=== Life Sketch ===
Aubrey I was married by 1086. As his spouse's name is recorded as Beatrice in 1104 and Beatrice is named as the mother of his eldest son, she was almost certainly his wife in 1086. Beatrice attended the formal ceremony for the founding of Earl's Colne Priory. Besides sons Geoffrey, Aubrey II, and William mentioned above, the couple's children included Roger and Robert.

- Title: Wikiwand: Colne Priory
Author: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Publication: Name: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Colne_Priory;
Note: Colne Priory at Earls Colne, Essex was a Benedictine priory, initially a dependent cell of Abingdon Abbey, Berkshire (now in Oxfordshire). It was founded by Aubrey de Vere I and his wife Beatrice in or before 1111. Their eldest son Geoffrey had died at Abingdon about seven or eight years earlier and was buried there. On his deathbed, Geoffrey had bequeathed to Abingdon the church and lands at Kensington, Middlesex, and his parents and brothers had confirmed that grant, as had King Henry I.
Aubrey and Beatrice became very attached to Abingdon, but as they lived primarily in Essex, the aging couple found it difficult to journey there. They founded Colne Priory, the only cell of Abingdon, in order to have monks of that house close to them and as a family mausoleum. About 1112 Aubrey I retired to the priory, joined by his youngest son, William de Vere, both of whom died there shortly thereafter.
Colne Priory became the principal burial place of the earls of Oxford, with all but a few buried there to 1703. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the Crown granted the priory to John de Vere (1482–1540), 15th Earl of Oxford on 22 July 1536. The surviving tombs at Colne, some with effigies, were removed in the 1930s to St Stephen's Chapel near Bures, Suffolk, where they are now. A late 12th-century cartulary exists.
The relations between Abingdon and its priory were occasionally discordant, and in the 13th century Colne Priory became an independent priory.

Note: AUBREY de Vere, son of --- ([before 1040]-Colne Priory, Essex [1112], bur Colne Priory). ["Alberico de Ver" attested a charter of Conan II Duke of Brittany (who ruled in his own name from 1057 to 1066). One passage in the Complete Peerage highlights the absence of proof that this was the same person as Aubrey who later held lands in England. If it was the same person, his career would have been a long one from [1057/66] to [1112], which suggests that they may have been different persons.] William I King of England granted him estates, particularly in north Essex, south Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. He attested a royal charter as Chamberlain ["camerarius"] in 1084. [Domesday Book records “the land which belonged to Earl Aubrey”, including Compton, Durrington, Winterslow, in Wiltshire, Iffley and Minster in Oxfordshire. It is not certain that these entries apply to Aubrey de Vere who has not been identified with the comital title in other sources. In addition, the unusual heading to the section "the land which belonged to…" suggests that it may have been confiscated or relinquished before the date of Domesday.] Domesday Book records “Aubrey de Vere” holding numerous properties in Essex. He acted as Sheriff of Berkshire in [1106]. The Chronicle of Abingdon records a donation by "dapiferi Albrici…et uxore eius Beatrice," with the consent of "eorum filiis…Albricus, Rogerus, Rotbertus, Wuillelmus."
m (before 1086) BEATRICE, daughter of ---. “Godefridus de Ver, Albrici senioris filius, Albrici junioris frater” donated property to Colne priory by undated charter, which names “matre sua Beatrice.”
Aubrey de Vere & his wife had [six] children:
