The le Strange legend that
has been repeated through successive generations can
be found in part of an epic tale, the Romance of
Fouke le fitz Warine. This French prose which was
written by an unknown author in traditional trouverian style of the 13th century, was
translated and reproduced in early medieval times for its popularity gained by the
declared outlaw Fulk who is otherwise known as Fulk the son of Warine II. It is a
story set in the 11th century A.D. wherein it begins with a certain lady, Mellette,
who features as the outlaw's grandmother in her youth, she was united with her
husband Guy of Metz, whom otherwise was known in France from whence he came,
as Guarine or Warine de Metz.
The chapter conveys how the le Strange family was founded, prior to the Warines,
when Mellette, a beautiful damsel has a jousting tournament arranged for by her
wealthy uncle, William Peverel. This was held in the time of William the Conqueror,
in 1083 at his Castle Peveril in the Peak of Derbyshire England (shown above), and
this is where she was expected to find a suitable husband, to which she
replied:
Noble-men eager to win her as their bride together with dowry including the
attractive white tower of white town, known as Whittington Castle Shropshire,
came from every corner; Scotland, Wales and France. The two most salubrious
guests, Owen Prince of Wales, and Eneas, Prince of Scotland, brought 200 knights
along, - the Duke of Burgundy outnumbered them with a hundred more. Ydromor,
Prince of Galloway came with a modest 150 men, but Guy (Guarine de Metz France
), son of John, Duke of Brittany, (Johan duc de la Petite-Bretagene), came with only
a hundred, plus his 9 brothers.
Ultimately, Guy, with his life spared, victoriously claimed his wife, Mellette, whom
already expressed her interest in him by sending over her glove. It continues... '.....
Guy remained in England: And conquered, by the force of his sword, many beautiful
lands, and so was named Guy le Strange ....'

- 'Sire' no knight is there in all the world that I would take for the sake of
riches and the honour of this land but if ever I take such a one he shall be
handsome and courteous and accomplished and the most valiant of his order in all
Christendom. Of riches I make no account, for truly can I say that he is rich who has
that which his heart desires' from: Mellette, 'The Romance of Fouk le fitz Warine'
