=== Life Sketch ===
Hugh Bigod (c. 1182 - 18 February 1225) was a member of the powerful early Norman Bigod family and was for a short time the 3rd Earl of Norfolk.
He was born c. 1182, the eldest son of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk by his wife Ida de Tosny.
Career
In 1215 he was one of the twenty-five sureties of Magna Carta of King John. He succeeded to his father’s estates (including Framlingham Castle) in 1221.
Marriage and children
In late 1206 or early 1207, Hugh married Maud Marshal (1192 - 27 March 1248), daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1147-1219), Marshal of England, by his wife Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. They had four, or possibly five, children:
1. Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (c. 1209-1270), died childless.
2. Hugh Bigod (1211-1266), Justiciar of England. Married Joan de Stuteville, by whom he had issue.
3. Isabel Bigod (c. 1212- 1250), married twice: Firstly to Gilbert de Lacy (son of Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath and his wife Margaret de Braose), by whom she had issue; Secondly to John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, by whom she had issue, including Maud FitzJohn, and Joan FitzJohn who married Theobald le Botiller, and from whom descended the Irish Earls of Ormond.
4. Ralph Bigod (born c. 1215)
[5. Simon? ...]
Contrary to the assertion of Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, there is no evidence for a fourth son called Simon Bigod. A man of that name appears as a witness to one of Earl Hugh's charters (Morris, HBII 2), but as the eighteenth name in a list of twenty, suggesting no close connection to the main branch of the family. He is also named among the knights who surrendered to King John at Framlingham Castle in 1216. He was a probably a descendant of Hugh or William Bigod, half-brothers to Earl Roger II Bigod.
Simon le Bigot is recognized as the third son of Hugh Bigod in Francis Blomefield, 'North Erpingham Hundred: Felbrigg', in An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk: Volume 8 (London, 1808), pp. 107-119. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol8/pp107-119 [accessed 2 June 2019]. He is also recognized by Gary Boyd Roberts in The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States Vol 1 p528.
Death
Hugh died on 18 February 1225. Very soon after Hugh's death, his widow Maud remarried William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey.

In 1227 he joined the Earl of Cornwall at Stamford in his revolt against the king, but at Christmas was with the king at York. In 1229 he was about the make a voyage on the king's service. He was heir in 1234 to his sister, Isabel de Warenne, widow of Gilbert de l'Aigle. In 1236 he acted as Butler at the Coronation of Queen Eleanor of Provence, in place of his son-in-law, Hugh, Earl of Arundel. In 1238 he was cited to appear before Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, because mass has been celebrated in the earl's hall at Grantham, Lincolnshire. SIR WILLIAM DE WARENNE, 6th Earl of Surrey, died testate in London 27 May 1240, and was buried in the priory church of Lewes, Sussex.

Ralph Bigod (born c. 1215)
Contrary to the assertion of Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, there is no evidence for a fourth son called Simon Bigod. A man of that name appears as a witness to one of Earl Hugh's charters (Morris, HBII 2), but as the eighteenth name in a list of twenty, suggesting no close connection to the main branch of the family. He is also named among the knights who surrendered to King John at Framlingham Castle in 1216. He was a probably a descendant of Hugh or William Bigod, half-brothers to Earl Roger II Bigod.
Simon le Bigot is recognized as the third son of Hugh Bigod in Francis Blomefield, 'North Erpingham Hundred: Felbrigg', in An Essay Towards A Topographical History of the County of Norfolk: Volume 8 (London, 1808), pp. 107-119. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/topographical-hist-norfolk/vol8/pp107-119 [accessed 2 June 2019]. He is also recognized by Gary Boyd Roberts in The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States Vol 1 p528.
Death
Hugh died on 18 February 1225. Very soon after Hugh's death, his widow Maud remarried William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey.
