Hamelin, vicomte of Tourine, and in right of his wife, 5th Earl of Surrey, of lewes, Sussex, Advocate of St. Bertin, ilegitimate son. He married in 1164 (probably in April) ISABEL DE WARENNE, suo jure Countess of Surrey, widow of William, Count/Earl of Boulogne, Warenne, and Mortain (died Oct. 1159 on the Toulouse expedition, buried at Montmorillon in Poitou, younger but only surviving son of Stephen, King of England), and daughter and heiress of William de Warenne, 3rd Earl of Surrey, by Ela, daughter of William III Talvas, Count of Ponthieu, Montreuil-sur-mer, and Alencon. They had one son, William [6th Earl of Surrey], and three daughters, Maud, Ela, and Isabel. He was present at the council of Northampton in 1164, and joined in the denunciation of Archishop Thomas as a traitor. In 1173 he supported King Henry II against his sons. In 1176 he was one of the nobles who escorted Joan, daughter of King Henry II, for her marriage to the King of Sicily. In the period, 178-1202, Robert de Pormort sold to Hamelin, Earl of Surrey all the fee which the said Robert held of the earl in Louveautuit in Normandy for 65 marks and 25l. of Anjou. He was present at the first coronation of King Richard I in 1189. In the king's absence, he supported the chancellor against the intrigues of the king's brother, John [later King John]. In 1193 he was one of the treasurers for the ransom of King Richard I. At King Richard I's second coronation in 1194, he bore one of the three swords. He was present at the Coronation of King John in 1199. In 120 he was granted a weekly market at Conisborourgh, Yorkshire. In 1201 srife arose between Hugh, Abbot of Cluny and Haelin, Earl Warenne concerning the appointment and institution of the Prior of Lewes; the matter was settled by the mediation of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, Eustace, Bishop of Ely, and Geoffrey son of Peter, Justicar of England. In 1202 he granted the advowson of the church of Leigh, Surrey to the Priory of St. Mary Overy, Southwark. HAMELIN, 5th Earl of Surrey, died 7 May 1202. His widow, Isabel, died possibly 12 July 1203. They were buried in the chapter-house at Lewes.
Children of Hamelin, by Isabel de Warenne:
WILLIAM DE WARENNE, Knt., 6th Earl of Surrey
MAUD DE WARENNE, married (1st) HENRI (or HENRY) OF EU, 6th Count of Eu -see BOHUN 3], (2nd) HENRY DE STUTEVILLE, of Barton (in Fabis) and Bradmore, Nottinghamshire, seigneur of Valmont and Rames in Normandy [see BOHUN 3]
ELE DE WARENNE, married (1st) ROBERT DE NEWBURGH [see FITZ WILLIAM 3]; (2nd) WILLIAM FITZ WILLIAM, of Sprotsborough, Yorkshire [see FITZ WILLIAM 3]
ISABEL DE WARENNE. She married (1st) ROBERT DE LACY or LACI, LASCI) of Pontefract, Yorkshire, son and heir of Henry de Lacy. They had no issue. He attended the Coronation of Richard I in 1189. He confirmed hsi father's gift in Snydale (in Normanton), Yorkshire to Kirkstall Abbey, Yorkshire, and added three caracates of land in this vill. He also gave the vill of Rishton (or Rushton), Lancashire to the same abbey. At an unknown date, he gave Accrington, Lancashire to Kirkstall Abbey, in compensation for the loss of Cliviger, Lancashire. He was also a benefactor of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. ROBERT DE LACY died 21 Aug. 1193, and was buried at Kirkstall Abbey.
His widow, Isabel, married (2nd) before 1196 GILBERT DE L'AIGLE, of Pevensey, Sussex, Greywell, Hampshire, Westcote (in Dorking) and Witley, Surrey, etc., son and heir of Richer III de l'Aigle, of Pevensey, Sussex, seigneur of l'Aigle in Normandy, by his wife Odeline (or Edeline). They had three sons, Gilbert, Richer, and William, and one daughter Alice (wife of John de Lacy, Knt., Constable of Chester, 1st Earl of Lincoln). He went to Normandy shortly before 1200.
In Michaelmas term 1200 his wife, Isabel, complained before the justices of the bench that Roger, Constable of Chester had disseised her of dower given her by her former husband, Robert de Lacy. Gilbert's lands were seized in 1204 because of his opposition to King John. In 1207 William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, gave 3000 marks to have custody of his lands for the use of his sister, Gilbert's wife. In 1208 he had a partial restitution of his lands, but appears to have fallen off again. In 1216, the king sent him a message, urging him to return to fealty, and offering to restore all his lands if he did so. In April 1226 he had license to pass to and from Normandy. In Sept. 1226 his English lands were taken into the king's hands, possibly as a pledge for his loyalty to King Henry III. His lands were restored the following spring on payment of a fine of 500 marks. His wife, Isabel, was a legatee in the 1228 will of Richard de Elmham, Canon of St. Martin le Grant, London, who bequeathed her a box for sacred ceremonial objects. In 1229 he founded the Priory of the Holy Trinity at Michelsam, Sussex. In 1230 he accompanied the king on his expedition to France. The same year Juliane de Pevensey arraigned an assize of novel disseisin against Gilbert de l'Aigle regarding a tenement in Hailsham, Sussex; in 1232 Juliane was amerced 10s. for a false claim. Gilbert was a benefactor of Chaise-Dieu Abbey and Saint-Sulpice Priory, and also confirmed the gifts of his predecessors to Trappe Abbey. GILBERT DE L'AIGLE died shortly before 19 Del 1231. On 16 Jan. 1232 his widow, Isabel, was assigned dower out of Gilbert's lands in Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire. At an unknown date, his wife, Isabel, received one-third of the manor of Northease (in Rodmell), Sussex from her brother, William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, in exchange for lands in Yorkshire. She gave this one third interest in frank almoin to Michelham Priory. Isabel died without surviving legitimate issue shortly before 30 Nov. 1234. In Dec. 1234 the king granted all the lands of late Gilbert de l'Agle, with the advewsons of churches, services of knights, and free men to Gilbert Marshal, Earl of Pembroke.
