NOTES: The origin of the Earls of Arundel was Aubigny, in the arondissemont of Coutances, dept. of La Manche. It is also stated that they never bore such a name as "de Albini". There is also no connection of the d'Aubigny Earls of Arundel with the Lords of Belvoir. This has confused many historians and genealogists, and erroneously inspired many creative attempts to connect them. The only actual connection beween these two distinct families, is that a William of each line, living as contemporaries, married sisters, both daughters of Roger Bigod. a. He is stated, by Round, to have emigrated from the Contentin in Normandy, to England during the reign of Henry I. b. Surnamed "the Strong Hand" and variously seen as "de Albiniaco" or "de Albini", the latter being the Latin form. By his marriage with the Queen Dowager (in her third year of widowhood), he acquired, ca 1138 or 1139, the castle and honour of Arundel. Shortly after his marriage he was also recognized as Earl of Lincoln, a title which he lost a short time later. By 1141, and thereafter, he was described as Earl of Sussex, likely granted to him by King Stephen, of whom he was an adherent. In another charter (bef 1150) of his wife, the Queen Dowager, to the Abbey of Reading, she describes him as Earl of Chichester. He was influential in arranging the treaty of 1153, by which the Crown continued with King Stephen for life, while the inheritance of such was secured to Henry II. He was justly held in high esteem by Henry II, being one of the King's embassy to Rome in 1163/64, and also to Saxony in 1168. He was also commander of the Royal Army in August of 1173 in Normandy, against the King's rebellious sons, where he is said to have distinguished himself with "swiftness and velocity". He survived his wife by 25 years and was buried with his father, at Wymondham Priory in Norfolk. c. He was not immediately Earl of Arundel, that dignity having been, in accordance with the policy of Henry II, retained by the Crown upon the death of his father, but it was restored to him by Richard I 27 Jun 1190. He was, although, styled Earl of Arundel before he received possession. He was made the Custos of Windsor Castle in 1191, and in 1194 was one of the Receivers of monies raised for the King's ransom. d. A favorite of King John, he is stated to have "consistently taken the winning side", first being with the King at Runnymeade 15 Jun 1215, abandoning him in favor of Louis VIII of France when King John abandoned Winchester the following June, then returning to King John's allegiance after the Royalist victory at Lincoln in July 1217. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed Justiciar, the young King, Henry III, having restored to him his forfeited possessions. He embarked on the Crusade of 1218, and was present at the taking of Damietta in Nov 1219, but died shortly before 30 March 1221 in Cainell, near Rome. His sons, William and Hugh, successively Earls of Arundel and Sussex, both died s.p., and upon the death of the younger son, Hugh, his four sisters were found to be his coheirs. The earldom of Sussex reverted to the Crown. SOURCES: CP: Vol I[233-239]; AR: Line 149[24-27], Line 126[29-30], Line 139[26]; SGM: Mr. Todd Farmerie

  9. Title: SULPICE . The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence
    Page: British Isles - England, Untitled Nobility A-C, p. 293: PATRICK [III] renumbered [I] for the purposes of the present document] de Chaources [Chaworth], son of [PATRICE [II] de Chaources & his wife ---] (-after 1133). The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" donated the mill at “Horcote in villa de Kynermaresforde" with the consent of "rege Henrico seniore…tempore Willelmi abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131] and that "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated "tria molendina in Kynemerefforde" confirmed by "rex Willielmus junior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][2222]. It is uncertain whether "Patricius de Cadurcis" who made the earlier donation (undoubtedly Patrice [III]) was the same person as "Patricius de Cadurcis filius Patricii" who made the later donation. The latter could also have been Patrick [II] (see below). If Patrice [III] was the son of another Patrice, the chronology suggests that his father was Patrice [II], although this affiliation cannot be confirmed beyond all doubt. He succeeded his father-in-law at Weston, near Bath, and at Kempsford in Gloucestershire. The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][2223]. "Patricius" donated "v hidas terræ de Westona" to Bath St Peter, for the souls of "…Hamelini et Winebaldi de Baalun…ac…Arnulfi de Hesding…et Warini clerici mei", by charter dated 14 Sep 1100, witnessed by "Hamelinus et Winebaldus de Baalun…"[2224]. [“Patricius Caurtiarum dominus…et Paganus filius meus” donated land at “Brullon, de Bernei, de Sancto Medardo de Balardone” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture by charter dated to [1100][2225]. Although the Latin name of the donor is somewhat different from the usual rendering of "Chaources", the last property listed is the same as one donated by an earlier member of the Chaources family which suggests that the donor was Patrick [I].] "…Patricius de Caorgis…" subscribed a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1101 for Bath St Peter[2226]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "de Amenel et…de Kenemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated to [1100/12][2227]. “Patricius de Cadurcis et uxor mea Mathildis” donated “ecclesiam de Dedintona” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, for the soul of “Ernulfi de Hodine”, by charter dated to [1120][2228]. A manuscript which lists donations to Gloucester St Peter includes a record of the donation by "Ernulphus de Hesdyng", confirmed by “Patricius de Cadurcis et Matildis uxor eius”, of “ecclesiam de Kynermerforde", and the later donation by "Paganus filius Patricii"[2229]. "Patricius de Caurz…" subscribed a charter dated 28 Jun 1121 under which "Willelmus filius regis" donated "terra…Grenta de Stoca" to Bath St Peter[2230]. Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Patricius de Chaurcis avus Pagani de Mundublel" held fees in Gloucestershire during the life of King Henry I[2231]. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "apud Ameneye de feodo suo…[et] apud Ameneye Sancti Nicholai" to Gloucester St Peter, with the confirmation of "rege Henrico seniore", by undated charter but dated to "tempore Willelmi abbatis"[2232]. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated "molendinum de Horcote" to Gloucester St Peter, undated "tempore Willelmi abbatis"[2233]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Patric de Cadurc" in Oxfordshire and in Wiltshire[2234]. "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor mea" donated "unam virgatam in Kynemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated 1133[2235]. m (before 14 Sep 1100) MATHILDE, daughter and co-heiress of ARNOUL de Hesdin & his wife Emmeline [de Ballon] (-after 1133). The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104][2236]. The date of her marriage is set by the charter dated 14 Sep 1100 under which her husband donated property for the soul of his father-in-law, although the document does not specify the relationships between the parties. “Patricius de Cadurcis et uxor mea Mathildis” donated “ecclesiam de Dedintona” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, for the soul of “Ernulfi de Hodine”, by charter dated to [1120][2237]. "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor mea" donated "unam virgatam in Kynemereforde" to Gloucester St Peter by charter dated 1133[2238].
