  === Life Sketch ===
  William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lincoln and 1st Earl of Arundel (c. 1109 - 12 October 1176), also known as William d'Albini, William de Albini and William de Albini II, was an English nobleman. He was the son of William d'Aubigny "Pincerna" of Old Buckenham Castle in Norfolk, and Maud Bigod, daughter of Roger Bigod of Norfolk.
  
  ***[According to Cokayne: In the Anglo-Latin of Dugdale his name is Albini . In a footnote is stated: "Of course, no one ever bore such a name as de Albini ; the modern surname Daubeney indicates what the name of these Earls was." V.G.]***
  
  Life and career
  William fought loyally for King Stephen of England, who made him first Earl of Arundel (more precisely, Earl of Sussex) (c.1138) and then Earl of Lincoln. In 1153 he helped arrange the truce between Stephen and Henry Plantagenet, known as the Treaty of Wallingford, which brought an end to The Anarchy. When the latter ascended the throne as Henry II, he confirmed William's earldom and gave him direct possession of Arundel Castle (instead of the possession in right of his wife (d.1151) he had previously had). He remained loyal to the king during the 1173 revolt of Henry the Young King, and helped defeat the rebellion.
  
  In 1143, as Earl of Lincoln, he made two charters confirming a donation of land around Arundel in Sussex to the abbey of Affligem in Brabant (representing his wife Adeliza of Louvain), with William's brother, Olivier, present.
  He was the builder of Castle Rising Castle at Castle Rising, Norfolk.
  
  William is the first proven English supporter of the crusader Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem and before 1146 had granted them land at Wymondham and built a Leper Hospital near his castle in Norfolk. His wife, Adeliza, was also a major benefactor to leper hospitals at Wilton, Wiltshire and Arundel and his cousin, Roger de Mowbray and his family, were to become the most significant patrons of the Order's headquarters at Burton Lazars Hospital.
  
  Marriage and issue
  The younger William was an important member of Henry I of England's household. After Henry's death, William married his widow, Queen Adeliza in 1138. William and Adeliza were parents to the following children:
  1. William d'Aubigny, 2nd Earl of Arundel (d. 24 December 1193)
  2. Reynor d'Aubigny
  3. Henry d'Aubigny
  4. Geoffrey d'Aubigny
  5. Alice d'Aubigny (d. 11 September 1188)

  === A. EARLS of ARUNDEL [1138/39]-1243 (ALBINI) ===
  The family of Albini (Aubigny) was from Saint-Martin-d'Aubigny in the present day French département of Manche. After the Norman conquest, the castle of Arundel was first possessed by Roger de Montgommery, who was created an earl in 1067 and is generally recognised as Earl of Shrewsbury. His son, Robert de Bellême Comte d'Alençon and Earl of Shrewsbury lost his English honours and estates after his attainder in 1102. Arundel castle was retained by the crown until it was settled on William de Albini on his marriage to Queen Adelisa, widow of King Henry I, in [1138/39]. He was created Earl of Arundel by King Stephen in [1142], although he is also referred to as Earl of Chichester and Earl of Sussex. On the death without male heirs of Hugh de Albini Earl of Arundel in 1243, the title reverted to the crown. The castle and honour of Arundel were inherited by Hugh’s nephew John FitzAlan, the son of his older sister Isabel. The FitzAlan family did not use the title Earl of Arundel until it was awarded to John's grandson, Richard FitzAlan, in 1289 by King Edward I. After the attainder of Edmund FitzAlan Earl of Arundel in 1326, the title was given to Edmund Earl of Kent, son of Edward I King of England, but it was forfeited once more after the attainder of Earl Edmund in 1330. Richard FitzAlan, son of his predecessor, was fully restored to his honours by King Edward III in 1331. Yet another interval in the tenure of the FitzAlan family followed the attainder of Richard FitzAlan in 1397, after which John de Holand Duke of Exeter was granted the castle and honour of Arundel. It is not clear whether he was ever created Earl of Arundel but, whatever the case, all his honours were forfeited after his own attainder in 1400. After helping King Henry IV to the throne, Thomas FitzAlan was fully restored to his father's honours in 1400 and thereby became Earl of Arundel. The supremacy of the earldom over all other earldoms was confirmed in 1446 after this precedence was challenged by Thomas Courtenay Earl of Devon[1]. The earldom passed to the Howard family after the death in 1580 of Henry FitzAlan Earl of Arundel, the late earl being succeeded by his grandson Philip Howard Earl of Surrey.

