Notes:

Maud de Abrincis m. 1st, --- Deincourt, by whom she had a dau., Hawise, m. to Sir Reginald de Courtenay. Maud m. 2ndly, Robert FitzEdith, natural son of King Henry I, and had another dau., Matilda, m. to William de Courtenay, brother of Sir Reginald. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, London, 1883, p. 140, Courtenay, Barons Courtenay, Earls of Devon]

Note Burke's newest Peerage (1999 - not extinct) has a different story to tell. Maud (Matilda) married Reginald (Renaud) and Hawise married the son (also name Reginald or Renaud). No mention is made of who married Renaud I's brother William. Plus Maud de Abrincis is name "Maud D'Avranches". Plus Hawise is dau of de Coucy - not Deincourt. (note - Plantagenet ancestry also has Deincourt). I am going with the newest Burke (1999).
