Children of Hugh le Bigod, by Maud Marshal:
i. ROGER LE BIGOD, Knt., 6th Earl of Norfolk, hereditary Steward of the Household, hereditary Warden of Romford Forest, Chief Justice Itinerant in cos. Essex and Hertford, 1234, Marshal of England, 1246 (in right of his mother), Warden of the Town and Castle of Tulac, 1249, Warden of the Coast of Norfolk and Suffolk, 1257, Privy Councillor, 1258, Joint Guardian of England, 1259, Constable of Colchester and Orford Castles, son and heir, born about 1209. He may have been the unnamed son of Hugh le Bigod who was held hostage by King John during the civil war of 1215-17, and whose capture perhaps occurred when Framlingham was surrendered to royalist forces in March 1216. He married at Alnwick, Northumberland 1 June 1225 ISABEL OF SCOTLAND, daughter of William the Lion, King of Scots, by Ermengarde, daughter of Richard de Beaumont, Vicomte of Beaumont [see SCOTLAND 4 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. While still under age, he entered into his inheritance in 1228. He was knighted by King Henry III at Gloucester in 1233. He unsuccessfully disputed Simon de Montfort's claim to the Stewardship at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor. In 1242 he served the king in the early part of the disastrous campaign in Poitou. In 1245 he was chief of the English delegation to the Council of Lyons, and chief of the plenipotentiarires to treat of peace between the Emperor and the Pope. The same year he repudiated his wife, nominally on the ground of consanguinity. He was compelled by ecclesiastical sentence to take her back in 1253. The king confirmed his mother's commission of the marshalcy to him in 1246. In 1253 he witnessed a sentence of excommunication and anathema against violators of the liberties of the church and of the realm. In 1254 he brought over the king's message to the Grand Council for a supply of money. In 1257 he was member of an abortive embassy to France to demand certain rights. In 1258 he served as one of the ambassadors to attend the conference at Cambray. His wife, Isabel, appears to have been living in Gloucestershire in October 1263. Her exact date of death is unknown, but she was buried in the Black Friars, London. In 1270 he wrote the king asking him to allow Roger, son of his brother Hugh, to be his attorney as Marshal. SIR ROGER LE BIGOD, 6th Earl of Norfolk, died 3 (or 4) July 1270, and was buried 10 July at Thetford, Norfolk. Clutterbuck Hist. & Antiqs. of Hertford 2 (1821): 510-511 (Marshal-Bigod ped.).

Children of Mabel of Chester, by William d'Aubeney:
i. HUGH D'AUBENEY, Knt., 5th Earl of Arundel, Chief Butler of England, 2nd son of William d'Aubeney, 3rd Earl of Arundel, by Mabel, 2nd daughter of Hugh, Earl of Chester. He was born about 1214 (of age in 1235). He was heir in 1224 to his older brother, William d'Aubeney, 4th Earl of Arundel. He was co-heir in 1232 to his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. In 1233 he made fine with the king by 2500 marks to have the lands of his late brother, William d'Aubeney, Earl of Arundel, until his legal age, as well as the lands which fell to Hugh by hereditary right of the lands formerly of his uncle, Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln. He married in 1234 ISABEL DE WARENNE, daughter of William de Warenne, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey, Warden of the Cinque Ports, by Maud, daughter of William Marshal, Knt, 4th Earl of Pembroke (or Striguil), hereditary Master Marshal [see WARENNE 8 for her ancestry]. They had no issue. In 1240 he was summoned to restore the manor of Whaddon, Buckinghamshire to the king as an escheat of the Normans. Hugh stated that he, his brother, and his father had all been given livery of the lands, but, though he quoted the terms of the original grant made to his father in 1207, Whaddon was surrendered to the king. In 1242 he accompanied the King in his expedition to Guienne. SIR HUGH D'AUBENEY, Earl of Arundel, died 7 May 1243, and was buried at Wymondham Priory, Norfolk. In 1244 his widow, Countess Isabel, sued Robert de Sheney for the third part of one carucate of land in Smisby, Derbyshire, and Ralph de Kenninghall for the third part of nine acres of land and one acre pf pasture in Kenninghall, Norfolk, and the one