  === It happened that the Queen of France, b ===
  It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very beautiful woman, became much in love with a knight from an other country, who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth; and because she thought that no man excelled him in valor, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein, according to their respective abilities; and concluded that if the person whom she so well affected should act his part better than others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonor to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from foreign parts hasting to Paris, amongst others came this our William de Albini, bravely accoutered, and in the tournament excelled all others, overcoming many, and wounding one mortally with his lance, which being observed by the queen, she became exceedingly enamored of him, and forthwith invited him to a costly banquet, and afterwards bestowing certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage; but, having plighted his troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her, whereat she grew so discontented that she consulted with her maids how she might take away his life; and in pursuance of that design, inticed him into a garden, where there was a secret cave, and in it a fierce lion, unto which she descended by divers steps, under color of showing him the beast; and when she told him of its fierceness, he answered, that it was a womanish and not a manly quality to be afraid thereof. But having him there, by the advantage of a folding door, thrust him to the lion; being therefore in this danger, he rolled his mantle about his arm, and putting his hand into the mouth of the beast, pulled out his tongue by the root; which done, he followed the queen to her palace, and gave it to one of her maids to present her. Returning thereupon to England, with the fame of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith advanced to the Earldom of Ar undel, and for his arms the Lion given him. Adeliza had the castle of Arundel in dowry from her deceased husband, the monarch, and thus her new lord became its feudal earl, 1st Earl of Arundel in this family. The earl was one of those who solicited the Empress Maud to come to England, and received her and her brother Robert, Earl of Gloucester, at the port of Arundel, in August 1139, and in three years afterwards (1142), in the report made of King Stephen's taking William de Mandeville at St. Albans, it is stated "that before he could be laid hold on, he underwent a sharp skirmish with the king's party, wherein the Earl of Arundel, though a stout and expert soldier, was unhorsed in the midst of the water by Walceline de Oxeai, and almost drowned." In 1150, he wrote himself Earl of Chichester, but we find him styled again Earl of Arundel, upon a very memorable occasion, namely, the reconciliation of Henry, Duke of Normandy, afterwards King Henry II., and King Stephen at the siege of Wallingford Castle in 1152. "It was scarce possible," says Rapin, "for the armies to part without fighting. Accordingly the two leaders were preparing for battle with equal ardor, when, by the prudent advice of the Earl of Arundel, who was on the king's side, they were prevented from coming to blows." A truce and peace followed this interference of the earl's, which led to the subsequent accession of Henry after Stephen's decease, in whose favor the earl stood so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the castle and honor of Arundel, but a confirmation of the Earldom of Sussex, of which county he was really earl, by a grant of the Tertium Denarium of the pleas of the shire. In 1164, we find the Earl of Arundel deputed with Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, to remonstrate with Louis, King of France, upon according an asylum to Thomas a Becket within his dominions, and on the failure of that mission, dispatched with the archbishop of York, the Bishops of Winchester, London , Chichester, and Exeter, Wido Rufus, Richard de Invecestre, John de Oxford (priests), Hugh de Gundevile, Bernard de St. Valery, and Henry Fitzgerald, to lay the whole affair of Becket at the foot of the pontifical throne. Upon levying the aid for the marriage of the king's daughter, in the 12th year of Henry II., the knight's fees of the honor of Arundel were certified to be ninety-seven, and those in Norfolk, belonging to the earl, forty-two. In 1173, we find the Earl of Arundel commanding, in conjunction with William, Earl of Mandeville, the king's army in Normandy, and compelling the French monarch to abandon Verneuil after a long siege, and in the next year, with Richard de Lucy, Justice of England, defeating Robert, Earl of Leicester, then in rebellion at St. Edmundbury. This couple had four sons and three daughters, with data only available for the one son and one daughter contained herein.

