      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      "GILBERT FITZ GILBERT (nicknamed Strongbow), 2nd son, born probably about 1100. He married ISABEL OF MEULAN, former mistress of King Henry I [see ENGLAND 2], and daughter of Robert of Meulan (or de Beaumont), Count of Meulan, by Isabel (or Elizabeth), daughter of Hugues “le Grand,” Count of Crépy [see VERMANDOIS 5 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Richard [2nd Earl of Pembroke], and one daughter, Basilia. He consented to a gift of his mother, Alice, to Thorney Abbey dated c.1136-38. He was heir c.1137-38 to his uncle, Walter Fitz Richard, by which he inherited the barony of Chepstow, Monmouthshire and the manor of Hinxworth, Hertfordshire. He was created Earl of Pembroke by King Stephen in 1138. Sometime in the period, 1138-48, he granted the church of St. Mary, Southwark land in Great Parndon, Essex, together with the chapel and tithe of Torp [?Southorpe in Southchurch, Essex] and the tithe of Coptfold (in Margaretting), Essex, for the canons to build a hospice. About 1147-8 he issued a charter by which he confirmed the earlier grant by Roger Fitz Humphrey to the Templars of land in Inglewood (in Kintbury), Berkshire. GILBERT FITZ GILBERT, 1st Earl of Pembroke, died 6 Jan. 1147/8. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) RALPH BLUET, of Silchester, Hampshire and Lacock, Wiltshire. They had three sons, Ralph, Knt., Walter, and William. RALPH BLUET was living in 1167. Isabel was a benefactor of the nuns of Saint-Saens, to whom she gave half her mill of Eskekeville. This gift was subsequently confirmed c.1177 by King Henry II of England. She confirmed the gift of her son, Earl Richard, to Foucarmont Abbey, which act was confirmed by King Henry II of England in the period, 1185-89. Isabel was allegedly living in 1172.

      Children of Isabel of Meulan, by Ralph Bluet:
      1. RALPH BLUET (or BLOET), Knt., of Silchester, Hampshire, Daglingworth, Gloucestershire, and Lackham, Wiltshire, son and heir, born say 1150 (of age in 1174-5).* He married say 1177 (possibly as his 2nd wife) NEST OF WALES, former mistress of King Henry II [see ENGLAND 4], and daughter of Iorwerth ab Owain, lord of Caerleon, Monmouthshire, by Angharad, daughter of Uchdrud, Bishop of Llandaff. They had at least three sons, Ralph, William, Knt., and Roland (killed in Ireland in 1217), and at least two daughters, Alda (wife of Amaury le Despenser) and Emma [Abbess of Godstow]. About 1170 Ralph and his younger brother, Walter Bluet, together with their mother, Countess Isabel, witnessed a Welsh charter of his older half-brother, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Earl of Pembroke. In the period, 1174-9, he reached agreement with his neighbor, William Fitz Patrick, Earl of Salisbury regarding the church of Lacock, Wiltshire, which was in their common fee. About 1177 he gave the church of Daglingworth, Gloucestershire to Godstow Abbey, Oxfordshire, which gift was afterwards confirmed by his brother, Walter, and later by their nephew, William. He and his younger brother, William, were joint keepers of the Castle and honour of Striguil from 1185-8. In the period, 1189-94, he witnessed a charter of William Marshal, afterwards Earl of Pembroke [husband of his niece, Isabel de Clare] to Cat tale] Priory. He also witnessed an undated charter of Geoffrey Fitz Robert (husband of his half-sister, Basilia de Clare) to Duiske Abbey. SIR RALPH BLUET died about c.1196-9. About 1196-9 his widow, Nest, their son, Ralph, and his brothers granted the monastery rmonasteriuml of Duntesborne, Gloucestershire to Godstow Abbey, together with her daughter, presumably the Emma Bluet, who was later elected Abbess of Godstow in 1248. In 1200 Nest sued Robert Bluet in a plea regarding a half of hide of land in Daglingworth, Gloucestershire. In 1201 she sued her brother, Hywel de Caerleon, regarding the town of Caerleon, Monmouthshire. The same year she sued William de Brewes in a plea of land in Herefordshire. Arch.

