From a Family Tree Scroll which
was discovered in a Car Boot Sale in 2007.
I must confess that trying to 'sort' this family has been a rather confusing
task. I do not guarantee that what I have listed here is correct,
there has been conflicting information from various times and people, that I
doubt the full line will ever be known. If I have found 'sound'
references, they are so noted - if you can correct / add to this lineage -
please do not hesitate to contact me. [ E-Mail ]

Peter became custodian of Neath Castle (1296–7),
joined the English expedition to Flanders in 1297, and, when Otto de Grandson
visited Rome, Peter was nominated his lieutenant in Ireland (1298). Such royal
and seigneurial service, together with shrewd marriages, turned the descendants
of these Savoyard immigrants into English gentry. Peter's son Sir Edward
Stradling (d. c.1363) succeeded to his parents' lands by 1314; Oxford Dictionary
National Biography.
Sir Peter de Stratelinges was a Follower of Sir Otto, and he was the first to
settle in Glamorgan. He married Joan de Hawey or Halweia, heiress of St. Donats,
Combe Hawey in Somerset, and other estates in southern England. They were both
in Ireland in 1298.
