There's no evidence (in the form of valid references) that this person existed at all. . . .LinguisticDemographer 16:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to Owen de la Pole. The passage of the de la Pole holdings to an English family is presumably of note in the history of Wales and the Marches, but the information given here isn't enough to warrant a standalone article. Choess 18:53, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

• WoW! Don't delete! Glad I stumbled upon this! I am certin that Historian Dr. John Davies mentions Hawise in his History of Wales, in connection to Powys passing from the Mathrafal line, dispite male claimants (who were givin land in England, I believe to uproot the princely family following the Edwardian Conquest). When I am home I will look it up. In my reseach so far, the male line of Mathrafal became Gwenwynwyn then de la Pole, moved to York, then became cheif financiers to the English monarchy, eventually to become Dukes of Suffolk until the mid-15th century, when they forfited their claim there. Ill go home soon and post what Davies says on the subject.Drachenfyre 14:31, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
