D'Aubigny (Albini) & de Mowbray families

These families came from the Norman village of Saint Martin d'Aubigny in Normandy. William d'Aubigny was an important member of Henry I of England's household. After Henry's death he married the widow Queen consort Adeliza, and became lord of Arundel in her right. He was loyal to Stephen of England, who made him Earl of Arundel. In 1153 he helped arrange the truce between Stephen and Henry Plantagenet, known as the Treaty of Wallingford, which brought and end to The Anarchy. When the latter ascended the throne as Henry II, he confirmed William's earldom and gave him direct possession of Arundel Castle (instead of the possession in right of his wife he had previously had). He remained loyal to the king during the 1173 revolt of Henry the Young King, and helped defeat the rebellion.

Nigel d'Aubigny was bow-bearer to the king in the reign of William II (Rufus) and was knighted by Henry I, who gave him the manor of Egmanton with parks in Sherwood Forest, but Nigel passed these on to Robert Davil. For his valour and military skill, Henry I granted him tenancy of Camvile and Wyvile. This caused Nigel to support to Henry I against his brother Robert Curthose - in the battle of Tinchebrai, Nigel slew the horse of Curthose and brought him to the king. For this, Henry I gave him the lands of Robert, Baron of Frontebeof - Stutevile in England which Robert had fortified for Curthose. . ... more