Also, asthe 1st Earl of Arundel, he built the original keep at Arundel Castle. Castle Rising booklet: William de Albini. His marriage to Alice ofLouvain, widow of King Henry I, "brought the young Albini at once to theclose-knit and immensely powerful Anglo-Norman aristocracy wherein his father had won aplace by loyal service to two former kings. A hostilechronicler...asserts,indeed, that he now became intolerably puffed up, would recognise no one as hispeer, and looked down upon every other eminence in the world except that ofkings. Alice the Queen, moreover, brought him not only status and prestige, butralso new lordships, honors, lands and power. Through her he acquired thehonour of Arundel in Sussex, which were her dower, and also an earldom. At the timeof his marriage he was made Earl of Lincoln, and thereafter, and instead, inabout 1141, Earl of Sussex, alias of Arundel, alias of Chicester." "The keep(or great tower or donjon) is the finest building in the castle, and wasmeant to be; it was not only the strongest building but also it contained the best residential accommodation for the Albini lord of Rising. Architecturally,like others of its kind, it both symbolises and embodies lordship, and hencethe medieval word for such place, donjon, derived from the Latin dominium,meaning lordship." Young: William d'Aubigny, Earl of Arundel, married Adeliz the Queen.

  Earl of /Arundel/ Note 2nd husband of Adeliza of Lorraine Wife (Facts Pg) Adeliza, widow of King Henry I The Conqueror and His Companions by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874: Of William de Albini, third son and successor of William II, and Maud leBigod, a romantic story has been invented to account for the lion rampantsubsequently borne by his descendants. Having captivated the heart of the Queen Dowager of France by his gallantconduct in a tournament at Paris, she offered to marry him, an honourwhich he respectfully declined, having already given his word and faithto a lady in England, another Queen Dowager, no less a personage thanAdeliza, widow of King Henry 1 of England. His refusal so angered theFrench Queen, that she laid a plot with her attendants to destroy him byinducing him to enter a cave in her garden, where a lion had been placedfor that purpose; but the undaunted Earl, rolling his mantle round hisarm, thrust his hand into the lion's mouth, tore out its tongue, and sentit to the Queen by one of her maids. "In token of which noble and valiantact," says Brooke, in his "Catalogue of Nobility," "this William assumedto bear for his arms a lion gold in a field gules, which his successorsever since continued." As this third William de Albini died as late as 1176, it is possible bemight have assumed armorial bearings, but the lion was more probablyfirst borne by his son, the second Earl of Arundel of the line ofAubigny, in token of his descent from Adeliza, widow of Henry l, in whosereign we have the earliest evidence of golden lions being adopted as apersonal decoration, if not strictly an heraldic bearing.
  
  === William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lincoln and 1st Earl of Arundel ===
  William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lincoln and 1st Earl of Arundel (c. 1109 - 12 October 1176[1]), also known as William d'Albini, William de Albini and William de Albini II, was an English nobleman. He was the son of William d'Aubigny "Pincerna" of Old Buckenham Castle in Norfolk, and Maud Bigod, daughter of Roger Bigod of Norfolk.
  
  William fought loyally for King Stephen of England, who made him first Earl of Arundel (more precisely, Earl of Sussex) (c. 1138) and then Earl of Lincoln.

  === William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lincoln a ===
  William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Lincoln and 1st Earl of Arundel – 12 October 1176), also known as William d'Albini, William de Albini and William de Albini II, was an English nobleman. He was the son of William d'Aubigny "Pincerna"[a] of Old Buckenham Castle in Norfolk, and Maud Bigod, daughter of Roger Bigod of Norfolk.
  
  William fought loyally for King Stephen of England, who made him first Earl of Arundel (more precisely, Earl of Sussex) (c.1138) and then Earl of Lincoln. In 1153 he helped arrange the truce between Stephen and Henry Plantagenet, known as the Treaty of Wallingford, which brought an end to The Anarchy. When the latter ascended the throne as Henry II, he confirmed William's earldom and gave him direct possession of Arundel Castle (instead of the possession in right of his wife (d.1151) he had previously had). He remained loyal to the king during the 1173 revolt of Henry the Young King, and helped defeat the rebellion.
  In 1143, as Earl of Lincoln, he made two charters confirming a donation of land around Arundel in Sussex to the abbey of Affligem in Brabant (representing his wife Adeliza of Louvain), with William's brother, Olivier, present.
  He was the builder of Castle Rising Castle at Castle Rising, Norfolk.
  William is the first proven English supporter of the crusader Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem and before 1146 had granted them land at Wymondham and built a Leper Hospital near his castle in Norfolk. His wife, Adeliza, was also a major benefactor to leper hospitals at Wilton, Wiltshire and Arundel and his cousin, Roger de Mowbray and his family, were to become the most significant patrons of the Order's headquarters at Burton Lazars Hospital.
  
