History

Daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc, 5th Earl of Chester, and Bertrade de Montfort of Evreux. She had four sisters and one brother, Ranulf, who succeeded his father as 6th Earl of Chester when he died when Hawise was one year old. In 1231 Ranulf resigned the title of Earl of Lincoln in Hawise's favour, making her Countess of Lincoln suo jure (in her own right), with which title she was formally invested by the King in 1232, the day after Ranulf's death. With her sisters, she was his co-heiress, and inherited the castle and manor of Bolingbroke as well as other large estates. Hawise married first Robert de Quincy, with whom she had one daughter, Margaret, who inherited her title and estates. She married secondly Sir Warren de Bostoke, with whom she had one son, Sir Henry de Bostoke.
