1231 or 1232: the Pope set up an inquity into Hubert's arriage on the grounds that Margaret his 3rd wife was related to his 2nd wife. Hubert's anger was widely known and provoked a papal letter of rebuke 9 Jun 1232. [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v4p585]

according to Bloomfield, he was son of Reyner de Burgh by Joan, one of the three daughters and coheirs of John, son of Sir William Punchard (by Alice, da and coh of Fulk d'Oyry, lord of Gedney) [Ref: CP VII p133(a)]

he may have been the son of William de Burgh [Ref: CP VII p133(a)]

famous Justiciar of England under Henry III [Ref: CP XII/2 p171(f)]

It would seem that the family can be traced back no further than Hubert's mother and probable father. "The false trail laid by Dugdale in the seventeenth century was still being faithfully followed in the nineteenth." [Ellis, 183]. The DNB article on Hubert is a notorious example. The family were modest Norfolk gentry - nothing very grand. [Ellis, C. *Hubert de Burgh: A Study in Constancy* (Phoenix House: London, 1952), 183-202] [Ref: Richard Borthwick SGM 11/6/1998]

1229: received the Barony of Knaresborough [Ref: Sanders Baronies p59]

was to pay 100 pounds annually for Barony of Knaresborough, and he could claim the debt of 10000m from the Stuteville family [Ref: Sanders Baronies p59(7)]
