      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.
