Hamo de Crevequer
Hamo de Crevequer (d. 1263) was Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports from 1262 until his death in 1263.
Hamo de Crevequer aquired property in Folkestone, Kent, England, from the barony of the family of Abrincis. It is recorded that from April the 29th, 1230, a market was held each Sunday by Hamo de Crevequer, until it was ordained by Henry III on 30 June 1233, that the market formally held in the churchyard should in future be held on de Crevequer's own land, but on a Saturday. By 1296 the market at Brenchley was being held by Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester and Hertford, and in 1312 de Clare claimed that his ancestors had held the market 'from time out of mind'.
De Clare followed Hamo de Crevequer, some years later as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
Family
Hamo de Crevequer's daughter Iseuld who was born between 1251-1286 was married to John de Sandwich. She later married Nicholas Merryweather sometime during the reign of King Edward I, but no specific date has yet been noted.
