DNB*

Aubigny, William d' [William de Albini; known as William d'Aubigny Pincerna] (d. 1139), administrator and baron, was the eldest surviving son of Roger d'Aubigny and his wife, Amice (or Avice). Roger and his father William were benefactors of the Benedictine abbey of Lessay, in western Normandy, and came from St Martin-d'Aubigny (Manche) (unwarrantedly Latinized as Albini, a form that itself has many variants) near Coutances. Although other men from the Cotentin prospered in England after Henry I's accession, and Henry I himself has sometimes been credited with the rise of William d'Aubigny, William was in England several years before 1100. He is not named in Domesday Book, but he witnessed an important royal charter in 1091, and was a considerable person in Norfolk by 1092–5, when he was the third named lay addressee, after Roger (I) Bigod and the sheriff, in a royal writ concerning Ramsey Abbey. He held at least one coastal manor in Norfolk, Happisburgh.

Largely thanks to the generosity of Henry I, d'Aubigny built up a substantial estate, mostly in Norfolk—where by 1135 he had enfeoffed twenty-two knights on his demesne—and Kent. Among the d'Aubigny manors in Norfolk were (Old) Buckenham, later the caput of the honour, and Wymondham. William founded a Benedictine priory; the priory church had a fine Norman nave which survives as part of the parish church. The early castle at Old Buckenham, probably also built by William, was later given to the priory for building materials. He was also a benefactor to Thetford Priory.

After 1100 d'Aubigny's involvement in royal business became much heavier, and his attestations therefore more frequent; in March 1101, as a witness to the royal treaty with the count of Flanders, he appeared for the first time as the king's butler (pincerna regis), and as such one of the chief officers of the royal household. He witnessed royal documents regularly throughout the reign (some 120 of them by 1130), though mention of his butlership is usually omitted; as a curialis he itinerated laboriously with the king, and about one-quarter of his attestations were made in Normandy. In England the pipe roll of 1130 also shows him away from court, holding pleas in Essex and Lincolnshire, sometimes with Richard Basset.

William d'Aubigny was present at Stephen's Easter court in 1136, together with another butler, Eudo Martel. According to John of Oxenedes, writing much later, he died on All Saints' day (1 November) 1139; but from another document (Reg. RAN, 3.973) it seems that he was dead by June 1139. He married Maud (Matilda), daughter of Roger Bigod; their son William d'Aubigny (d. 1176) was created earl of Arundel and was the ancestor of the earls of Arundel of the d'Aubigny and Fitzalan families.

DNB*

Grandmesnil, Hugh de (d. 1098), baron and administrator, was the eldest of the three sons of Robert, lord of Grandmesnil (in the canton of St Pierre-sur-Dives, Calvados) in Normandy, and Hawise, daughter of Giroie, lord of Echauffour and Montreuil-l'Argillé (whose family were both vassals and rivals of the Bellême family). Hawise was, secondly, the wife of William, son of Robert, archbishop of Rouen; she eventually became a nun at Montivilliers accompanied by two of her daughters, for whom her son Hugh made provision. When their father died in 1040, Hugh and his brother Robert apparently each inherited part of the family fief. Their youngest brother, Arnold, and their cousin William de Montreuil went to Apulia as mercenaries c.1050. Hugh and Robert were immortalized by their decision to found a monastery, according to a fashion then sweeping Normandy, some time about 1050. The site chosen being unsuitable, they followed the advice of their uncle William fitz Giroie and decided to refound the ancient abbey of St Evroult, first compensating the monks of Bec who then owned the ruins. The monk and historian of St Evroult, Orderic Vitalis, tells of the generous endowment of the abbey by the brothers and their maternal kin. In the same year the younger brother Robert entered the abbey as a monk; he became its abbot in 1059.

Falsely accused by Mabel de Bellême, wife of Roger de Montgomery, in the wake of a rebellion by Robert fitz Giroie, Hugh and Robert de Grandmesnil, among others of their maternal kin, were exiled in 1061. Robert became an abbot in Sicily, but Hugh was recalled in 1064 and subsequently fought with Duke William at Hastings. The move undoubtedly made his fortune. During William's absence in Normandy in 1067, Grandmesnil was among those left in charge. By 1086 he was castellan and sheriff of Leicestershire, where he held sixty-seven manors. He also held extensive property in Nottinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and Suffolk. Several of his Norman vassals held these lands from him, including Hugh and Robert Burdet, Osbert de Neufmarché, and Walter de Beaumais. He returned to Normandy in 1068 to check on the activities of his beautiful French wife, Adelize or Adeliza (d. 11 July 1091), daughter of Ivo, count of Beaumont-sur-Oise. Adelize's English dower lands were recorded separately from her husband's in the Domesday survey of 1086. They included manors in Bedfordshire, which Hugh had acquired by exchange with Ralph Taillebois. After Ralph's death (before 1086) Hugh disputed Ralph's inheritance with Hugh de Beauchamps, Ralph's son-in-law and principal heir, and with the husband of Ralph's niece, Ranulf, brother of Ilger.