third part of 14 acres of land in Riddlesworth, Norfolk. The same year she also sued Thomas le Treys for the third part of one carucate of land in Atdeborough, Norfolk, William de Oddingseles for the third part of one-half carucate of land in Leeds, Yorkshire, Roger de Somery and Nichole his wife for the third part of two carucates of land in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, and one third part of one carucate of land in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, and Hugh le Bigod for the one third part of one carucate of land in Stoughton, Sussex. In 1249 Countess Isabel founded the Abbey of Marham, Norfolk. She presented to the church of Shenley, Buckinghamshire in 1272. In 1271 Roger de Somery was engaged in a lengthy lawsuit with her regarding the advowson of the church of Olney, Buckinghamshire; in 1273 it was noted that the patronage of the church was to remain with Roger by a concord between him and Countess Isabel. In 1277-8 Master John de Croft arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Bilsham, Sussex. In 1278-9 Nigel le Got arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against her and others touching a tenement in Wymondham, Norfolk. Isabel, Countess of Arundel, died shortly before 23 Nov. 1282, and was buried at Marham, Norfolk. Blomefield Essay towards a Top.

4. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,†Douglas Richardson (2013):
"ISABEL DE WARENNE, Countess of Surrey, daughter and heiress. She married (1st) WILLIAM OF ENGLAND, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and, in right of his wife, 4th Earl of Surrey, 2nd but eldest surviving son and heir of Stephen, King of England, by Maud, daughter and heiress of Eustace, Count of Boulogne [see BRABANT 3 for his ancestry]. He was born between 1132-7. They had no issue. He became Count of Boulogne and Mortain on the death of his older brother, Eustache, in August 1153. He was knighted by King Henry II at Carlisle in 1158. At an unknown date, he confirmed the previous gift of his father, King Stephen, to the nuns of Ste.-Marie of Mortain. He died on the Toulouse expedition in October 1159, and was buried in the hospital of Montmorillon in Poitou. His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) in 1164 (probably in April) HAMELIN, vicomte of Touraine, and, in right of his wife, 5th Earl of Surrey, Advocate of St. Berlin, illegitimate son of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, Duke of Normandy [see ENGLAND 3]. He was half-brother to Henry II, King of England. They had one son, William [6th Earl of Surrey], and three daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1164, and joined in the denunciation of Archbishop Thomas as a traitor. In 1173 he supported King Henry II against his sons. In 1176 he was one of the nobles who escorted Joan, daughter of King Henry II, for her marriage to the King of Sicily. In the period, 1178-1202, Robert de Pormort sold to Hamelin, Earl of Surrey all the fee which the said Robert,held of the earl, in Louveautuit in Normandy for 65 marks and 25 l. of Anjou. He was present at the first coronation of King Richard I in 1189. In the king's absence, he supported the chancellor against the intrigues of the king's brother, John [later King John]. In 1193 he was one of the treasurers for the ransom of King Richard I. At King Richard I's second coronation in 1194, he bore one of the three swords. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 1200 he was granted a weekly market at Conisborourgh, Yorkshire. In 1201 strife arose between Hugh, Abbot of Cluny and Hamelin, Earl Warenne concerning the appointment and institution of the Prior of Lewes; the matter was settled by the mediation of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eustace, Bishop of Ely, and Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Justiciar of England. In 1202 he granted the advowson of the church of Leigh, Surrey to the Priory of St. Mary Overy, Southwark. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey (or Warenne), died 7 May 1202. In 1202-3 his widow, Isabel, granted a virgate of land to Richard son of Robert, of Combe. She was living April 1203, but probably died soon afterwards, possibly 12 July 1203. They were buried in the chapter-house at Lewes.

