Oct - Dec 1190; witness in 1150 at Rouen, Normandy of charter of Henry, Duke of Normandy (later Henry II of England); in 1160 received grant of the Manor of Sutton, Berkshire from the king; from that date in constant attendance on the king, perhaps a royal secretary; in 1171 accompanied the king in his campaign in Ireland; appears holding land in Devonshire for the first time 1175-1176; in the king's train in his travels in England and France; m.

(2) Maud, daughter of Robert Fitz Edith (illegitimate son of King Henry I of England, by Edith, daughter of Forn), by Maud (d'Avranches) de Courcy, widow of William de Courcy. [Ancestral Roots]
Note: I have (unsourced) Hawise Deincourt as the unidentified woman who was his 1st wife.
Note: Could his holding land in Devon finally in 1175-1176 possibly relate to his late (1172) marriage to Maud Fitz Edith or to the son Reginald's marriage to Hawise de Courcy, Heiress of Okehampton?