  William was an important member of Henry I of England's household. After Henry's death, William married his widow, Queen Adeliza in 1138.
  
  === It happened that the Queen of France, b ===
  It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very beautiful woman, became much in love with a knight from an other country, who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth; and because she thought that no man excelled him in valor, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein, according to their respective abilities; and concluded that if the person whom she so well affected should act his part better than others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonor to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from foreign parts hasting to Paris, amongst others came this our William de Albini, bravely accoutered, and in the tournament excelled all others, overcoming many, and wounding one mortally with his lance, which being observed by the queen, she became exceedingly enamored of him, and forthwith invited him to a costly banquet, and afterwards bestowing certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage; but, having plighted his troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her, whereat she grew so discontented that she consulted with her maids how she might take away his life; and in pursuance of that design, inticed him into a garden, where there was a secret cave, and in it a fierce lion, unto which she descended by divers steps, under color of showing him the beast; and when she told him of its fierceness, he answered, that it was a womanish and not a manly quality to be afraid thereof. But having him there, by the advantage of a folding door, thrust him to the lion; being therefore in this danger, he rolled his mantle about his arm, and putting his hand into the mouth of the beast, pulled out his tongue by the root; which done, he followed the queen to her palace, and gave it to one of her maids to present her. Returning thereupon to England, with the fame of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith advanced to the Earldom of Ar undel, and for his arms the Lion given him. Adeliza had the castle of Arundel in dowry from her deceased husband, the monarch, and thus her new lord became its feudal earl, 1st Earl of Arundel in this family. The earl was one of those who solicited the Empress Maud to come to England, and received her and her brother Robert, Earl of Gloucester, at the port of Arundel, in August 1139, and in three years afterwards (1142), in the report made of King Stephen's taking William de Mandeville at St. Albans, it is stated "that before he could be laid hold on, he underwent a sharp skirmish with the king's party, wherein the Earl of Arundel, though a stout and expert soldier, was unhorsed in the midst of the water by Walceline de Oxeai, and almost drowned." In 1150, he wrote himself Earl of Chichester, but we find him styled again Earl of Arundel, upon a very memorable occasion, namely, the reconciliation of Henry, Duke of Normandy, afterwards King Henry II., and King Stephen at the siege of Wallingford Castle in 1152. "It was scarce possible," says Rapin, "for the armies to part without fighting. Accordingly the two leaders were preparing for battle with equal ardor, when, by the prudent advice of the Earl of Arundel, who was on the king's side, they were prevented from coming to blows." A truce and peace followed this interference of the earl's, which led to the subsequent accession of Henry after Stephen's decease, in whose favor the earl stood so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the castle and honor of Arundel, but a confirmation of the Earldom of Sussex, of which county he was really earl, by a grant of the Tertium Denarium of the pleas of the shire. In 1164, we find the Earl of Arundel deputed with Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, to remonstrate with Louis, King of France, upon according an asylum to Thomas a Becket within his dominions, and on the failure of that mission, dispatched with the archbishop of York, the Bishops of Winchester, London , Chichester, and Exeter, Wido Rufus, Richard de Invecestre, John de Oxford (priests), Hugh de Gundevile, Bernard de St. Valery, and Henry Fitzgerald, to lay the whole affair of Becket at the foot of the pontifical throne. Upon levying the aid for the marriage of the king's daughter, in the 12th year of Henry II., the knight's fees of the honor of Arundel were certified to be ninety-seven, and those in Norfolk, belonging to the earl, forty-two. In 1173, we find the Earl of Arundel commanding, in conjunction with William, Earl of Mandeville, the king's army in Normandy, and compelling the French monarch to abandon Verneuil after a long siege, and in the next year, with Richard de Lucy, Justice of England, defeating Robert, Earl of Leicester, then in rebellion at St. Edmundbury. This couple had four sons and three daughters, with data only available for the one son and one daughter contained herein.

