Gilbert DE L'AIGLE
- Marriage (1): Juliana DU PERCHE
- Died: 1114-1118
General Notes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Aigle_family Gilbert, lord of L'Aigle, would serve successive Norman dukes, first Robert Curthose, then following his departure, William II of England, who would leave him to garrison Le Mans after its capture. With the latter's death, Gilbert is found both in England with Henry I and in Normandy with Robert, but an ongoing squabble between his brother-in-law, Count Rotrou of Mortagne, and the latter's kinsman, Curthose's ally Robert de Belleme, seems to have driven Gilbert firmly into the king's camp, and Henry would meet with Archbishop Anselme at L'Aigle in 1105. Gilbert became the agent of Henry I of England in Normandy after the king succeeded in wresting it from his brother the next year. His loyalty to the king was also rewarded by the grant of lands in England, in the Rape of Pevensey. His death occurred on a 15 May, the year being not precisely known, but after 1114 and before 1118
Gilbert married Juliana DU PERCHE, daughter of Geoffrey II DU PERCHE , Count of Mortagne and Count of Perche and Beatrice DE MONTDIDIER. (Juliana DU PERCHE died after 1132.)
