REFN: 11696AN
1st wife Matilda De Donjon
2nd wife Hawise De Curci D'Abrinces
2nd son. Came to England with Queen Eleanor, the wife of Henry II, in 115
2. He was the Baron of Okehampton, Hereditary Sheriff of Devonshire Coun
ty from the right of his 2nd wife, Hawise D'Abrinces. He was Governor of t
he Castle of Exeter.
There is a lot of confusion regarding the one or two generations followi
ng Miles de Courtenay. Some sources say that Reginald, son of Miles was su
cceeded by another Reginald, then by Robert; others say that the sequen
ce was Miles, Reginald, Robert (the second Reginald may be the broth
er of Robert, rather than the father) and no two sources agree on who t
he wives of these men were. The IGI reflects the confusion in the origin
al sources so one ends up going around and around in multiply linked spous
es and offspring. I've gone with the simplest version, that from the Visit
ations, with only one Reginald, because that is supported by H. M. Imbert-
Terry's discussion in "The Royal Courtenays".