Also, asthe 1st Earl of Arundel, he built the original keep at Arundel Castle. Castle Rising booklet: William de Albini. His marriage to Alice ofLouvain, widow of King Henry I, "brought the young Albini at once to theclose-knit and immensely powerful Anglo-Norman aristocracy wherein his father had won aplace by loyal service to two former kings. A hostilechronicler...asserts,indeed, that he now became intolerably puffed up, would recognise no one as hispeer, and looked down upon every other eminence in the world except that ofkings. Alice the Queen, moreover, brought him not only status and prestige, butralso new lordships, honors, lands and power. Through her he acquired thehonour of Arundel in Sussex, which were her dower, and also an earldom. At the timeof his marriage he was made Earl of Lincoln, and thereafter, and instead, inabout 1141, Earl of Sussex, alias of Arundel, alias of Chicester." "The keep(or great tower or donjon) is the finest building in the castle, and wasmeant to be; it was not only the strongest building but also it contained the best residential accommodation for the Albini lord of Rising. Architecturally,like others of its kind, it both symbolises and embodies lordship, and hencethe medieval word for such place, donjon, derived from the Latin dominium,meaning lordship."

London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874: Of William de Albini, third son and successor of William II, and Maud leBigod, a romantic story has been invented to account for the lion rampantsubsequently borne by his descendants. Having captivated the heart of the Queen Dowager of France by his gallantconduct in a tournament at Paris, she offered to marry him, an honourwhich he respectfully declined, having already given his word and faithto a lady in England, another Queen Dowager, no less a personage thanAdeliza, widow of King Henry 1 of England. His refusal so angered theFrench Queen, that she laid a plot with her attendants to destroy him byinducing him to enter a cave in her garden, where a lion had been placedfor that purpose; but the undaunted Earl, rolling his mantle round hisarm, thrust his hand into the lion's mouth, tore out its tongue, and sentit to the Queen by one of her maids. "In token of which noble and valiantact," says Brooke, in his "Catalogue of Nobility," "this William assumedto bear for his arms a lion gold in a field gules, which his successorsever since continued." As this third William de Albini died as late as 1176, it is possible bemight have assumed armorial bearings, but the lion was more probablyfirst borne by his son, the second Earl of Arundel of the line ofAubigny, in token of his descent from Adeliza, widow of Henry l, in whosereign we have the earliest evidence of golden lions being adopted as apersonal decoration, if not strictly an heraldic bearing.

His buriel place comes from Dallaway: Co. of Sussex: and Francis Joseph Raigent's Waverly Abbey, 1882. Dugdale's Monastasticon Anglicanum, 1846, vol. iii - Wymondham Priory. The MSS concerning this priory (later abbey) are collected together in a small volume at the British Museum (Registrum Cartarum Abbavssae de Wimundham in Com.

  === A. EARLS of ARUNDEL [1138/39]-1243 (ALBINI) ===
  The family of Albini (Aubigny) was from Saint-Martin-d'Aubigny in the present day French département of Manche. After the Norman conquest, the castle of Arundel was first possessed by Roger de Montgommery, who was created an earl in 1067 and is generally recognised as Earl of Shrewsbury. His son, Robert de Bellême Comte d'Alençon and Earl of Shrewsbury lost his English honours and estates after his attainder in 1102. Arundel castle was retained by the crown until it was settled on William de Albini on his marriage to Queen Adelisa, widow of King Henry I, in [1138/39]. He was created Earl of Arundel by King Stephen in [1142], although he is also referred to as Earl of Chichester and Earl of Sussex. On the death without male heirs of Hugh de Albini Earl of Arundel in 1243, the title reverted to the crown. The castle and honour of Arundel were inherited by Hugh’s nephew John FitzAlan, the son of his older sister Isabel. The FitzAlan family did not use the title Earl of Arundel until it was awarded to John's grandson, Richard FitzAlan, in 1289 by King Edward I. After the attainder of Edmund FitzAlan Earl of Arundel in 1326, the title was given to Edmund Earl of Kent, son of Edward I King of England, but it was forfeited once more after the attainder of Earl Edmund in 1330. Richard FitzAlan, son of his predecessor, was fully restored to his honours by King Edward III in 1331. Yet another interval in the tenure of the FitzAlan family followed the attainder of Richard FitzAlan in 1397, after which John de Holand Duke of Exeter was granted the castle and honour of Arundel. It is not clear whether he was ever created Earl of Arundel but, whatever the case, all his honours were forfeited after his own attainder in 1400. After helping King Henry IV to the throne, Thomas FitzAlan was fully restored to his father's honours in 1400 and thereby became Earl of Arundel. The supremacy of the earldom over all other earldoms was confirmed in 1446 after this precedence was challenged by Thomas Courtenay Earl of Devon[1]. The earldom passed to the Howard family after the death in 1580 of Henry FitzAlan Earl of Arundel, the late earl being succeeded by his grandson Philip Howard Earl of Surrey.

