Eustace, perhaps Eustace de Whitney, parentage unknown, but younger brother of Robert de Whitney,[1] flourished about 1250.[2]
Sometime between 1230 and 1264,[3] Robert de Whitney, lord of the parish of Whitney, gave to St. Cynidr and Friar Stephen, and his successors in the hermitage, nine acres of land in the old "Hay" (perhaps Mill Haugh Farm) which lay near the land of his brother Eustace, "persson of Pencombe", and the wood of the Lord of Winforton, and the Lord Llewelyn ap Llewelyn ap Eynon.[4]
He was parson of Pencombe, Herefordshire.[5]
No known children of Eustace.
