Notes for Alexander de Hampden (born Culworth)
Probably inherited the Lohereng holding of Gt Hamptden from his mother.

Dec 2006, TFPL: I found this snippet:

How is this Alexander to be linked up with the Domesday tenant Osbert ? The answer is to be found in a suit in the Curia Regis in 1220 between Alexander de Hampden and Simon de Pinkeny for possession of the Manor of Morton Pinkney (in Northants).[Cal. Curia Regis Rolls, viii, 252] In support of his claim Alexander alleged that his ancestor Reinerus de Lohereng was seised of the manor in the time of Henry I, from whom it descended to Alice, daughter and heiress of Reinerus. Alice's son and heir, Alexander, succeeded to this property, to be succeeded in turn by Reginald, father of the claimant.
†††† Reinerus de Lohereng was probably the son and heir of the Domesday tenant Osbert, though we have no direct proof of this at present; it seems clear that he inherited both Great Hampden and Morton Pinkney. Alice, his daughter, must be assumed to have married Richard de Culworth, as otherwise the Hampden pedigree falls to the ground. In support of this assumption, it may be pointed out that Culworth and Morton Pinkney are adjoining parishes, and also that in the Kingshill charter referred to it is specifically mentioned that the grant of which the charter was a confirmation had been made to the Abbey by Alexander's father and mother, thus implying that his mother had some power of disposition over the Hampden property.
