  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 refers to "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 Balduini et 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 mentioned in 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:
  
  i) BALDWIN Wake (-before Nov 1198).

[Burke's Peerage]
  
  ---------------------------------
  
  HUGH WAC, 1st son and heir, "a noble man," was with King Stephen at Stamford in 1142; but was with the Earl of Chester at Devizes in 1153, when he witnessed ex parte comitis the charter for the Earl of Henry, Duke of Normandy. About 1150 he made a feoffrnent of land in Waltham on the Wolds, co. Leicester; in 1161-62 the Sheriff of cos. Warwick and Leicester answered for the scutage of Hugh; in 1164-65 Hugh paid £38 2. 6. in Lincolnshire; and in 1166 he answered for 10 1/8 knights' fees from Bourne, Lincs, his wife's inheritance. In 1168 he founded the Abbey of Longues and made numerous gifts thereto for the souls of his father and mother, of Baldwin FitzGilbert and his daughter Emma, Hugh's wife, and for the salvation of his children Baldwin and Geoffrey and the others. He also gave Wilsford, Lincs, to the Abbey of Le Bec.
  
  He married Emma, daughter and coheir of Baldwin FiTZGILBERT, or DE CLARE, by Adeline, daughter of Richard DE ROLLOS. She was dead in 1168. He died probably between Michaelmas 1175 and Michaelmas 1176. [Complete Peerage XII/2:295-6, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

  Seigneur of Negreville in Normandy, France, and, in 1168, founder of Longues Abbey. Hugh was with King Stephen at Stamford in 1142, and was with the Earl of Chester at Devizes and Roger Wake in 1153 when he witnessed the charter for the Earl of Henry, Duke of Normandy.
  
  ----------------------------------
  
  From Northamptonshire Families, p. 315:
  "In 1166 he made the return for the barony of Bourne, and at this time he was also holding single knights' fees under Humphrey de Bohun, the Earl of Gloucester and Earl Simon of Northampton and probably held of Robert of Stafford and of the Earl of Chester as well. In Normandy his lands lay at Negreville and St. Hilaire de Petitville in the Contentin peninsula...and at Longues in the Bessin, whilst to these must be added his inheritance in Guernsey. This rich baron founded in 1168 a Benedictine abbey at Longues near Bayeux, which he endowed from his Norman lands, one Roger Wac being witness to his foundation charter."
