GEOFFREY Wake (-before 1168). "…Gaufridus Wac…" witnessed the charter dated to [1135/47] under which "Herbertum Piscem" settled a dispute with the church of Bayeux[969]. m ---. The name of Geoffrey’s wife is not known. Geoffrey & his wife had [four] children:
a) HUGH Wake ([before 1130]-[1175/76]). "…Hug Wac…" witnessed the undated charter issued at Stamford under which King Stephen granted Kirton in Lindsey and Gainsborough castle to William de Roumare Earl of Lincoln, dated to [1146][970]. This dating suggests that it is unlikely that Hugh Wake was born after [1130]. "…Hugo Wac…" witnessed the charter dated [Jan/Aug] 1153 under which Henry Duke of Normandy granted property to "Ran[ulfo] comiti Cestr[ie]"[971]. The Red Book of the Exchequer refersto "Hugo Wac i m" in Warwickshire, Leicestershire in [1161/62][972]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Hugo Wac" held one knight’s fee from "Hunfridi de Boun" in Wiltshire, and land previously held by "Baldewinus filius Gileberti" with one knight’s fee from "Willielmi comitis Gloucestriæ" in Gloucestershire[973]. "Hugo Wac" founded the abbey of Longues, for the souls of "Bauduini filii Gillberti et Emmæ filiæ eius uxoris meæ et…liberorum meorum Balduiniet Gaufridi, et aliorum", and donated property including "decimam molini de Rebercil…meam partem molini de Ronceta…terram quam pater meus habuit in insula de Ghernesei…" by charter dated 1168, witnessed by "…Rogerio Wac…"[974]. Hugh’s parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1185/89] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Longues, including "terram de Gernerui [Guernsey?] quam habuit Gaufridus Wac"[975], which presumably refers to the same land as mentionedin the 1168 charter. m EMMA de Clare, daughter of BALDWIN FitzGilbert de Clare & his wife Adelina de Rollos (-before 1168). "Hugo Wac" founded the abbey of Longues, for the souls of "Bauduini filii Gillberti et Emmæ filiæ eius uxoris meæ et…liberorum meorum Balduini et Gaufridi, et aliorum", by charter dated 1168[976]. A charter of King Edward III confirmed donations to Bourn Priory, among which a confirmation by “Emma Wac filia Baldwini” of a donation by “Hugo Wac, assensu conjugis suæ Emmæ…[et] filio suo Baldewino”[977]. Hugh & his wife had one child:
