Individual Details
Ada "Ada of Huntingdon" Huntingdon
(Abt 1200 - Abt 1242)
}
'''== Ada was only married once =='''
Please note that many sources and websites claim that Ada was married to Ralph de Brereton and/or William de Handsacre.
'''Ada of Huntingdon had but one husband, Sir Henry de Hastings'''. She did not marry (2nd) Sir Ralph de Brereton or William de Handsacre. The possibility exists that Sir Ralph de Brereton may have been married to her daughter, Ada de Hastings, widow of Sir Hubert Hovel. It is also possible that Sir Ralph de Brereton's widow married William de Handsacre. (See 'sources' below for link to posting by Douglas Richardson to SGM on this topic. Mr. Richardson also stated the existence of only one marriage for Ada in the latest edition of his book, "Magna Carta Ancestry".)
== Biography ==
She was the third daughter.
The following is from a 2008 posting by Douglas Richardson to SGM:
"Ada was certainly living in 1237, when she was co-heiress to her brother, John of Scotland, Earl of Chester and Huntingdon. She was likewise living in June 1241, when Stephen de Meverel sued William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and Agnes his wife regarding the advowson of Gatton, Staffordshire; William and Agnes appeared by attorney, and stated that the advowson formed part of the inheritance of Agnes, which fell to her by the death of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and that they could not answer without their co-parceners, , viz., Hugh de Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, Hawise de Quincy, Countess of Lincoln, Henry de Hastings and Ada his wife, Isabel de Brus, John de Balliol and Dervorgoil his wife, and William de Forz, and Christian his wife [see Colls. Hist. Staffs. 4 (1883): 90-102]. Ada was last known to be living 4 August 1241, but died before Trinity term 1242 (date of lawsuit) [see Curia Regis Rolls, 18 (1999): 21, 104–105, 193–194, 314, 335, 339; 19 (2002): 26, 48, 416].
"That Ada predeceased her husband, Sir Henry de Hastings, is further proven by the Pipe Rolls of 1247, which record that Henry de Hastings was then holding the manors of Condover and Worfield, Shropshire, “by reason of the heirs of Ada his wife whom he has by the said Ada” (that is, he was holding Ada's lands by courtesy of England) [see Eyton, Antiqs. of Shropshire 3 (1856): 108].
== Children ==Sir Henry and Ada had four known children, namely one son, Henry, Knt., and three daughters, Ada (wife of Hubert Hovel, Knt.), Margery, and Hillary (wife of William de Harcourt, Knt.).
