• Family Background. ¹²⁰⁴
Hamon I owed £20 for scutage in 1160\1 and £10 in 1167\8, and owed £100 for a forest fine in 1176. He died in 1184 or 1185, leaving four daughters, of whom one was a nun, and a son Hamon. His widow was Maud, apparently a sister of William Mauduit. The younger Hamon was under age in 1185 and had taken a wife at the king's command. This was perhaps Agatha, daughter and co-heir of William Trusbut, a share of whose lands Hamon claimed in 1195.
