=== Life Sketch ===
Numerous sources are attached which provide substantial proof of the existence of Alan fitz Alan, styled "Dapifer of Dol", who took part in the First Crusade in 1097; who was brother to Flaad fitz Alan and Rhiwallon fitz Alan. Sources include a Wikipedia website on Alan fitz Flaad; J. Horace Round's 1901 Studies in Peerage with a fitz Flaad family tree and references to Dom Robineau's 1707 History of Brittany; J. Horace Round's 1899 Calender of Documents Preserved in France, Vol I, with copies of the actual Cartularies of religious affiliations and their Charters; and the 1916 Le Strange Records. These sources supplement the outdated Dugdales and modern Brittish Peerage sources (where it concerns the ancestors of the Alan fitz Flaad and Rivallon Extraneous families of Norfolk and Shropshire); by extending the diligent research done by Round and Eyton in compiling and translating the ancient pipe scrolls, charters, and other original documents from the Latin. Round's Studies and the Le Strange Records are based upon these original ancient documents and their results are combined with Round's confirmed Alan fitz Flaad Family tree to provide a more complete genealogy; and to show the connection between the monks of St Florent and Rhiwallon (Welsh) or more correctly Rivallon (Breton) Extraneus, founder of the Le Strange families of Norfolk and Shropshire.
The area of Dol is near Mont-Saint-Michel and has figured in the history of the Duchy of Brittany since at least the rule of Nominoe. Round's genealogy was confirmed in 1904 by Sir James Balfour Paul, then Lord Lyon King of Arms, who, in a definitive work, The Scots Peerage, stated that "the Stewarts or Stuarts are of Breton origin, descended from a family which held the office of Senescal or Steward of Dol."
After an anonymous work of 1874 drew attention to a strong connection between Alan fitz Flaad and Brittany, and confirmed Flaad's relationship to Alan the Seneschal (Alan Dapifer); J. Horace Round definitively established and publicised Alan fitz Flaad's true Breton origins in 1901 in his Studies in Peerage.
From Round's 1901 Studies, p120-3: Some charters were specially selected by me from the Liber Albus of St. Florent (Nos. 1152-4) to illustrate, about the end of (William) the Conqueror's reign, the little group of Dol families who were about to settle in England. Among the witnesses to one of them are Baderon and his son the Domesday tenant. But the one family we have specially to trace is that which held the office of "Dapifer" at Dol.
"Alan Dapifer" is found as a witness, in 1086, to a charter relating to Mezuoit (a cell of St. Florent, near Dol; per Dom Lobineau's 1707 History of Brittany, p. 250). He also, as "Alanus Siniscallus", witnessed the foundation charters of that house (ante 1080) and himself gave it rights at Mezuoit with the consent of "Fledaldus frater ejus (Flaad his brother)", the monks, in return, admitting his brother Rhiwallon to their fraternity (per Dom Lobineau's 1707 History of Brittany, p. 137, 138, collated by Round with the Liber Albus at Angers). It is as "Alanus dapifer Dolensis" that he took part in the first crusade (Odericus Vitalis, Historie de France, vol III, p 507).
The fact can be observed from above that "Fledaldus frater ejus" directly translated from the Latin is "Flaad his brother", which confirms that Alan Dapifer the 1097 crusader is Flaad's brother, not his father Alan an earlier Seneschal or Steward of Dol. The fact that the crusader's gift at Mezuoit was conceded "by his brother Flaad" means that Flaad was his brother's heir at the time, and that his office of "dapifer" at Dol was afterwards held by descendants of Flaad fitz Alan. It must be logically deduced that Alan Dapifer the crusader, left no heir of his body, and had no issue. I know of no further evidence of Alan Dapifer the crusader in any charters after 1097.
Flaad fitz Alan's son, Alan fitz Flaald (ancestor of the Stuarts), also occurs in these Breton documents as releasing his rights in the church of "Guguen" (Cuguen, near Dol) to Bartholomew abbot of Marmoutier (from Dom Lobineau's History of Brittany Vol II, p 310 and MS. lat. 5441 (3) fo. 235). Also Henry I's Charter No. 1225 (prior to 1108) confirming the foundation of Holy Trinity Priory, York, as a cell of Marmoutier, contain Alan fitz Flaad's name as a witness. Again, a charter of donation to Andover Priory reveals Alan as present in the New Forest with William son of Baderon and "Wihenocus monachus" (William's uncle, monk) early in the reign of Henry I (Mm. Ang. VI. 993).