A memorandum of the foundation of Wymondham Priory records that “Willielmus de Albaneio, pincerna regis Henrici” had “unum filium Willielmum comitem Arundeliæ”[2]. “Willielmus de Albeneyo, pincerna Henrici regis Anglorum” donated property to Wymondham priory, assisted by “uxoris suæ Matilidis filiæ…Rogeri Bigot” by undated charter, witnessed by “filii…eiusdem Willielmi, Nigellus et Oliverus”[3]. "Willelmus de Albiniaco" donated “ecclesias de villa...Ham” to Chartres Saint-Père by charter dated to [1132/51], witnessed by “...Olivarius frater Willelmi de Albiniaco et Radulfus de Haia et Engerannus de Sai...”[4]. He acquired the castle and honour of Arundel through his marriage. He was created Earl of Lincoln in [1139], but lost this earldom to William de Roumare, and was created Earl of Arundel or Sussex in [1141]. "W comes Cicestrie…et regina Adelide" granted land at Wymondham, Norfolk to the church of St Lazarus of Jerusalem by charter dated to [1150], witnessed by "Rogero de Albineio…"[5]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1177 of "Willermus de Albineio…comitem d'Arundel"[6].

The Genealogia Ducum Brabantiæ Heredum Franciæ names (in order) "Alaida…Anglorum regina…comitissa de Cleves Ida…[et] Clarissia virgo" as the three daughters of "Godefridus Cum-barba"[8]. The Balduini Ninovensis Chronicon records the marriage of "Henricus rex Anglorum" and "Athelam filiam Godefridi ducis Lotharingie" in 1121[9]. Orderic Vitalis names her and her father[10]. The castle and honour of Arundel was settled on Queen Adelisa after her first husband died. Robert of Torigny records that "Willermi de Albinaio quem vocant comitem de Arundel" married "Aelizam reginam relictam Henrici senioris regis Anglorum"[11]. In another passage, Robert of Torigny confirms that she was the mother of her husband's four sons[12]. Adelisa became a nun at Affleghem Abbey, near Aalst in Brabant in 1149/50. The Annals of Margan record the death in 1151 of “Adelidis, regina secunda Henrici regis”[13].

4. Title: The History Jar English History from 1066 - Adela of Louvain
   Author: Henry died in 1135 and Adela took herself off to the nunnery at Wilton where she remained for at least a year until William D’Albini proposed, and she accepted. As a queen she might have perhaps expected a better match even though it appeared that she was barren but times were difficult and who knows – perhaps she actually liked him. There was also the small matter of Arundel Castle to take into consideration. It had been confiscated by the Crown in 1102. On Henry’s death it lay in the hands of Adela. William D’Albini was a royal steward, an important member of the king’s household, and loyal to the new king Stephen who’d taken the crown despite the fact that Henry I had forced all his nobles to agreeing to accept his other legitimate heir the Empress Matilda.

