      1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “ROBERT DE GANT (or GAUNT), of Folkingham, Barton-upon-Humber, Edenham, and Heckington, Lincolnshire, Burley, Rutland, etc., 2nd son. He married (1st) before 10 August 1152 (date of charter) ALICE PAYNELL, widow of Richard de Courcy (living c.1140-7), and daughter and heiress of William Paynell, of Hooton Pagnell, Yorkshire, Saltby, Leicestershire, Irnham, Lincolnshire, etc., by Avice (or Amice) de Rumilly, daughter of William Meschin. They had one daughter, Avice. At an unspecified date, he and his wife, Alice, exchanged lands on the north side of the way called Levigatha for lands on the south side of the way with the abbot and monks of Vaudey. At an unknown date, he confirmed the former gift of William Paynell to Kirkstall Abbey of two carucates in Keighley, Yorkshire. At an unknown date, he confirmed to the canons of Drax all that William Paynell and Avice his wife gave to them in frank almoin. He likewise granted to the canons of Drax one carucate of land which William Paynell gave them and three tofts in Saltby, Leicestershire, also giving them one carucate of land of his demesne in the same manor and two tofts adjoining. His wife, Alice, died before 1180-81. He married (2nd) GUNNOR D'AUBENEY, daughter of Ralph d'Aubeney, of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire, by Sibyl, daughter of Thebaud de Valoines. They had two sons, Gilbert, Knt., and Stephen, and one daughter, Ellen. His wife, Gunnor, was co-heiress to her brother, Ralph d'Aubeney, by which she inherited the manors of Aubourn and Binbrook, Lincolnshire, and North Dalton, and Upper and Lower Naburn, Yorkshire. He was heir in 1185 to his niece, Alice de Gant, Countess of Huntingdon and Northampton. Sometime before 1186 he conveyed the advowson of the church of Irnham, Lincolnshire, together with one toft in Hunmanby, Yorkshire, to Bardney Abbey. Sometime before 1189 he and his wife, Gunnor, conveyed one bovate of land in the territory of Edenharn, Lincolnshire to the Abbey of St. Mary of Vaudey. Sometime before 1191, he and his nephew [nepos], Robert de Gant, witnessed a charter of Robert son of Peter Scot to Kirkstall Abbey. At an unknown date, he granted Robert de Well eight acres in Salterhaga near Skeridleby, Lincolnshire. ROBERT DE GANT died in 1191, and was buried at Vaudey Abbey, Lincolnshire. His widow, Gunnor, married (2nd) before 25 April 1197 (date of fine) (as his 2nd wife) NICHOLAS DE STUTEVILLE, of Cottingham, Yorkshire, Liddel, Cumberland, Kettleby Thorpe and Bigby, Lincolnshire, etc., 2nd son of Robert de Stuteville, of Cottingham, Yorkshire, by his wife, Helewise. On 25 April 1197 he and his wife, Gunnor, together with one of her sisters and her husband and the widower of her eldest sister, were plaintiffs in a final concord by which William d'Aubeney (their first cousin) recognized their right to the lands of Ralph d'Aubeney, namely a fee of 15 knights in Aubourn, Lincolnshire, and elsewhere in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. In 1205 he made a fine for having his inheritance of all the lands held by William de Stuteville his brother. He was one of the confederate barons who met at Stamford at Easter 1215, and was excommunicated by the Pope 16 Dec. 1215. In 1216 the sheriff of Carlisle was ordered to give William de Ireby seisin of the land which had belonged to Nicholas de Stuteville in the vale of Liddel, Cumberland. He was captured at Lincoln 20 May 1217. NICHOLAS DE STUTEVILLE died before 30 March 1218.
