=== Life Sketch ===
• Background Information: Taken from Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family, by Arthur Malet, pp. 75-76, Titled "Gilbert Malet of Curry and Shepton, The Son of William the Son of Robert, and cCommonly Called the Seneschal:." 956
"Gilbert Malet succeeded William Malet, of whom the last recorded date is 1168. Gilbert's first recorded date is 1174, when, with the designation of Seneschal, he was one the witnesses to the treaty of Henry II with William King of the Scots[Hearn,Liber Niger Scaccarii, p. 36]. There is extant a deed of Gilbert de Northfolk [ibid] without date, but of much interest; it is a deed of gift to the Monastery of the Holy Saviour, Saint Peter and Saint Athelrim of Atheling for the benefit of his own soul and his wife's, and that of 'his Lord William Malet.' 'His Lord Gilbert Malet' (of whom he held his land in Curry in fee), for himself and for his heirs, confirming and sealing it, and 'William the son of Gilbert Malet' witnessing it. Thus we have in one deed the names of three consecutive Barons.
"I am indebted to Canon Jackson for an extract from the proceedings of the Roxburgh Club, showing that Gilbert did homage to Henry de Sully, Abbot of Glastonbury, A.D.1139, for lands held in the fee of that Abbey.
"We have in the time of Henry II, but without date Gilbert Malet the Seneschal a witness to a deed concerning the Danegeld and other liberties of the Church of Christ at Canterbury [Rymer, Fadæder, vol I, p. 43, temp. Henry II]; and the next is an excerpt of Sir William Pole's [Sir A. M.'s MSS, vol I, Sup. I, p. 34], in which Gilbert names 'William Malet my heir, Robert and Ralph his brothers, William Malet my grandson.' Thus we are not left in ignorance as to his family, but have more than usual evidence of the relationship of the three last Barons of this branch.
"Gilbert was succeeded by his eldest son William Malet."
