Notes for Gilbert (Spouse 1)
http://www.castlewales.com/mar_chld.htmlOn Richard’s death, his brother Gilbert was his heir and successor. Gilbert had been intended for an ecclesiastical career. He had taken minor orders and received the livings of Orford in Suffolk on May 30, 1225, and of Wigham in Kent on September 19, 1228. He was in Ireland when Richard was killed, and he returned to Wales. On Gilbert’s return to England, he was granted a pardon by King Henry III for taking part in Richard’s rebellion. His brothers Walter and Anselm were also pardoned. On June 11, 1235, Gilbert was knighted and invested with all his brother’s lands and offices by King Henry at Worcester.
