  === Life Sketch ===
  SAVARY FitzCana ([1065/70]-). He is named as son of Cana by Orderic Vitalis[308]. "…Savaricus filius vicecomitis Radulfi…" witnessed a charter dated to [1067/80] relating to the donation by "Johannes de Guirchia" of "ecclesia sancti Cornelli de Banniolo" to the church of Saint-Vincent du Mans[309].
  
  "Savericus filius Cane…" witnessed a charter dated to [1087/94] under which Robert son of William I King of England donated property to Holy Trinity, Caen[310].
  
  Of Midhurst and Easebourne, Sussex. m MURIEL de Bohun, daughter of RICHARD de Méry Seigneur de Bohun & his wife Lucie ---. Domesday Descendants states that Savary de Beaumont married "Muriel daughter of Richard de Meri, the Norman heir of Humphrey de Bohun" but does not cite the corresponding primary source[311].
  
  Her family origin is indicated by a charter of King Richard I dated 31 Mar 1190 confirming "Ford, Climpling, Rustinton, Presteton and Lovinto…in the county of Sussex" to "Francus de Bohun", to hold in the same way as "Savaric son of Savaric, heir of Enjulger de Bohon" had held[312].
  
  "Savaric son of Cana and Muriel his wife" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin, Sees by charter dated to [1105], witnessed by "…Radulfus et Savarico filii ipsius Savarici"[313]. Savari & his wife had four children:
  
  a) RADULF FitzSavary (-before 1157[314]). "Savaric son of Cana and Muriel his wife" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin, Sees by charter dated to [1105], witnessed by "…Radulfus et Savarico filii ipsius Savarici"[315]. Of Midhurst and Easebourne, Sussex. “Radulfus filius Savari…” subscribed the undated charter under which “Wilielmus Cicestriæ comes” donated property “ecclesiæ de Bisintona quam Radulphus de Haia dedit ecclesiæ sanctæ Trinitatis” to Boxgrove Priory, dated the day “ipse Radulphus” was betrothed to “uxorem suam Olivam sororem…meam”[316]. m [AGNES de Albini, daughter of WILLIAM Earl of Arundel & his wife Adelisa de Louvain]. Domesday Descendants records that William Earl of Arundel donated property to Boxgrove Priory for the soul of Agnes, wife of Radulf FitzSavaric, by charter dated [1173] which does not specify the relationship between the two[317]. Considering that she gave birth to a daughter before her husband's death before 1157, Agnes was probably the first child of her parents, assuming that William 1st Earl of Arundel was her father. Radulf & his wife had one child:
  i) AGATHA (-young). William Earl of Arundel and his wife Queen Adelisa made a grant to Wymondham Priory for her soul[318].
  
  b) SAVARY FitzSavary (-[1157/68]). "Savaric son of Cana and Muriel his wife" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin, Sees by charter dated to [1105], witnessed by "…Radulfus et Savarico filii ipsius Savarici"[319]. He succeeded in 1180 to the estates of his maternal uncle Engelger Seigneur de Bohon[320] and became Seigneur de Bohon. This succession is indicated by a charter of King Richard I dated 31 Mar 1190 confirming "Ford, Climpling, Rustinton, Presteton and Lovinto…in the county of Sussex" to "Francus de Bohun", to hold in the same way as "Savaric son of Savaric, heir of Enjulger de Bohon" had held[321]. Of Ford, Sussex.
  
  c) GELDUIN FitzSavary (-before 1187). Of Midhurst, Easebourne and Hustington, Sussex. m ESTRANGIA, daughter of ---, "a Burgundian related to the German kings"[322]. Gelduin & his wife had two children:
  i) FRANCO de Bohun (-after 31 Mar 1190). King Richard I confirmed "Ford, Climpling, Rustinton, Presteton and Lovinto…in the county of Sussex" to "Francus de Bohun", to hold in the same way as "Savaric son of Savaric, heir of Enjulger de Bohon" had held, by charter dated 31 Mar 1190[323]. His descendants were the Bohun family of Midhurst, Ford and Hustington in Sussex, which is set out in Europäische Stammtafeln[324]. The family became extinct in the senior male line in 1492 and in a junior male line (the Bohun family of Westhall, Suffolk) in 1780.
  - BOHUN of MIDHURST, SUSSEX.
  ii) SAVARIC (-8 Aug 1205). Bishop of Bath and Wells.
  
  d) LUCY . Orderic Vitalis records that Robert de Grantmesnil, son of “Hugo de Grentemaisnilio” and his wife, married thirdly “Luciam Savarici filii Cani filiam”[325]. Given the likely chronology of Robert´s wife Agnes, it is probable that Lucy was his second rather than his first wife. m as his [second] wife, ROBERT de Grantmesnil, son of HUGUES de Grantmesnil & his wife Adelisa [Aelis] de Beaumont-sur-Oise (-1 Jun [1136], bur Saint-Evroul).

  === Conflict with the reported father of Savaric FitzCane (FitzCana or Bohun) ===
  It appears that all of the historical records currently available [See numerous documents in the Memories section of Savaric] agree that the mother of Savaric was Cana de Pontlevoie, daughter of Gelduin, Seigneur de Pontlevoie and Seigneur de Saumur and the second wife of Raoul IV, Vicomte du Maine. However, those same records do not all agree on who the father of Savaric was. The Battle Abbey Roll suggests the father of Savaric was Ralph de Beaumont, Vicomte du Mans, Cana's reported second husband, but no other records name Cana's husband as Ralph de Beaumont.
  
  The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (a number of entries) reports that Savaric's father was Raoul, Vicomte du Maine, Cana's first husband.
  
  Burke's Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages gives Savaric's father as Enghiler de Bohun (who is most likely the uncle or brother of Savaric's wife, not Savaric's father).
  
  The Sussex Archaeological Collections suggests that Ralph de Arderne was the son of the daughter of Savaric FitzCana who had married a Bohun. Thus, it is clear that Savaric's parentage and descendants are based on a great deal of conjecture in the historical records.
  
  It seems rather logical to assume that if Savaric was the son of Ralph de Bohun, he would carry his father's Bohun name as his surname rather than his mother's name, and some records, particularly private records, do give Savaric the surname Bohun. It also seems logical to assume that if Ralph de Beaumont was the father of Savaric, he would bear the surname of Beaumont, and not his mother's name.
  
  Some entries in British History Online call Savaric by the name Savaric FitzCane rather than Cana, apparently supposing that Savaric is named after his father (Cane?) rather than his mother (Cana).
  
  It is clear from the historical records that Savaric married Muriel de Bohun, daughter of Richard de Mery (Meri), Seigneur de Bohun, son of Humphrey (with the beard) de Bohun who accompanied William the Conqueror to England in 1066. It thus appears that Savaric actually gets his surname of Bohun, found in some records, from his wife rather than from a father or mother, and certainly all of Savaric's children by Muriel de Bohun assumed the surname of Bohun.
  
  From the above discussion, it seems most likely that Savaric is the son of Cana de Pontlevoie, the daughter of Gelduin, Seigneur de Pontlevoie and Seigneur de Saumur, and who was also the second wife of Raoul IV, Vicomte du Maine. However, being from the second family of Raoul, Vicomte du Maine, Savaric was likely not in line to inherit any lands from his father, who quite possibly died fairly shortly after Savaric's birth. That may well be a significant reason why Savaric sought his fame and fortune by leaving Normandy, France, and going to England.
