| Notes |
- LE Strange, John ( d. 1269 )
Lord Marcher
Third in desent from Roland le Strange ( who occurs as a witness in 1112 ), held extensive estates in Shropshire and Norfolk , including Knokyn in the former , and Hunstanton in the latter county. He served in 1214 under King John in Poitou , and between 1233 and 1240 was successively appointed by Henry iii constable of the castles of Montgomery , Shrewsbury , Bridgnorth , and Chester. He spent a long life in defending the Welsh border as a lord marcher, and during the rebellion of Simon de Montfort stood fast to the crown. One of his daughters, Hawise , married Griffin ,prince of Powys; his younger son , Hamon , accompanied Prince Edward on the crusade of 1270, and in 1272 married at Cyprus Isabella d'Ibelin , widow of Hugh ii , King of Cyprus. Another son , Robert, was ancestor of the Lords Strange of Blackmere. John le Strange died in 1269, and was succeeded by his son John ( d 1275 ) , who by his marriage with Joan de Someri , coheiress of Hugh de Albini , earl of Arundel ,added much to the influence and wealth of his family. His grandson, John, sixth baron of Knokyn ( d . 1311 ), gave in 1310 his manor of Hunstanton to his younger brother , Hamon, from whom the Norfolk Le Stranges come in direct descent.
