Narrative

Alice de Montfort, whose brothers, Robert and Hugh, both died sine prole, married Gilbert de Gant. This Gilbert de Gant accompanied his uncle William into England and participated in the triumph at Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish proprietor, named Tour, with numerous other lordships. Gilbert happened to be at York when the Danes in great force on behalf of Edgar Atheling (heir to the Saxon throne) entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoils he had seized to the church, to ease his conscience. Amongst other acts of piety he restored Bardney Abbey, County Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba. Alice and Gilbert had Hugh, Walter de Gant who succeeded his father, Robert and Emma. This great feudal chief died in the reign of William Rufus.
