Research Notes:
1st Earl of Wiltshire, of Earldom cr 1139 [Ref: CP XII/2 p727]
Earl of Wiltshire [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p496]

heir of his father [Ref: CP XII/2 p727, Richardson RoyalAnc v1p499]

his appearance is somewhat of a mystery. According to William Malmesbury, writing about the trial of Bishop Roger in 1139, Herve of Leon had been invited to England by Henry I, but his haughtiness had prevented his acceptance. Herve vicomte of Leon in 1128 was the grandfather of Herve II (fl 1149-68), who called himself count of Leon. England's Herve of Leon has to be identified with Herve II on chronological grounds, though Henry's invitation is likely to have been to Herve I. Why the invitation was issued is unknown, though it could have been related to the fact that Henry's daughter Maud was duchess of Brittany from c.1116, and that Count Stephen, lord of Richmond, was domiciled in Brittany. Stephen's wife Havise was possibly a close relative of Herve I. Such a relationship would have created an affinity between Leon and Henry's family, helping to account also for the fact that Herve II married a daughter of King Stephen. [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p241]

1141: created Earl of Wiltshire; also received the honour of Eye [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p241]

Herve was a disaster in his new post and was soon obliged to leave it, returning to Brittany where he spent the rest of his life [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p241]
