"...The most likely candidate [for bishop of Coutances in 1207] seems to be a Hûc de Morville whose seat was in Burgh-by-Sands, near Carlisle, and who died in 1202. He is recorded as being in Cumberland at Michaelmas 1194, the year when the ransom was paid, and the hostages were released. Since the hostages sent to Duke Leopold were not released until after his death in December 1194, he would therefore have been in the other group of hostages at the court of Emperor Henry VI.[2]... [3]

• fn 2 One of the reasons the Cumberland Hûc is considered a likely possibility is that there are several female figures in the family named Ada. He was either the son or grandson of Simon de Morville and Ada, daughter of William de Engaine. He in turn had a daughter named Ada....
• fn 3 The Hûc de Morville involved in the assassination of Thomas à Becket was HUGH II, son of Hugh I (d. 1160) who founded the branch of the de Morville family in Scotland. Hûc de Morville of Burgh-by-Sands was either the son or grandson of Simon de Morville and Ada, daughter of William de Engaine of Burgh-by-Sands. Simon may have been a brother for Hugh I. For an excellent summary of the de Morville family and their relationships, see Kerth (2004), 7-8 and 142-4, nn. 25-27).
