About Ralph (Raoul, Ranulf) I de la Haye, Seigneur de la Haye, of Halnaker, Seneschal de Robert Mortain

It appears that it is not entirey clear whether Raoul/Ranulf de la Haye was the son of Thurstan Haldup (who was Baron of La Haye-du-Puits) or if Raoul married into the family and gained the title through his wife. Cawley claims the latter, while Davies, a local historian from the Cotentin in Normandy, positions Raoul as Thurstan's son. Here are my notes from Davies' book (which is in French):

In "Les Barons du Cotentin", Alan Davies lists four sons as the children of Turtain Gotz (Thurstan le Goz) and Judith de Monterolier:

  • Renouf (mort avant 1090)
  • Turstin (Turtain) Haldup, ancestre des barons de La Haye-du-Puits
  • Gislebert d'Avranches
  • Richard Gotz, dit RIchard d'Avranches (1024-1082), vicomte de lieu en 1050, epousa Emma de Comteville demi-soeur du duc Guillaume

Davies says that Thurstan Haldup was Baron of La Haye-du-Puits et du Plessis; possessed numerous domaines in the Cotentin and Calvados and was the founder of the Abbaya of Lessay in 1056, with the accord of the bishop of Coutances (Geoffroy de Montbray). He died before 1080. From his marriage with Emma/Anne of Normandie, daughter of Richard II, he had notably two sons:

  • Raoul, senechal for Count Robert de Mortain, died on crusade. Father of Robert, who became seigneur de La Haye following the death of his uncle Eudes.
  • Eudes-au-Capel, baron of La Haye, senechal of Normandy.

Eudes appeared in many charters around 1080, and undertook to resolve the disputes of his office. Benefactor of the Abbey of Lessay, Eudes was buried there 3 Feb 1098, leaving the barony without posterity (no offspring).

His successor was his nephew, Robert de la Haye (Senior), son of Raoul, who inherited the seigneurie and died before 1154. From his marriage with Muriel de Colswein de Lincoln was born

Richard, baron de La Haye, and Raoul, seigneur de Montchaton (on the Seine River, next to the chateau de Regneville), who had many offspring. The brothers were at the defense of Cherbourg against Geoffroy Plantagenet. Richard, constable of Normandy, baron de la Haye, died in 1169. In 1154 he founded the Abbey of Blanchelande. From his marriage in 1140 with Mathilde de Vernon dame de Varenguebec, were born three daughters, of whom Gillette, who married Richard II du Hommet. Thus the barony of La Haye-du-Puits entered into the Hommet family.

Please note that Davies' account contrasts with that of Cawley in that Davies names Raoul (Ranulf) as the son of Thurstan while Cawley posits that it was in fact Thurstan's daughter who was married to Raoul/Ranulf.

SEIGNEURS de LA HAYE

According to Domesday Descendants, this family originated in La Haye-du-Puits in the Cotentin, Normandy {Manche}[1310]. The founding charter of Boxgrove Priory in Sussex states that the founder, Robert de La Haye, was "consanguineo" of Henry I King of England. The precise relationship has not yet been traced.

1. --- (-after Oct 1066). Seigneur de La Haye. The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "le sire de la Haye" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[1311]. m ---. One child:

a) RANULF . Seneschal of Robert de Mortain. m ---, daughter of THURSTAN Haldup & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the foundation charter of the priory in which her son Robert de La Haye names himself "son of Ranulf the seneschal of Robert de Mortain" and "nephew of Eudo dapifer" [son of Thurstan Haldup][1312]. Ranulf & his wife had one child:

According to Domesday Descendants, this was land which had been forfeited by William de Ansleville[1314]. In the foundation charter of the priory he names himself "son of Ranulf the seneschal of Robert de Mortain" and "nephew of Eudo dapifer" [son of Thurstan Haldup][1315]. Domesday Descendants dates the foundation to "before 1105"[1316], which would place Robert´s birth in [1075/80], bearing in mind his date of death. Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Lessai, including donations by "Turstini Haldup et Eudonis filii eius" confirmed by "Roberti de Haia et Murielis uxoris sue et Richardi et Radulfi filiorum eorum", by charter dated [1185/Jan 1188][1317].

SOURCE?

Raoul de la Haye and Olive de Rie were the parents of Robert, baron de la Haye-du-Puits [%C3%89ric Van Torhoudt, L’écrit et la justice au Mont Saint-Michel: les notices narratives, vers 1060-1150, 2007], who married Muriel de Lincoln. Their son was Richard, baron de la Haye-du-Puits et de Varenquebec. The barony was to later pass to the descendant of the Crispin family of Neaufles, direct decendants of Herolfr Turstain. Richard Turstin: Baron de La Haye du Puits et le Plessis [Fresne] et Appeville: A clue to his origins is given in the latter holding: The family of Appeville were the family of Montfort-sur-Rille; 'La famille d'Appeville doit tirer son origine de l'une des trois paroisses de ce nom, situées en Normandie, 1° Appeville [depuis Annebaut], canton de Montfort-sur-Rille, arrondissement de Pont-Audemer(Eure); — 2° Appeville* [Seine-Inf%C3%A9rieure], arrondissement de Dieppe, canton d'Offranville; — 3° Appeville-la-Haye [Manche], arrondissement de Coutances, canton de la Haye-du-Puits' ['Liber censualis', p. 191, 1842]. Ansrid I., as above, was the father of Hugh de Montfort-sur-Risle, brother of Anceline Bertrande; his son was Hugh II. de Montfort-sur-Risle, who married, as said, Alice de Beaufou. Richard Turstin was contemporary to him, and inherited Appeville-la-Haye: 'Seigneurs de la paroisse d'Appeville, canton de la Haye-du-Puits, dans la Manche, la charte de fondation de l'abbaye de Lessay, nous apprend que Turstin Hadulp, ainsi que son fils Eudes, donnèrent à ce monastère, tout ce qu'ils possédaient tant en églises qu'en terres, bois, prairies , etc. en Apavilla et en Osulfivilla' [ibid.]. The latter holding can be assumed to have been that of Osulf, father of Grimoult du Plessis, strongly suggesting a connection between Richard Turstin's wife, Emma, and the family of Plessis - see ch. xiv. b. * A tenant there was William d'Arques.