   Note: ALBINI (Pincerna), WILLIAM de, Earl of Arundel (d. 1176), was son of William de Albini Pincerna (the Butler), lord of Buckenham, Norfolk, by Maud, daughter of Roger le Bigod [see Bigod, Roger le]. He is said to have been surnamed ‘with the strong hand,’ a sobriquet that may have suggested the story of the Lion (Dugdale) invented to account for his family arms. Between 1135 and 1139 (Chron. Norm.) he married Adeliza, widow of Henry I [see Adeliza of Louvain], and became, in right of her life interest, lord of the castle and honour of Arundel. With her he received Matilda on her landing 30 Sept. 1139 (Gervase, Rolls Ser. i. 110), but was ever after faithful to Stephen, from whom, probably, he received his earldom, which would seem to have been that of the county of Sussex, though also described as of ‘Chichester,’ from its capital, and of ‘Arundel,’ from the earl's residence (First Report on the Dignity of a Peer [1829]; Tierney's Arundel, i. 101 et seq.; Madox's Baronage, p. 23; Nicolas's Synopsis [ed. Courthope], pp. 28, 464; Journ. Brit. Arch. Ass. xxiii. 25–27). On Henry landing in 1153 and facing Stephen at Wallingford, he was foremost in proposing and arranging a truce (Gervase, i. 154, ii. 76), and he was subsequently one of the witnesses to the final composition between them (Rymer, Fœdera, i. 25). On the accession of Henry II (1154) he was confirmed in his earldom of Sussex, and was given in fee the honour of Arundel, which he had previously only held for his wife's life. In November 1164 he was despatched with other magnates on an embassy to Louis VII and to the pope (Gervase, i. 190, 193) with reference to Becket's appeal, and in 1167 was selected by the king (R. Diceto) to escort his daughter into Germany on her marriage with Henry of Saxony (1168). Upon the revolt of Prince Henry he declared for the king, and served under him in the French campaign of August 1173. The Earl of Leicester having landed in Suffolk with his Flemings, 29 Sept. 1173, Arundel, with the Earls of Cornwall and Gloucester, marched against the invading forces, and, joining the justiciar and constable near Bury St. Edmund's, assisted in the defeat of Leicester (17 Oct.). The earl died at Waverley 12 Oct. 1176 (Ann. Wav.).

NOTES: The origin of the Earls of Arundel was Aubigny, in the arondissemont of Coutances, dept. of La Manche. It is also stated that they never bore such a name as "de Albini". There is also no connection of the d'Aubigny Earls of Arundel with the Lords of Belvoir. This has confused many historians and genealogists, and erroneously inspired many creative attempts to connect them. The only actual connection beween these two distinct families, is that a William of each line, living as contemporaries, married sisters, both daughters of Roger Bigod. a. He is stated, by Round, to have emigrated from the Contentin in Normandy, to England during the reign of Henry I. b. Surnamed "the Strong Hand" and variously seen as "de Albiniaco" or "de Albini", the latter being the Latin form. By his marriage with the Queen Dowager (in her third year of widowhood), he acquired, ca 1138 or 1139, the castle and honour of Arundel. Shortly after his marriage he was also recognized as Earl of Lincoln, a title which he lost a short time later. By 1141, and thereafter, he was described as Earl of Sussex, likely granted to him by King Stephen, of whom he was an adherent. In another charter (bef 1150) of his wife, the Queen Dowager, to the Abbey of Reading, she describes him as Earl of Chichester. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, by which the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, while the inheritance of such was secured to Henry II. He was justly held in high esteem by Henry II, being one of the King's embassy to Rome in 1163/64, and also to Saxony in 1168. He was also commander of the Royal Army in August of 1173 in Normandy, against the King's rebellious sons, where he is said to have distinguished himself with "swiftness and velocity". He survived his wife by 25 years and was buried with his father, at Wymondham Priory in Norfolk. c. He was not immediately Earl of Arundel, that dignity having been, in accordance with the policy of Henry II, retained by the Crown upon the death of his father, but it was restored to him by Richard I 27 Jun 1190. He was, although, styled Earl of Arundel before he received possession. He was made the Custos of Windsor Castle in 1191, and in 1194 was one of the Receivers of monies raised for the King's ransom. d. A favorite of King John, he is stated to have "consistently taken the winning side", first being with the King at Runnymeade 15 Jun 1215, abandoning him in favor of Louis VIII of France when King John abandoned Winchester the following June, then returning to King John's allegiance after the Royalist victory at Lincoln in July 1217. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed Justiciar, the young King, Henry III, having restored to him his forfeited possessions. He embarked on the Crusade of 1218, and was present at the taking of Damietta in Nov 1219, but died shortly before 30 March 1221 in Cainell, near Rome. His sons, William and Hugh, successively Earls of Arundel and Sussex, both died s.p., and upon the death of the younger son, Hugh, his four sisters were found to be his coheirs. The earldom of Sussex reverted to the Crown. SOURCES: CP: Vol I[233-239]; AR: Line 149[24-27], Line 126[29-30], Line 139[26]; SGM: Mr. Todd Farmerie
