Hawise le was born in 1180 in Chester, Cheshire, England. Hawise le's father was Hugh de Kevelioc , 5th Earl of Chester and her mother was Bertrade de Montfort. Her paternal grandparents were Ranulph de Gernon , 4th Earl of Chester and Maud FitzRobert de Caen; her maternal grandparents were Simon III Chauve de Montfort , Count d'Evereux and Maud Countess of Evereux. She had a brother and five sisters, named Ranulf de, Amicia le, Maud of, Agnes of, Mabel of and Beatrix le. She was the youngest of the seven children.General Notes
on the Earldom of Lincoln, prior creations, [Burke's Peerage, p. 1712]:
The Earldom of Lincoln was revived twenty years after the 2nd Earl's death in favour of his cousin, Ranulph Earl of Chester, who of course also had a long-standing connection with the county through their common ancestress Countess Lucy. Ranulph's prominent role in defeating the French invaders at the Battle of Lincoln earlier in 1217, the year he was made Earl of Lincoln, played a part in his elevation. Soon after Michaelmas 1230 he made over the Earldom to his sister Hawise, from whom it was conveyed to her son-in-law John de Lacy, the traffic in the dignity being approved by Henry III in both cases in the autumn of 1232.
