Families covered: Viscount of Avranches, Abrincis of Chester, d'Avranche (Abrincis) of Okehampton, Sn de l'Aigle
| No connection has yet been found between the two families d'Avranches that are shown on this page although, as they both intermarried into related families, they may well have been. We follow what appears to be the normal identification of the following Richard's wife, and mother of Hugh Lupus, but another 'candidate' is Ermenhild, dau of Leofwine of Mercia. We suspect that one of the families below gave rise to that shown here. | |||||||||||||||
