11. Hesilia Crispin, m. William Malet; he receiving Conteville by dower.
12. Robert Malet, held the fief of Collavilla, near Harfleur, Seine-Inf. Domesday shows “Gilbert de Colavilla” as a considerable undertenant of Robert Malet at Rendlesham; he also held under Robert Malet’s mother, Hesilia Crispin (DB/Sf 6/19-21, 29-30, 34-37, etc.).

Pipe Roll 31 Hen I (1129/30), Northumberland, p. 36., records ‘Wills de Waddona’ accounting for ‘fil suus’ having succeeded to the land of ‘Willi de Novo Mercato avunculi sui’ in Northumberland. From the family of Newmarch came that of Wormley.

12. William Crispin 11., an Anglo-Norman lord, who held land in Wetherby, Wheldrake, Coxwold, and Goodmanham in Yorkshire, and in Ancroft in Northumberland, as mesne-tenant of William de Percy. According to Mathieu – Reserches Sur Les Premiers Comtes De Dammartin, 19, 60, 1996. – a probable wife of William Crispin 11. was Agnes Mauvoisin, who was the daughter of Eustachia Dammartin, the daughter of Manasser, Count of Dammartin.
13. ‘Lord Thomas de Colvyle gave to God and the appertenances of the vill of Coxwold … to do there with whatsoever they would for ever’ (Excerpt from Foundations of Bylands Abbey, Gentleman’s Magazine, 1843).

McAndrew, Scotland’s Historic Heraldry, p. 235, 200).
16. Thomas de Colville, m. Asceline, half-sister of Robert de Quincy, son of Saher de Quincy.

19. Roger de Colville of Bytham Castle (b. 1251. d. 1287), m. Margaret, dau of Richard de Braose, of Stinton, Norfolk, and Alice de Ros, dau. of William de Ros, 2nd Baron Ros of Helmsley, and Margaret de Badlesmere, dau. of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere (who held Normanton and Hameldun/Hamilton; his tenants being the Colvilles in the former place, and probably in the latter; the overlordship at various times being the tenure of the Umfravilles), and Margaret (relict of Gilbert de Umfraville), dau. of Sir Thomas de Clare, lord of Thomond.

19. Gilbert de Colville. The Writs of Military Service show (1282) “Gilbertus Coleville” performing military service in Scotland ‘due from Gilbertus de Neville’. In 1277, Gilbert Neville performed military service in Scotland due from “Gilbertus de Gaunt”. In 1290, Gilbert de Neville was elected as one of the Knights of the Shire for Lincoln.
20. “Walter de Hameldon“; who with William Berc (both of Stanford) granted a garden (to Raymond le Spicer), situated between the town wall and the garden of the prior of St Leonard, near Stanford, in 1328. (N. A., C 146/3891). The family of Berc were tenants of the Colvilles at Wenton, and were probably intermarried with them. (See THE COLVILLES OF STANFORD). Walter de Hameldon received the confiscated lands of his Comyn kinsfolk in Scotland.

(1. … de Briouse, m., Mr. Stapleton conjectured, a sister of Foulque d’Anet.
2. Guillaume de Briouse, who probably m., as her second husband, the widow of Anschetil d’Harcourt. (See Carta Fécamp, Jan. 13, 1103). Anscher (Anschetill) de Rieux (Riu, Rei) gave the abbey of Tréport, c. 1060, the tithes of decimam suam de Riu. (Carlularium sanctae Trinilatis, p. 425). Gilbert (Crispin), son of Erchembald the Vicomte, gave to the abbey of Mont-de-Rouen, the valley of Riquier, and the meadows of Rieux. It may be recalled that Lesceline, countess of Eu, held the fief of Jort. She was the da. of Turchetil de Harcourt, and wife of William I, count of Eu, illegitimate son of Duke Richard I of Normandy; their son, Count Robert of Eu, died in 1089 and is buried in Tréport Abbey, which he founded between 1057 and 1066. Anschetill de Rieux was a donator to the foundation, and such donations were invariably confined to those in some way related to the founder. In that Lesceline was the sister of Anschetill de Harcourt, it may be the case that he was synonomous with Anschetill de Rieux; in this case, the donation came from an uncle. As I have conjectured, Anschetill de Rieux was a likely ancestor of a family of Despencer. Guillaume de Briouse was the son of … de Briouse, and Gunnora, of whom Mr. Stapleton (Historical Memoirs of the House of Vernon, p. 33, 1856) stated: “Gunnora, the mother of William de Briouze, was apparently another daughter of the same parentage of Alberada”, sister of Foulque d’Anet. By this measure, the families of Briouse and Crispin/Colville may have shared the same female matriarch.
3. Philip de Briouse, m. Eleanor, dau. of Juhel de Totnes.
4. William de Briouse, Lord of Bramber, and (m. bef. 1140), Bertha, dau. of Miles of Gloucester, Earl of Hereford, and Sibylle de Neufmarché

7. William de Briouse, m. Matilda, dau. of Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford, and Amice, dau. William FitzRobert (grandson of Henry 1) and Hawise de Beaumont (dau. of Robert de Beaumont), and sister of Mabel, wife of Amaury V. de Montfort, comte d’Evreux, desc. of Simon I. de Montfort, br. of of Eve de Montfort L’Aumary, wife of William Crispin I., as given. Richard de Clare was a descendant of Gilbert de Brionne, whose family were the overlords of the Crispins at the fortress of Damville, etc.
8. John de Breuse, Lord of Bramber and Gower, m. Margaret, da. of Llewelyn ap Iorwerth, Prince of North Wales.
9. Sir William de Breuse, Lord of Bramber and Gower, was granted wardship on the May 8, 1288 of the lands late of Roger de Coleville, tenant in chief of Bytham and other places in co. Lincoln, reserving to the King the marriage of the heirs during their minority.
10. Margery de Briouse, b. ca. 1266, of Stinton in Salle, Norfolk, m. Sir Roger de Colville, ca. 1279 (died shortly before 6 March 1288), son of Sir Walter de Colville.

10. Sybil de Briouse, m. William Mortimer, who held lands in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire from David, earl of Huntingdon(son of Ada de Warenne), and in Lincolnshire from the de Warenne family, earls of Surrey. He became lord of Aberdourin, Scotland, and witnessed twenty-two charters of William the Lion of Scotland (son of Ada de Warenne), and one each of Ada de Warenne and her son, David, earl of Huntingdon.
11. Constantine Mortimer, appears as a witness of the earl of Huntingdon’s charter to Castleacre Priory, along with Robert Mortimer, his elder brother, whom he joined in opposing King John in Rutland in 1215. (Serland’s list).
12. Joan de Mortimer, m. of Sir Richard de Weyland.

June 30, 1308, as her second husband), Margaret de Clare, widow of Gilbert de Umfraville, and dau. of Thomas de Clare, Lord of Thomond, and Juliana FitzMaurice. (See Inquis., 14 Edw II, of “Thomas son of Richard de Clare”.
14. Elizabeth de Burghersh, m. Edward le Despenser, 1st Baron le Despencer, son of Sir Edward le Despenser and Ann de Ferrers, son of Hugh le Despenser, 1st Lord Despenser (and Eleanor, dau. of Gilbert de Clare, 7th Earl of Gloucester, and Joan of Acre); son of Sir Hugh le Despenser, Earl of Winchester, and Isabella de Beauchamp).