[see Dugdale Monasticon Anglicanum 5 (1825): 266].

      i. MORGAN FITZ ROY, clerk. He was presumably born in 1176, the year following a great council held at Gloucester 29 June 1175, for the settling of the peace of South Wales and the borders, which council was attended by both King Henry II of England and Morgan's mother's father. Morgan occurs once as Archdeacon of Richmond, but without date. He was appointed Provost of Beverley by his half-brother, Geoffrey, Archbishop of York in 1201, which appointment was appealed by Simon, Dean of York, who alleged that the archbishop had promised the reversion of the provostship to him before the death of the previous provost, Robert. In the period, 1201-c. 1212, he witnessed a charter of Andrew, Prior of Kirkham, to the hospital of St. Peter, York. In 1207 there was a suit between Morgan, Provost of Beverley, and Robert the Constable the younger. In 1211 the king granted Morgan and his younger brother, Roland Bluet, temporary grace for a debt of 500 marks, which debt was still mentioned in 1212 and again in 1214. In 1212 Robert the Constable made acknowledgement to Morgan that the church of Halsham, Yorkshire was the right of St. John of Beverley by the gift of Robert the Constable his uncle. Morgan was elected Bishop of Durham between 7 March and 7 May 1215 on King John's suggestion. In 1216 King John granted a prebend to the Archdeacon of Poitou "if Morgan, Provost of Beverley, be promoted to a bishopric." Morgan travelled to Rome, but his election as bishop was quashed by the Pope due to his illegitimacy. He subsequently returned to England and took vows as a crusader. The Pope granted his benefices, as belonging to a crusader, to the Master of the Temple in England for the prosecution of the crusade. However, Morgan died intestate as oblate at Fountains Abbey in 1217, before he could set out. When it was learned that Morgan had resigned all of his benefices before his death, Pope Honorius III wrote a letter to Archbishop Walter Gray dated 6 Nov. 1217, in which he rescinded the earlier grant to the Master of the Temple; the same day he likewise sent a mandate to the Master of the Temple ordering him to pay the proceeds of the benefices in question to the persons collated to them.

