    Notes 
    • {geni:about_me} Her parentage is identified in Morin, Stéphane (2010). Trégor, Goëlo, Penthièvre. Le pouvoir des Comtes de Bretagne du XIIe au XIIIe siècle (in French). Presses Universitaires de Rennes., referenced in the Wikipedia entry for her father Theobald III, Count of Blois here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobald_III,_Count_of_Blois.

      Curator (dvb) note: The same entry identifies her mother as Alix de Crepy (Adela) or Adele of Valois but there is considerable confusion around the number of wives of Theobald, their names, and the number of children that he had. She is not identified as a child in FmgMedlands

      Alternate Birth; 1064, Bretagne, France.

      Hawise was living in 1135, when, as "comitissa Hadewisa" she witnessed her husband's charter for St. Edmunds. In the first edition of the present work it is stated that she was Countess of Guingamp and that Stephen became Count of Guingamp in her right. For this there seems to be insufficient foundation: Guingamp in the diocese of Treguier would be a part of the lands of Count Eudon.
    • She was her parents sole heiress.
    • She was her parents sole heiress.
    • OCCUAPATION: Said to have been the Countess of Guincamp, which is doubtful
