He married before 5 Feb. 1243/4 JOAN DE STUTEVILLE, widow of Hugh Wake [see WAKE 7], of Bourne, Lincolnshire, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, etc. (died in the Holy Land before 18 Dec. 1241), and daughter and heiress of Nicholas de Stuteville, of Liddel, Cumberland, and Cottingham, Yorkshire, by Devorguille, daughter of Roland Fitz Uchtted, lord of Galloway. They had four sons, Roger [5th Earl of Norfolk], Ralph, John (clerk), and Richard, and four daughters, Elizabeth, Rohese, Maud, and Joan. In 1251 he witnessed the foundation charter of Marham Abbey, Norfolk, founded by his half-sister, Isabel de Warenne, Countess of Arundel. In 1257 he accompanied the king in his expedition into Wales. He was made Justiciar of England by the Barons in 1257. About the end of 1260, he resigned the position of justiciar, probably from dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Barons. In 1263 he joined the royal party. He was present on the king's side at the Battle of Lewes 14 May 1264, but fled from the field. SIR HUGH LE BIGOD died testate shortly before 7 May 1266.

Sometime before 1276 she alienated a quarter of the vill of Whissendine, Rutland. Joan died shortly before 5 April 1276.

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.).
