZGILBERT, or DE CLARE, by Adeline, daughter of Richard DE ROLLOS (d). She was dead in 1168. He died probably between Michaelmas 1175 and Michaelmas 1176.  [Complete Peerage XII/2:295-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(d) . . . It was the marriage of Hugh Wac to Emma which brought her mother's lordship of Bourne to the Wakes and which led them later to adopt Hereward the Outlaw as their ancestor and to give him their own name as "the Wake".
