Dougls Richardson has found evidence ythat she was a Blakenha, sgm, 16 Nov 2004:

"The published Edington Cartulary includes the abstract of a quitclaim
in fee dated 1297 from Bennet de Blakenham, son and heir of Bennet de
Blakenham, to Hugh and Alice de Saint Philibert.  This document
clearly identifies Alice, wife of Hugh, as the sister of Bennet de
Blakenham the younger.  The abstract reads as follows:

"622. 20 Oct. 1297.  Quitclaim in fee from Bennet, son and heir of
Bennet de Blakenham, to Hugh de Sancto Philberto and his wife Alice,
Bennet's sister, and to Alice's heirs, of his manors of Etone Hasting,
Westwell, Thormertone, and Southrop, and the advowsons of the church
of Etone Hasting and the chapel of Thormerton, with dower from the
said manors when it occurs.   Witnesses: Warin de Lisle, Richard de
Colleshulle, Geoffrey de Turburwill, John de Lenham, knights, John de
Speresholte, Ralph de la Stane, William de Sancto Mauro, William de
Raumpayn, Thomas Alewy, Adam de Fauelore, John Cokerel.  Braye, Sunday
after St. Luke, 25 Edward I."  END OF QUOTE.  [Reference: Janet H.
Stevenson, Edington Cartulary (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 42) (1987): 159].

"Judging from the chronology, it appears that Alice (de Blakenham) de
St. Philibert is the sister of _____ de Blakenham (daughter of Bennet
de Blakenham), 2nd wife of Mattthew de Lovaine.  The Lovaine couple
are ancestral to Sir William Bourchier, Count of Eu (died 1420),
husband of Anne of Gloucester, granddaughter of King Edward III.
Further information on the Blakenham family can be found in the book,
Suffolk Fines, by Rye."
