Commentary

Keats-Rohan (p. 242) states that the successor of Hamon (I) in the early 1100s was Robert, and that a second Hamon had succeeded by 1166. Leycester (Ormerod 1:520) states that Hamon (II) was Hamon (I)’s son and heir and that Robert was (presumably) a younger son of Hamon (I). It is not clear whether, in light of Keats-Rohan’s evidence, Hamon (II) is the younger brother or the son of Hamon (I)’s son Robert. Or perhaps Robert had no children and Hamon (III) succeeded as his nephew.