      “HENRY nicknamed “Beauclerc,” King of England, Duke of Normandy, Count of Cotentin, 4th son, born in 1068 or 1069. He married (1st) 11 Nov. 1100 MAUD OF SCOTLAND, daughter of Malcolm III (CeannMor), King of Scots, by his 2nd wife, [Saint] Margaret, daughter of Edward Ætheling [see SCOTLAND 1 for her parentage]. She was born in 1079. They had one son, William, and one daughter, Maud. His wife, Maud, died at Westminster 1 May 1118. He married (2nd) at Windsor, Berkshire 29 Jan. 1121 ALICE (or AELIZ, ALEIDE, ALEYDA, AELIDIS, ADELIDE, ADELIDIS, ADELAIDIS, ADELIZA, ADELIZE, ATHELICE) OF LOUVAIN, daughter of Gottfried (or Godefroy) I, Duke of Lower Lorraine, Count of Louvain, by his 1st wife, Ida, daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny. She was born about 1103. They had no issue. By various mistresses, he had eight illegitimate sons, Robert [Earl of Gloucester], Richard, Fulk, Reynold [Earl of Cornwall], Robert, Gilbert, William de Tracy, and Henry, and nine illegitimate daughters, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Rotrou II, Count of Perche), Alice, Maud (or Mathilde) (wife of Conan III, Duke of Brittany), Juliane (wife of Eustache de Pacy, seigneur of Breteuil and Pacy), Mabel (wife of Guillaume Gouet, seigneur of Montmirail), Constance (wife of Roscelin de Beaumont), Aline (wife of Mathieu de Montmorency), Sibyl (wife of Alexander I, King of Scots), and Isabel.* HENRY I, King of England died at Lyons-la-Forêt (near Rouen), Normandy 1 Dec. 1135, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. His widow, Alice, married (2nd) after Dec. 1136 but later than summer 1139 WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, Earl of Lincoln, afterwards 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), hereditary Chief Butler of England, Privy Councillor to King Henry I [see CLIFTON 3]. They had four sons, William [2nd Earl of Arundel or Sussex], Reiner, Henry, and Godfrey, and two daughters, Alice (wife of Jean I, Count of Eu and Alvred de Saint Martin) and Olive. He was a witness to King Stephen's 2nd Charter of Liberties in 1136. He was created Earl of Lincoln c.1138. He gave shelter to Empress Maud at Arundel Castle in 1139, but afterwards adhered to King Stephen. His earldom was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex before Christmas 1141. In his own later charters he is styled Earl of Chichester. About 1145 he witnessed a charter of Henry Hussey as "Consul Willelmo de Cicesterr." His wife, Alice, presented to the prebend of West Dean in 1150. Alice, dowager Queen of England, died as a nun at Affligem Abbey in Brabant 25 (or 26) March 1151, and was buried at Reading Abbey, Berkshire. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, whereby the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, though the inheritance thereof was secured to Henry II. He subscribed his name to this instrument as "Comes Cicestrie." By grant dated c.1155, King Henry II confirmed to him as "William, Earl of Arundel" the Castle of Arundel, with the whole honour of Arundel and all its appurtenances. He served as Joint Ambassador to France and to the Pope in 1163/4. He served as Chief Ambassador with Princess Maud to Germany in 1168. He was appointed joint Commander of the royal army in Normandy in 1173. In Sept. 1173 he assisted in the defeat near Bury St. Edmunds of the Earl of Leicester. He founded Buckenham Abbey, Norfolk and Pynharn Priory, Sussex. WILLIAM D'AUBENEY, 1st Earl of Arundel (or Sussex), died at Waverley Abbey, Surrey 4 (or 12) October 1176, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk.
      [Footnote *: In 1824 the Scottish historian Chalmers stated that King Henry I of England had an illegitimate daughter, Elizabeth, who married Fergus, lord of Galloway (died 1161). [see Chalmers Caledonia 3 (1824): 250, footnote k ("Fergus [lord of Galloway] ... was a prince of some note, even at the court of Henry I. of England, is certain : as he took to wife, according to the heralds, genealogists, and chroniclers, Elizabeth, the natural daughter of Henry I.")]. Scots Peerage 4 (1907): 135-136 (sub Galloway), however, debunked Chalmers' statement, noting that the authorities quoted by Chalmers "do not bear out his assertion." Even so, other secondary sources have continued to repeat Chalmers' unfounded claim: See, for example, Mackenzie History of Galloway (1841): 167-172 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England"); Anderson Scottish Nation 2 (1862): 195 ("Fergus, lord of Galloway ... married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Henry I. of England ..."); M'Kerlie Galloway in Ancient & Modern Times (1891): 155 ("It is necessary to repeat here that Fergus married Elizabeth, the natural daughter of King Henry I. of England."); Maxwell Hist. of Dumfries & Galloway (1896): 47-48 ("Fergus ... married Elizabeth, natural daughter of Henry I., and sister of Sibilla, who married Alexander I., brother of David."); Ramsay Angevin Empire (1903): 90, footnote 7 ("Gunfrith [i.e., Godred] was son of Olaf, by Afreca, daughter of Fergus of Galloway, by 'Elisabeth,' reputed natural daughter of Henry I."); Oram Lordship of Galloway (2000): 60; Green Henry I, King of England & Duke of Normandy (2006): Appendix I, Chart 2 (chart). Barrow Robert Bruce (1965): 36, footnote 2 notes that "Roger Howden calls Uchtred son of Fergus of Galloway a cousin of King Henry II (Gesta Henrici Secundi Benedicti Abbatis, ed. Stubbs, Rolls Ser., i, 80)," a relationship which Professor Barrow states "is best explained on the supposition that Fergus married a bastard daughter of Henry I." However, given that King Henry II of England had a Scottish grandmother, a more likely explanation of the kinship between the Galloway and English royal families is that the wife of Fergus was near related to the Scottish royal family, possibly being a sister of William Fitz Duncan, whose grandfather was Malcolm Canmore, King of Scots [died 1093]. This arrangement would make Uchtred son of Fergus and King Henry II of England related in the 3rd degree of kindred (or second cousins).]

The first was William d'Aubigny pincerna who married Queen Adeliza, widow of King Henry I, and in her right became lord of the honour and castle of Arundel. He styles himself William Earl of Lincoln in three charters in which his identity is proved by references to his wife. They are in favour of Lewes Priory and the abbeys of Reading and Affligem-and in the case of Affligem there is also a charter of Adeliza referring to her husband as earl of Lincoln (Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville 3245; Warner and Ellis, Facsimiles, no. 14; E. de Marneffe, Cartulaire de l’abbaye de Affligem in Analectes pour servir à l’histoire ecclesiastique de la Belgique, 2o section, pp. 104,106). In royal charters it is usually impossible to distinguish him from his successor, William de Roumare, since the normal style of both was Willelmus comes de Lincolnia, or (before he was an earl) from his father, William d'Aubignypincerna, who died before June 1139 (Reg. iii. 973). If Robert de Torigny is right (Chronicles iv. 137) William had married Adeliza by September 1139, and it is tempting to assume that it was on his marriage that he was made earl of Lincoln, his connection with that county being that his mother, Maud Bigod, was a grand-daughter, and possible co-heiress, of Robert de Tosny of Belvoir. We do not know precisely when he was transferred from Lincoln to Sussex, but it was certainly by Christmas 1141 when he attested a charter as Comite Willelmo de Sudsexa (Reg. iii. 276).").
