  The Norman Castle of Vaux or De Vallibus is mentioned by Orderic Vitalis: and then Terra di Vallibus continued in the possession of the family to which it gave their name until the time of King John. Two brothers, Robert and Aitard de Vaux, appears in Domesday as mesne-lords in Norfolk. The former was probably the same Robert de Vals or de Vaux who, six years before, gave his Tithes to St. Evrault [orderic Vit. 576]. Both of them held of Roger Bigod. "Robert de Vallibus, who held Pentney of Bigod, founded a Priory there for the souls of Agnes his wife and their children."
  
  Hubert de Vaux, the grandson of the founder of Pentney Priory, Robert Vaux, and son of the second Robert Vaux, received from Henry II, a grant of the barony of Gilsland, one of the three great fiefs into which Ranulph de Meschines had divided the frontier district of Cumberland. Hubert earned his share of the reconquered territory by helping to drive out the Scots. Hubert died in 1164, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert. Robert died without issue and his brother Ralph succeeded him. The line terminated with Ralph's grandson, Hubert II, whose daughter Maud, Landy of Gilsland, carried the barony to the Multons; and her great-great-grand-daughter Margaret again transferred it to the Dacres.

  Hubert de Vaux acquired the Barony of Gillesland by grants from Ranulph de Meschines, upon whom the Victorious Norman had conferred the whole county of Cumberland. This Hubert was succeeded by his son Robert de Vaux, or Vallibus.

  In a Charter of Henry II, Hubert de Vallibus "totam terram quam Gilbertus filus Boet tenuit," or all of Gill's land, know as Gilsland. There was and addition in the chater (de incremento) of Corby and Catterlen. All these lands, Hurbert de Vallibus was to hold to him and his heirs forever, per serviciam duorum militum, meaning due to his military service to the crown.

  === Notes and sources for Eustace... ===
  • Background Information. 780
  The Strikland, or de Vaux descended from Hubert de Vaux, Baron of Gillesland living during the reign of William I, granted Castle Carrock, with Hayton, Cumberland to Eustace de Vaux (his son, as appears from Nicholson and Burns) [Westmoreland, 511]. Eustace gave parts of Castle Carrock and Hayton to Lanercost Priory. In the time of Henry II, these manors were owned by Robert de Castle Carrock, and from passed to Robert his son, and Richard his grandson, who died during the reign of Edward I. Robert de Castle Carrock, living at the time of Henry II, had a brother, Sir Walter de Strikland, as appears by the grant of the latter of lands at Strikeland to St. Mary's, Yorkshire, witnessed by Robert de Castle Carrok, "brother of the said Walter." [Ib. 89] This seems conclusive. the family of Strickland descended from Sir Walter de Strickland, brother of Robert de Castle Carrock.

  Hubert de Vaux died in 1165, and his wife, Grace, had at least two sons, Robert, and Ranulf, who became the brother's successor and from whom the lords of Gilsland derived. There was a Eustace de Vaux, who held Castle Carrock and Hayton of the fee of Gilsland [Denton, Accompt., pp. 103, 109], he very likely a third son of Hubert, or at lease a near relative.
  
  Adam of Castle Carrock, is likely the son of Eustace de Vaux. Adam was a common name used in the Vaux family. Adam de Castle Carrock, was the father of Walter de Castle Carrock, who was in turn father of Richard Strickland. The Strickland arms closely resemble the arms borne by the Daces of Gilsland, and the Vauxes' heir-general.
  
  Eustace married one of the two sister and coheiresses of her brother Robert son of Beuth, who was the last direct male descendant of native chieftain, Giles son of Bueth, the original owner of Gilsland during the reign of Henry I. Adam, son of Eustace had blood of both the native and Norman lords of Gilsland.
  
  ~The Early History of the Stricklands, p. 22-24
  
  Eustace married Daughter of Bueth of Gilsland, daughter of Bueth of Gilsland and Unknown. (Daughter of Bueth of Gilsland was born in Gilsland, Irthington, Cumberland, England.)

