Biography

Hubert was lord of a Norman barony based around Rye, which is close to the English channel at Bayeux, now in the Calvados departement, France. [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, England.

Hubert was the son of Baron Eudes (Odo) de Rie. Keats-Rohan lists his children as follows:[3]

Eudo, dapifer [Seneschal or Governor].
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)

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.

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...

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.
Research Notes

Based on her maritagium at Domesday Book, a proposal has been made that Azelina widow of Ralf de Taillebois is probably a sister of Eudo the dapifer, but this should be considered uncertain.[4]

Research Notes

a. He was the younger son of Roger de Toeni, and one of the greater tenants-in-chief in 1086, holding nearly 70 manors in Staffordshire, over 25 in Warwickshire, over 20 in Lincolnshire, among others. He granted Wrottesley and Loynton in co. Stafford to Evesham Abbey in 1072, and later became a monk at Evesham. He died probably in 1088.

b. With his eldest son, Robert, he made grants to the Priory of Kenilworth. His wife, Maud, is said to have been a daughter of an Earl of Chester, but no such daughter is known.

c. He was sheriff of Staffordshire in 1155, an office he held until 1160. He made a gift of his chapel of Stafford to Stone Priory circa 1138 and 1147. He last appears in the Pipe Rolls in 1177-78, and probably died between that date and 1184-85.[4]

Burke's "Dormant Peerages" (London, 1883, p.499): Nicholas "was sheriff of Staffordshire" in the time of King Henry I. His wife is Maude Meolte.

ROBERT [I], son of ROGER [I] de Tosny & his [second wife Godechildis ---] (-1088, bur [Evesham Abbey]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1130] under which Henry I King of England confirmed donations to Conches, including the donation of "ecclesiam de Octona" made by "Robertus de Stafort filius Rogerii de Totteneio" with the consent of "filio meo Nicholao"[560]. Robert´s connection with the Tosny family is confirmed by the undated charter under which "Robertus de Stafford" confirmed donations to Wotton Wawen Abbey, Warwickshire by "avus meus Robertus de Toenio et pater meus Nicolaus de Stafford"[561]. No indication has been found of the identity of Robert [III]´s mother, but assuming that he was legitimate the chronology suggests that he must have been born from his father´s [second] marriage. Domesday Book records "Robert of Stafford" holding Denchworth in Wantage Hundred in Berkshire; "Robert de Tosny" holding Miswell in Tring Hundred and Barwythe in Danish Hundred in Hertfordshire; "Robert of Stafford" holding land in Oxfordshire; Stoneton in Northamptonshire [Warwickshire]; numerous properties in Warwickshire; and Staffordshire[562]. The entries in Hertfordshire precede those which record the holdings of Raoul de Tosny in Hertfordshire, which suggests that they refer to the Robert Tosny/Stafford who was Raoul´s brother. "Robertus de Stafford…monachus factus in infirmitate mea" donated Wrottesley and Loynton to Evesham abbey, for "conjuge mea et filio meo Nicholao", by charter dated 1088[563]. "Robertus de Staffordia et Robertus filius meus et hæres" confirmed donations of property to Evesham Monastery by "Rodbertus avus meus…et pater meus Nicholaus" by undated charter[564].

m [AVICE de Clare], daughter of --- (-after 1088, bur [Stone priory]). A table (obviously of late composition because of the language), hanging in Stone priory at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, names "Avice de Clare" as the wife of Robert and records their burial at Stone[565]. It is far from certain that this information is accurate. No person of that name has yet been identified, and the name "Clare" only appears to have been used by the descendants of Robert de Brionne from the early 12th century (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A-C).[5]