It was Alan fitz Flaad also who founded Sporle Priory, Norfolk (Charter No. 1149, after 1122), on land he held there, as another cell of St. Florent, the Bretons who witness his charter further attesting his origin. Among them is seen "Rhiwallon Extraneus" (named Roland in the Dictionary of National Biography) the founder of the Norfolk family of Le Strange, which, more than five centuries later, was so ardent in its loyalty to Alan's descendants, the Stuart kings of England. Although Round spells his name here as Rhiwallon (Welsh), the original Charter No. 1149 spells his name Rivallonus Extraneous (Latin) or translated Rivallon (Breton).
From the 1916 Le Strange Records, p5, 6: The Castleacre Chartulary has also preserved to us two more deeds, made, as Eyton thinks, early in the reign of Henry I (abt 1112), in each of which the name of Roland le Strange is found as a witness. The first of these is a grant by Roger son of Wimer, who was Steward (Dapifer) to the second William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, of the church of Kempston, with other Norfolk churches, tithes, and lands to the Priory of Castleacre, which had been founded in 1085; the name of the first lay witness to this deed is given as "Rodlando Extneo." The second charter is a grant from Alan fitz Flaald and Adelina his wife, the ancestors of the fitz Alan family, to the same priory of lands in Kempston and other Norfolk places, the third witness thereto being "Rual Extneo". These early charters have been printed in full in Dugdale's "Monasticon", and in part by Carthew.
By looking at what is known of Rhiwallon (Rivallon) and his two brothers; it can be deduced that Alan fitz Alan (Dapifer of Dol and crusader) was the oldest of the three brothers, Flaad fitz Alan was the second son, and Rhiwallon was the youngest son. "Alan Dapifer" is found as a witness, in 1086, to a charter relating to Mezuoit, a cell of St. Florent near Dol. He also, as "Alanus Siniscallus", witnessed the foundation charters of that house (ante 1080) and himself gave it rights at Mezuoit with the consent of Flaad fitz Alan his brother, the monks in return admitting his brother Rhiwallon to their fraternity. These charters show that Rhiwallon must have been born in Dol before 1080 and that Flaad succeeded his brother Alan as Steward of Dol before 1086. In addition it was customary to name the first born son after the father, as it was in Alan Dapifer's case in being named after his father Alan Steward of Dol. Nothing more can be seen of Alan after he went on crusade in 1097.
Henry I Count of Brittany, third son of William the Conqueror, had been besieged in 1091 at Mont St Michel during his struggle with his brothers Robert Curthose and William Rufus. He is known to have recruited Breton troops at that time and, after his surrender, left the scene via the adjoining regions of Brittany, where Dol is situated. This is a likely explanation for the Bretons in the military retinue he brought to England after the death of William Rufus.
Henry I was known to have recruited from the Breton family of Flaad to positions of trust in Norfolk (Honour of Mileham) and Shropshire. Flaad and his son Alan fitz Flaad appear to have departed Brittany to join Henry I shortly after he succeeded William Rufus to the English throne in 1100; Flaad was seen in Charter No. 1136 at 1101/2 and his son Alan was seen in Charter No. 1225 at 1100 - 1108 among others.
Flaad's brother Rhiwallon (Rivallon or Roland), born before 1080 in Dol, was a monk of the Mezouit cell of St Florent de Saumur near Dol and remained behind in Brittany with the Mezouit monks during his early years. Apparently both of his parents died at or shortly after his birth, which can explain why his older brothers executed the Charter with the monks of Mezouit to accept their younger brother Rhiwallon (Rivallon or Roland) into their fraternity.
It wasn't until about 1112 that Rhiwallon was seen in Norfolk, England witnessing two of his nephew Alan fitz Flaad Castleacre Priory Charters (another cell of St Florent de Saumur) and styling himself as "Rolando Extneo" in the first one and "Rual Extneo" in the second. Later in Charter No. 1149 (after 1122) Alan fitz Flaad granted to St Florent the church of Sporle near Norfolk, which was withnessed also by "Rhiwallon (Rivallonus) Extraneus".
Apparently Rhiwallon moved from Brittany to Mileham near Norfolk to join his nephew Alan fitz Flaad and his family before 1112, where he also became a favorite of Henry I and received the high honor of the grant of Cheswardine Manor in Shropshire and the prestigious marriage to Maud (Matilda) le Brun with her eventual inheritance of Hunstanton Manor, Norfolk from her father Ralph fitz Herluin de Hunstanton Domesday tenant. His first son John was born in 1132 at Cheswardine. The grant of Cheswardine and his marriage would have taken place there before 1131.
Le Strange Records, p5, provides a copy of Eyton's Castleacre Charter, that was passed about 1160 and it is at this time we start seeing Roland Le Strange the anglicized form of Rhiwallon (Rivallonus) Extraneus. This Charter also documents Roland's wife's name Matilda and the name of his children: John, Guy, Ralph and Hamon. More information on Roland Le Strange and his family is found in the attached 1916 Le Strange Records.