    Note: After William the Conqueror had given the county of Cumberland to Ranulph de Meschines, who had married his niece, and whom he made Earl of Carlisle, or, as some say, of Cumberland, this Earl divided the county into eleven baronies; Copeland, Allerdale below Derwent, Wigton, Burgh, Dalston, Greystock, Gilsland, Crosby, Liddell, and a nameless barony in the south-east part of the county, under the fells, given to Adam FitzSwein. He reserved in his own hands the forest of Inglewood, which afterwards became part of the Crown demesne. A part of this was some time, by royal grant, vested in the Kings of Scotland, afterwards resumed by the Crown, and granted to the Nevils. The whole was granted by King William III. to the Portland family, and is now vested in the Duke of Devonshire.... ...each Barony is described in this article .... The barony of Gilsland (fn. n5) was given by Earl Ranulph to his relation Hubert de Vallibus or Vaux. From his family it passed, by successive heirs female to the Multons, Dacres, and Howards, and is now the property of Charles Earl of Carlisle. Naworth Castle has long been the chief seat of this barony; it is supposed to have been at an earlier period at Irthington. The barony of Dalston was given by Earl Ranulph to a younger brother of the Vaux family; but having escheated to the Crown, it was granted by King Henry III. to the Bishops of Carlisle. It comprises only the parish of Dalston: the north part of the barony, which is in the parish of St. Mary Carlisle, was assigned to the Prior, and now forms the manor of John de Capella, belonging to the Dean and Chapter.

    Note: BEWCASTLE, in Eskdale ward, lies nearly eleven miles from Brampton, and about twenty from Carlisle. It comprises the townships of Bailey, Belbank, Bewcastle, and Nixons, and in 1811, contained 215 houses and 1069 inhabitants. This parish, which in ancient records is written Bothcastre and Buethcastre, is supposed to have obtained that name from its ancient fortress. Bueth was Lord of the manor at the time of the Norman conquest, and is mentioned in one of the early charters of Lanercost priory. In the reign of Henry II., the manor of Bewcastle being in the crown, was granted to Hubert de Vallibus. In the reign of Edward I., this manor was in the Swinburn family: John de Swinburn in 1278 had a grant of a market at Bothcastre on Mondays, and two fairs, one for five days at Lady-day, the other for the same time at the festival of St. Barnabas. Jacoba, heiress of the Swinburns, brought this estate in the reign of Edward III. to Sir John Strivelin. It does not appear when or how it came to the crown; King Edward IV. granted it to his brother Richard Duke of Gloucester; after this, it continued in the crown till the reign of Charles I., when it was granted to Sir Richard Graham: having since passed with the Netherby estate, it is now the property of Sir James Graham, Bart.

    Note: Hubert was a tenant in chief of Baldwin de Redvers, holding land at Farwood Barton in Devonshire. When Baldwin rebelled against King Stephen of England, during The Anarchy, Baldwin was banished to Anjou, where Baldwin entered the services of Empress Matilda. Hubert most likely lost his Devonshire lands and followed his overlord into the service of Matilda, where Hubert was a witness to a number of charters of Matilda in France. He was with Henry FitzEmpress in 1149, when Henry stayed at Devizes, while travelling to be knighted by his uncle King David I of Scotland. He obtained lands and the lordship of Gilsland on the border of Northumberland and Cumbria, as well as Corby and Catterlen in Cumbria. Hubert received the Barony of Gilsland from King Henry II of England, for Hubert's services for Henry II in France, against King Stephen of England and in the 1157 campaign to recover Cumberland from the Scots. Gilsland had been attempted to be granted by Ranulph de Meschines to his brother William, but William was unable to dislodge the native lord, the eponymous Gille, son of Bueth. Gille is known to have died and Henry II, then gifted Gilsland to Hubert in 1158.* Hubert is said to have started construction of castles at Naworth and Corby. He held the lands of Gilsland by the service of two knights to the King. He witnessed a charter by Henry II at Rouen, Normandy in early 1149. Hubert is known to have been dead in 1165, as a confirmation of Gilsland was given to his son Robert in 1165 by Henry II. Marriage and issue He married Grecia, of unknown parentage, they had the following issue: Robert de Vaux, Lord of Gilsland (died c.1195) married Ada, widow of Simon de Morville, the daughter and heiress of William de Engaine, died without surviving issue. Ranulf de Vaux, Lord of Triermain and Torcrossock (died 1199), married Alicia, succeeded his brother, had issue. Eustace de Vaux, Lord of Castle Carrock and Hayton, married Alice, the sister and co-heiress of Robert, son of Bueth. Beatrix de Vaux, married William Briwerre, Lord of Tor Brewer, had issue. Beatrix had been the mistress of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall (died 1175) and was the mother of Henry FitzCount (died 1221) and William FitzCount. *see British History online - Division of Baronies; Gilsland was given to Hubert by Earl Ranulph...(in sources)