His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 1196 GILBERT DE L'AIGLE, of Pevensey, Sussex, Greywell, Hampshire, Westcote (in Dorking) and Witley, Surrey, etc., seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, son and heir of Richer III de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, by his wife, Odeline (or Edeline). They had three sons, Gilbert, Richer, and William, and one daughter, Alice (wife of John de Lacy, Knt., Constable of Chester, 1st Earl of Lincoln). He went to Normandy shortly before 1200. In Michaelmas term 1200 his wife, Isabel, complained before the justices of the bench that Roger, Constable of Chester, had disseised her of dower given her by her former husband, Robert de Lacy. Gilbert's lands were seized in 1204 because of his opposition to King John. In 1207 William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, gave 3000 marks to have custody of his lands for the use of his sister, Gilbert's wife. In 1208 he had a partial restitution of his lands, but appears to have fallen off again. In 1216 the king sent him a message, urging him to return to fealty, and offering to restore all his lands if he did so. In April 1226 he had license to pass to and from Normandy. In Sept. 1226 his English lands were taken into the king's hands, possibly as a pledge for his loyalty to King Henry III. His lands were restored the following spring on payment of a fine of 500 marks. His wife, Isabel, was a legatee in the 1228 will of Richard de Elmham, Canon of St. Martin le Grant, London, who bequeathed her a box for sacred ceremonial objects. In 1229 he founded the Priory of the Holy Trinity at Michelharn, Sussex. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his expedition to France. The same year Juliane de Pevensey arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert de l'Aigle regarding a tenement in Hailsham, Sussex; in 1232 Juliane was amerced 10s. for a false claim. Gilbert was a benefactor of Chaise-Dieu Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Priory, and also confirmed the gifts of his predecessors to Trappe Abbey. GILBERT DE L'AIGLE died shortly before 19 Dec. 1231. On 16 Jan. 1232 his widow, Isabel, was assigned dower out of Gilbert's lands in Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire. At an unknown date, his wife, Isabel, received one-third of the manor of Northease (in Rodmell), Sussex from her brother, William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, in exchange for lands in Yorkshire. She gave this one third interest in frank almoin to Michelham Priory. Isabel died without surviving legitimate issue shortly before 30 Nov. 1234. In Dec. 1234 the king granted all the lands late of Gilbert de l'Aigle, with the advowsons of churches, services of knights, and free men to Gilbert Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. Hasted Hist. & Top.

Child of Isabel de Warenne, by Gilbert de l'Aigle:
a. ALICE DE L'AIGLE, married JOHN DE LACY, Knt., of Pontefract, Yorkshire, hereditary Constable of Chester [see LACY 3].
v. ___ DE WARENNE (daughter), mistress of John, King of England [see ENGLAND 5].* Child of ___ de Warenne, by John, King of England:
a. RICHARD FITZ ROY (otherwise DE WARENNE, also styled DE CHILHAM), of Chilhatn, Kent, married ROSE DE DOVER [see ATHOLL 9].
* The mother of King John's illegitimate son, Richard Fitz Roy, is identified by the 13th Century chronicler, Robert of Gloucester, as the "erles doughter of wareine" [that is, the daughter of the Earl of Warenne]. Contemporary records lend support for this parentage, as Richard Fitz Roy was styled as an adult as "Richard de Warenne" [see, for example, Curia Regis Rolls 16 (1979): 232 ("Ricardus de Warenn' filius regis Johannis"), 450 ("Ricardus de Warein"); Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum 2 (1844): 523]. Richard Fitz Roy also used the surname Warenne on his personal seal [see Birch Cat. Seals in the British Museum 3 (1894): 640]. Richard Fitz Roy's maternal grandfather, Hamelin, Earl of Warenne, had three known daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel, conceivably any one of whom could have been Richard's mother. Richard Fitz Roy, however, occurs in two contemporary records listed side by side Isabel's 2nd husband, Gilbert de l'Aigle [see C.P.R. 1216-1225 (1901), page 70; C.P.R. 1225-1232 (1903): 357-362]. Richard also had a daughter named Isabel, but none named Maud or Ela. These pieces of evidence may be considered a good indication but not conclusive evidence that Richard Fitz Roy was the son of Isabel de Warenne."
