General Notes
- ROALD LESTRANGE (Extraneus) with others of the tenants of Alan FitzFlaald in Mileham, Norfolk, witnessed, before 1122, a charter of his lord in favour of Castleacre Priory; he held in Hunstanton, where he made a grant of land which was later confirmed by John Lestrange IV; he further attested a grant by Robert son of Wimer to Castleacre Priory. He married Maud, daughter of Ralph, son of HERLEWIN, or DE HUNSTANTON, by Helewise, daughter of Hugh DE PLAIZ, of Bernham, Suffolk. He died before, and probably some time before, 1158.

  Roald 'Le Strange' or "Extraneus' may have been a Breton and was of a family that seems to have migrated from Brittany to England (hence his second name, whether in its French of Latin form). But it is less certain that his family were actually of Breton origin. He testified to a charter before 1122 and was a tenant of Alan fitz Fleald in Mileham, Norfolk; also held land in Hunstanton, Norfolk; married Maud, daughter of Ralph fitz Herlewin or Ralph de Hunstanton, and was in all probability dead by 1158, having had [John], with two other but not necessarily younger sons (Hamon, held lands in Cheswardine, Salopshire, dead by 1163/4; Guy, granted land in Alveley, Salop, Sheriff of Salop 1159-60, had at least two daus).
