It is in this era where we begin seeing variations in this familyname, shifting gradually from the French Norman naming pattern to themodern English "surname" pattern of usage. Some branches of thefamily still call themselves Le Strange, but the simple Strange ismore common.

This source gives the place of John's death as Bedford. This could bea typographical slip, substituting the common name Bedford for theBideford that keeps recurring in the family line. But Bedford isanother town in the county of Devon, so could have been intended.

A couple of sources also have Bedfordshire. This may also be an errorconfusing the county name with Bedford town in Devon.
