William d'Évreux was a member of the Norman nobility at the time of William the Conqueror's ascendancy in Normandy. William was a son of Robert II Archbishop of Rouen and Count of Évreux and Herlevea.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Marburg, Germany: J. A. Stargardt, 1984), Tafel 79〕 As a member of the comital dynasty of Evreux, he was probably a supporter of Duke William during his consolidation of control in Normandy. He may also have been a member of the clergy as later generations of Devereux were hereditary chaplains to King Henry and King Stephen, and identified as members of the early form of the Exchequer in Normandy.〔Charles Johnson and HA Cronne (editors).

William retired from the court to become Prior of Sainte-Barbe in 1128, and was followed by his brother, Robert Devereux, who was treasurer into Stephen's reign. Gilbert had 5 sons all of whom were involved with the treasury, and two followed their brother to Saint-Barbe.〕 The Devereux family had lands at Lieuvin and Baiocasino in the pays d'Auge.〔〔Lands here were granted to the Priory of Sainte-Barbe by William Devereux for the soul of his father, Gilbert, before 1133, and the grant was confirmed by King Stephen in 1137. These lands were in the same region as d'Evreux's brother, Ralph de Gacé, Sire de Gace.〕 William married, , Hawisa d'Échauffour, widow of Robert de Grandmesnil〔M. Jackson Crispin and Leonce Macary.

Bohn, 1853), p. 395〕 Hawise eventually retired to become a nun at Montivilliers along with two of Judith's half-sisters.〔 Together William and Hawisa had a daughter: * Judith d'Évreux († 1076), married Roger I of Sicily〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Vol. II (Marburg, Germany: J.

As William d'Évreux's older siblings are well documented to have had no surviving male heirs, William provides the only potential source of this connection. One source〔The Norman People, And Their Existing Descendants In The British Dominions And The United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 1975.
