He married three times (according to *Complete peerage* VII:140-14 2. In the 3rd edition of the *Handbook of British Chronology*, 1986, reprint ed with corrections 1996 (Cambridge University Press), on p 72, there is: "Hu bert de Burgh (e. of Kent 1227(. Appd. justiciar 15 June 1215." CP VII:133 sa ys that Hubert's parentage is unknown. The lengthy footnote acompanying this r emark mentions the Connaught filiation as one of a number of options. The pr oblem with the Connaught filiation is that Dugdale who proposed it gave no evi dence for it. Vol.IX of *A New History of Ireland* (Oxford, 1984) edited by T Moody et al. follows Dugdale. A Letter Close of 13 October 1234 addressed to the justiciar of Ireland (Maurice fitz Gerold) refers to Hubert as uncle of Richard de Burgh. Similar sources also confirm that William de Burgh was Rich ard's father. There is then a high probability that Hubert and William were b rothers. [C Ellis *Hubert de Burgh: a study in constancy* (Phoenix House, Lon don, 1952) 192-193; *A New History of Ireland* (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 198 4) IX:170 Table 38]. Apart from the fact that Hubert says his mother's name is 'Alice' (Ellis, 191) and that we now know his place of name (Ellis 188-190) , as has been said above nothing more is known of his ancestry. I amost forg ot, there is some ground for thinking his father's name is 'Walter'. Claren ce Ellis was the author of: Hubert de Burgh, A Study in Contancy, published in 1952. It has a very complete study on Hubert. Appendix I has "The Ancestry a nd Birthplace of Hubert de Burgh. His Irish Kinsmen". Hubert and William's fa mily are East Anglian, Norfolk and Suffolk. Ellis discusses the confusion ass ociated with the cross-connection of Robert of Mortain and Hubert and William . David Douglas in William the Conqueror discusses Harlowen de Burgh, more us ually named de Conteville...See also Loyd: The Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Fa milies. |
