  EVA Crispin (-[before 1192], bur Mortemer-és-Lions). The Historia cœnobiii Mortui-Maris records (during the period after "domnus Willelmus natione Anglicus" was appointed abbot of Mortemer, from the context, which appears to have been in [1179/80] judging from other parts of the same text) that "domina…Isabella de Dangu" chose burial at Mortemer and that after she died "vir eius domnus Joscelinus Crispinus et filii eorum" donated revenue "in molendino de Waltot" for her anniversary and that of "patris eius Robertus de Dangu", and also states that "Domina etiam de Harecort filia eius" donated books and other items for her own burial in the abbey[1691].
  
  Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy", names "William, Robert and Eustace" as the sons of Joscelin Crispin and "Agnes, Eva and Emelina…the daughters…on whom Eva was lady of Harcourt", but he does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[1692]. A charter relating to the [1141 or before] charter for Mortemer quoted above names “Guillaume et Robert, fils de Goscelin Crespin, Eustachie, Agnès, Eve et Emeline ses filles”, undated[1693].
  
  Assuming that all this information is correct, it is reasonable from a chronological point of view to suppose that the husband of Eva Crispin was Robert [II] Seigneur d’Harcourt. The absence of any wife’s name from her husband’s charter dated 1192 (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY) suggests that Robert may have been a widower by that date. m [as his second wife,] ROBERT [II] "le Vaillant" Seigneur d'Harcourt, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife --- (-[1208]).
