Or De Gouis or Gouvis, from Gouviz, near Falaise. William, Sire de Gouviz (incorrectly ‘Souis’ in Wace), was at the battle of Hastings, and 1082 witnessed a charter of King William (Gall. Christ. xi.; Instr. 74), in which he is styled a baron. Alured, his son, held from the honour of Senlis in Cambridge, 1086 (Domesd.); Richard de Guiz, 1130, was granted lands in York by Hugh de Laval. In 1165 Robert de Guiz or Guz held lands in Cambridge (Liber Niger), and witnessed a charter for Bernewall Priory in that county (Mon. ii.). He was seized of Gouviz, Normandy, where he made grants to St. Barbe en Auge (Feod. Norm., i.; MSAN, vii. 97). Ralph, his son, had Andrew de Quiz of Cambridge, 1199 (Rotuli Curiae Regis). As one of the confederate barons his estates were confiscated, 1216, but restored to his brother, Robert de G., who had also grants in Normandy (Hardy, Rot. Norm. 93).
