of Little Easton, Essex[5]
had livery of his father's lands, 1128[3]
he m. lstly NN,
2ndly Juliana 'filia John fitz Waleran'
re: his second wife, Juliana:
she m. lstly William de Hastings (evidently 2nd wife),
2ndly Robert Doisnel[3]
identified in the Pipe Roll of 30 Hen I (1130):
"Essex..
Juliana, wife of William of Hastings, owes £6 from old
aid of knights from the fief of Waleran, her grandfather..."[6]
re: John fitz Waleran, father of Juliana:
of Herstmonceux and Warberton, Sussex
'John's heir was his daughter Juliana, wife in 1129 of William of
Hastings (PR 31 Henry I, 58). She was subsequently the wife of Robert
Doisnel, a royal marshal whose daughter Juliana was married to Henry
II's servant William fitz Aldelin and died without issue. In 1199 her
heirs in both the land of John fitz Waleran and the marshal serjeanty
held by Robert Doisnel were William of Warberton and Ingelran de
Monceux, whose rights derived from his wife Idonea de Monceux
(Farrer, HKF iii, 376). William, the senior heir, and Idonea, were
probably descendants of the elder Juliana's first marriage to William
of Hastings. Part of the inheritance they shared was five fees at
Herstmonceaux and Warberton held of the count of Eu in the Rape of
Hastings.'[3]

1.2.2b.2 NN de Hastings

~the mother of Idonea, wife of Ingram de Monceaux was
evidently the child of Juliana 'filia Johanni' :
1. Idonea was coheiress of Juliana Doisnel together
with William de Warberton[3]; to have equal right

either a daughter of Juliana, or daughter of a
daughter of Juliana (and William the son of
a daughter of Juliana, other than the mother of
Idonea)

King Henry II confirmed the stewardship of St. Edmund's ' as it had been
held by his paternal uncle, Ralf,...' ca. 1166[12]; further, the King
'confirmed to William de Hastings his inheritance which came from his
grandfather, William de Hastings *, and from Hugh Hastings his father,
in the time of Henry I, and also the lands given to Robert de Flamville
by Robert de Limesi, Bishop of Coventry, which came from his mother
Ernberga de Flamville.' (Kay Allen, citing Eyton's Shropshire, V: 137,
151)[12]
