Hamelin De Warenne, Earl Of Surrey
Hamelin de Warenne, Earl of Surrey ( 1130 – 7 May 1202) (''alias'' Hamelin of Anjou and, anachronistically,"It is much to be wished that the surname "Plantagenet," which since the time of Charles II, has been freely given to all descendants of Geoffrey of Anjou, had some historical basis which would justify its use, for it forms a most convenient method of referring to the Edwardian kings and their numerous descendants. The fact is, however, as has been pointed out by Sir James Ramsay and other writers of our day, that the name, although a personal emblem of the aforesaid Geoffrey, was never borne by any of his descendants before Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York (father of Edward IV), who assumed it, apparently about 1448. V.G., ''The Complete Peerage'', Vol. 1, p. 183 note (c) Hamelin Plantagenet), was an Anglo- Angevin nobleman, being an elder half-brother of the first Plantagenet English monarch King Henry II.

He was a prominent nobleman in the region of Poitou, and lord (''seigneur'') d'Exoudun, de Melle, de Chizé, de Civray and de La Mothe. He also became Count of Eu (c. 1191), by marriage ('' de jure uxoris'') to Alix d'Eu.
