Commentary
Cawley: "Sources relating to the Harcourt family were published by La Roque in the 17th century. The work is disappointing and compares unfavourably to similar studies, for instance, by Duchesne. Many of the documents in the “Preuves”, at least for the earlier generations of the family, are manuscript transcriptions for which source references are not provided. They are in most cases undated, but from the style and language many appear to be 16th and early 17th century copies. Other “sources” quoted by La Roque are clearly summaries of other documents, whose accuracy cannot be verified. Another problem with La Roque’s work is his long lists of children attributed to the heads of the Harcourt family in the 12th and 13th centuries, whose names are uncorroborated by source material (either his own “Preuves” or other sources). The tables showing the early generations of the Harcourt family in Europäische Stammtafeln appear to assume that the parentage of all these children is correctly reported by La Roque[920]. The branch of the family which settled in England is virtually ignored by La Roque."
