Hubert was lord of a Norman barony based around Rye, which is close to the English channel at Bayeux. (Modern postcode 14400.)[1] He was mentioned by the romance writer Wace in his Roman de Rou, for helping the young King William with the help of his four un-named sons.[2] He does not name the sons. The best-known one in English history is Eudo, the dapifer. He was the founder of St. John's Abbey in Colchester, Essex Co., England. Hubert was the son of Baron Eudes (Odo) de Rie. Keats-Rohan lists his children as follows:[3] Eudo dapifer. Adam fitz Hubert, a tenant of Bishop Odo in Kent, whose heir was Eudo. Humphrey Robert, the bishop of Sées Muriel, wife of Osbern "perhaps" Ralph fitz Hubert who held Crick in Derbyshire in 1086 (based upon his byname, which means his father's name was Hubert) quote? Hubert joined his liege lord, William the Duke of Normandy, at the conquest of England in 1066 with all 4 of his sons. After a few years, the Conqueror named him the Royal "Intendant" or Steward of Normandy and sent him back to France to manage his, William's, interests there and put down any attempts to usurp his ducal throne while he was consolidating his power in England. Baron Hubert, by now at least 60 years old, obeyed. He never returned to England. His sons were magnificently rewarded by King William, in England. quote? The eldest, Ralph, generally called FitzHubert, was named castellan of Nottingham and held lands in Leicester, Stafford, Nottingham, and Lincoln, but the head of his great barony was in Derby in which he possessed the whole estates of a rich [dispossessed] Saxon named Levenot, comprising 36 manors. His male line died out with his grandson, Hubert, who left 2 daughters, in about the third year of the reign of Henry III... quote? Hubert died before 1086 in Normandy, France. The Domesday Book of 1086 in England mentions his four sons but not Baron Hubert, indicating he had died by then. |
