| Notes |
- Note: I have taken my ancestry for Hubert de Burgh from various parts of note (a) below, making his father a half-brother of William FitzAldelin:
(a) According to Dugdale's 'Baronage', he [Hubert de Burgh] was son of a brother of William FitzAldelin, steward of Henry II and lord of Connaught, but no definite evidence is adduced for this statement. For this supposed descent see Round, 'Feudal England'. According to Blomfield's 'Norfolk', he was son of Reyner de Burgh (probably of Burgh near Yarmouth), by Joan, one of the three daughters and coheirs of John, son of Sir William Punchard (by Alice, daughter and coheir of Fulk d'Oyry, lord of Gedney). A Reyner de Burgo, temp. John, took the Baron's side, his surety in making peace being his nepos John de Burgo (query son of Hubert). Blomfield also says Sir Reyner (son of William) de Burgh in the time of Richard I conveyed lands at Burgh and Amerton to John and Robert, sons of Ernald de Burgh, that Burgh was held by the Crown, but was in 1201 given to Hubert. There is no authority but Blomfield's for this descent, which is contradicted in one particular by Hubert's charter, circa 1330 (as Earl of Kent and Justiciar), giving the advowson of Oulton church, Norfolk, to Walsingham "for the soul of 'Alice' my mother who rests in the church of Walsingham". According to Blomfield he had a grandmother 'Alice'. An early charter of Hubert's circa 1201, as King's Chamberlain, confirms to Castle Acre the church of Newton All Saints given by his antecessor William de Boseville (possibly his wife's ancestor). This grant is witnessed by Hameline, Earl Warenne (who d. 1202), William de Warenne, and Hubert's brothers, Geoffrey, Archdeacon of Norwich, and Thomas (de Burgo). In 1221 Geoffrey de Bugh, then Bishop of Ely, as nepos of Alice de Nerford, daughter of John Punchard and widow of Robert de Nerford, dedicated a chapel at Creake, Norfolk, which afterwards became an Austin Abbey. In 1234 it was stated that the manors of Burgh, Beeston, Newton and Suterton were "the inheritance" of Hubert de Burgh. Hubert had a grant of lands in Aylsham and of the manor of Cawston (about 6 miles west of Burgh) from King John. Walter Rye, 'Norfolk Antiq. Misc.', suggests that Hubert came from Burgh near Aylsham, not Burgh in Flegg Hundred. He may have been son of William de Burgh who was party in a dispute as to the church of Colby (north of Aylsham) in 1199 and 1200. [Complete Peerage VII:133 note (a)]
