=== Life Sketch ===
“Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
“HUGH (or HUGUES) DE GOURNAY, seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie and Gaillefontaine, and lord of Houghton, Bedfordshire, Bledlow and Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Caister, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire, etc., son and heir, born about 1091 (of full age in 1112). During his minority, be was raised by King Henry I of England and his lands were administered by Drew de Mouchy his step-father. He married (1st) BEATRICE (or BEATRIX) DE VERMANDOIS, daughter of Hugh le Grand, Crépy, by Adele, daughter and heiress of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois and Valois [see VERMANDOIS 4 for her ancestry]. They had one son, Hugh (died young). He joined Stephen, Count of Aumale, and others in 1118, in an attempt to place William Clito, son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, on the throne. He seised the castle of Plesssis and ravaged Norman terrritory. King Henry I crushed the revolt at Noyon in 1119, after which he submitted and was pardoned. He appears to have joined King Stephen at the Siege of Shrewsbury in 1138, for which he later rewarded with the manors of Wendover, Buckinghamshire and Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. His wife, Beatrice, was living in 1144. About 1144 he and his son, Hugh, gave to the church of S. Leu for the soul of Beatrice his wife a rent at Cauvigriy. About 1144 he gave to the church of St. Leu the house of Roger the priest and his sister at Cauvigny. In the period, 1147-55, he witnessed a charter for his nephew, Roger de Mowbray. In 1147 he accompanied King Louis VII of France to the Holy Land. This crusade was unsuccessful and returned in 1149. He married (2nd) before 1162 (date of charter) MILICENT (or MELISENDE) DE COUCY, daughter of Thomas de Coucy (or de Marie), seigneur of Coucy, Marie, de la Fere and Boves, by his 2nd wife, Melisende, daughter and heiress of Guy de Crecy, Châtelain of la Ferte. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, Aidieve (wife of Nicholas de Stuteville, of Kimberley, Norfolk). During the revolt of Henry the Young King, Hugh and his son, Hugh, were captured by the rebels, who burned Gournay and extorted ransomes from its burgesses. Hugh's servants in turn plundered royal estates in Suffolk, and his manors of Bledlow and Houghton Regis were taken into royal hands in reprisal. He and his 2nd wife were benefactors of the Abbey of Bec. They founded the Abbey of Gaillefontaine in the period, 1144 64. HUGH DE GOURNAY died in 1181, said to be "very old." His wife, Milicent, survived him.
