https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_d%27%C3%89vreux
William d'Évreux was a member of the Norman nobility at the time of William the 
Conqueror's ascendancy in Normandy.

William was a son of Robert II Archbishop of Rouen and Count of Évreux and 
Herlevea.[1] As a member of the comital dynasty of Évreux, he was probably a 
supporter of Duke William during his consolidation of control in Normandy. He may 
also have been a member of the clergy as later generations of Devereux were 
hereditary chaplains to King Henry and King Stephen, and identified as members of 
the early form of the Exchequer in Normandy.[2][3][4][a] The Devereux family had 
lands at Lieuvin and Baiocasino in the pays d'Auge.[4][b]

William married, c.?1040, Hawisa d'Échauffour, widow of Robert de Grandmesnil[5] 
and daughter of Giroie, Lord of Échauffour[6] and Gisle de Montfort-sur-Risle.[c][7] 
Orderic Vitalis names her, gives her parentage, her two husbands and seven children: 
six by her first marriage, one by her second to William.[8] Hawise eventually retired to 
become a nun at Montivilliers along with two of Judith's half-sisters.[6] Together 
William and Hawisa had a daughter:
Judith d'Évreux († 1076), married Roger I of Sicily[9][5]

The Devereux family in England which gave rise to the Viscounts of Hereford claims 
descent from the Norman family of d'Évreux. As William d'Évreux's older siblings are 
well documented to have had no surviving male heirs, William provides the only 
potential source of this connection. One source[10] claims that William, by an 
unidentified woman, was the father of:
William Devereux, he married Helewysa de Lacy[11][5]
Roger Devereux[11][5]