Two of Grandmesnil's sons, Ivo and Aubrey, earned their father's disapproval by joining the revolt of the king's son Robert Curthose in 1078. Hugh was among those who helped to effect a reconciliation between the king and Robert in 1079. Although he supported Curthose against William II in 1087–8, Hugh retained his offices under the new king. He was in Normandy in January 1091, assisting Robert de Courcy, husband of his daughter Rohais, against Robert de Bellême. This action provoked conflict with Robert Curthose, but matters were resolved by the appearance of William II in Normandy. Hugh de Grandmesnil was in England when he died, on 22 February 1098, a few days after becoming a monk of St Evroult, whose habit had previously been sent to him for the purpose. His body was buried later the same year at St Evroult, where Orderic Vitalis wrote his epitaph. Hugh and Adelize had ten children: five daughters, Adelina (who married Roger d'Ivry), Rohais (Robert de Courcy), Matilda (Hugh de Montpinçon), Agnes (William de Sai), and Hawise; and five sons, Robert, William, Hugh, Ivo de Grandmesnil, and Aubrey. William (who later settled in Apulia), Ivo, and Aubrey were among the ‘rope-dancers of Antioch’ in 1098, who deserted the besieged crusader army in the city by letting themselves down the walls at night. Robert (d. c.1136) succeeded to Hugh's Norman estates, which he governed as a supporter of Henry I. The English lands went to Ivo, who seems previously to have acted as his father's steward (dapifer).

Biography

From Burke: He was certified to hold the barony of Biwell of the crown by the service of five knights' fees, and to find thirty soldiers for the guard of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, as his progenitors had done from the time of William Rufus. In 18 John he was defending the northern border towards Scotland; and when the King of Scots had subjugated the whole of Northumberland for Louis of France, those generals held out stoutly all the fortresses upon the line of the Tees, particularly that of Barnard Castle, where Eustace de Vesci (who had married the Scottish monarch's sister), coming with his royal brother-in-law to the siege, was slain. He was styled by Matthew Paris "dives et potens."³

DNB*

Percy, William de (d. 1096x9), baron and administrator, probably took his name from Percy-en-Auge, Calvados, Normandy. According to the cartulary of Whitby Abbey, he bore the nickname of Asgernuns or Ohtlesgernuns, which may have been in allusion to his moustaches. An untrustworthy late memorandum in the Whitby cartulary claims that William de Percy came to England with Hugh d'Avranches, earl of Chester, and William the Conqueror in 1067. This may have been an invention to support the charter which the Whitby monks had concocted in his name, supposedly giving them the churches of Whitby and Flamborough. It is unlikely that Percy was originally Hugh's man or that he came to England in his company, but in 1086 he was the tenant of Earl Hugh at Whitby and Sneaton, Yorkshire. In Percy's foundation charter for Whitby Abbey, Earl Hugh was described as Percy's lord.

William de Percy was with the Conqueror on his expedition to Scotland in August 1072, and after his return he superintended the rebuilding of the castle at York under the direction of Hugh fitz Baldric, the sheriff. Soon after 1077 Percy endowed the community of St Peter and St Hilda at Whitby, which had been newly re-established by the hermit Reinfrid, one time monk of Evesham. Shortly afterwards there was a schism within the community, the reasons for which are unknown. Abbot Stephen (d. c.1112) and the main body of the convent moved to Lastingham, part of the royal demesne. Prior Reinfrid and the remainder of the Whitby monks later moved to Hackness, with Percy's consent, in order to escape from the assaults of robbers and pirates. It appears that Percy attempted to recover his donations from Abbot Stephen and return them to Reinfrid, whom he had first sponsored at Whitby. The monks went back to Whitby, possibly by c.1090 and certainly before 1096 when Percy issued a charter confirming them in considerable possessions. William Rufus granted and confirmed various privileges and the church of Allsaints, Fishergate, York, to Prior Reinfrid and the monks at Whitby and later liberties, the church of Hackness, and various lands to Percy's brother, Prior Serlo de Percy.

In 1086 William de Percy was a tenant-in-chief in Yorkshire (where he held the bulk of his lands), in Lindsey, in Nottinghamshire, and in Hampshire. The lands he held as tenant-in-chief in Yorkshire were worth approximately £64 19s. Domesday Book also records that he was a tenant of the bishop of Durham at Scorbrough, Yorkshire, and in several other locations in the county. Percy's son Alan was to come into conflict with the bishop over holdings at Lund, Holme on the Wold, and Welton in the reign of William Rufus. William de Percy also possessed property in the city of York and the church of St Mary, Castlegate. He was present when William the Conqueror heard a plea relating to the property of the abbey of Fécamp c.1086, and he later witnessed charters of William Rufus in the period 1091–5. He is known to have built castles at Topcliffe, Spofforth, Sneaton, and Hackness, in Yorkshire.

William de Percy married Emma de Port, a kinswoman of Hugh de Port of Basing, and the marriage brought Hambledon, Hampshire, to the Percy family. Emma herself was a benefactor of Whitby, granting to the abbey lands in Cambridgeshire which had formed part of her dowry; she survived her husband. William de Percy went on the first crusade, in 1096, and died in Palestine, where he was buried. He was succeeded by his son and heir, Alan de Percy (d. 1130×36). His other sons were: Walter; William, who may be identical with a certain William de Percy, canon of York; and Richard of Dunsley, who patronized the family foundation at Whitby with his eldest brother. In 1166 William de Percy's grandson and namesake, another William, answered for twenty-eight knights' fees of the old enfeoffment and just over eight fees of the new enfeoffment. Percy's brother Serlo was prior of Whitby Abbey and his nephew William de Percy was later the abbot of the house in the reign of Henry I. Picot de Percy, a Yorkshire tenant of William de Percy in 1086 who witnessed a number of Whitby charters, was probably closely related to William. Another likely kinsman was Ernald de Percy, a tenant of Robert de Brus, who witnessed William's charter for Whitby c.1090–96.
