William d'Aubigny [3758] 25
![]()
Aubigny, Alibini, etc., Earls of Arundel. Saint-Martin d'Aubigny: Manche, arr. Coutances, cant. Periers. The early history of the family will be found in The Complete Peerage, surname Mowbray, new ed., vol. ix, p p. 366-7. The details of their benefactions to the abbey of Lessay as confirmed by a charter of Henry II, 1185-1188, identify St-Martin d'Aubigny with the Aubigny which was the caput of their Norman honour; thus the "eccle siam De Folgeriis" is Feugeres 2 1/2 kil. SE of Aubigny, the "feria Sanc ti Christofori" mentioned in conjunction with the "forum Albinneii" is St- Christophe-d'Aubigny, a parish now united to that of St-Martin, and "March esis" is Marchesieux, 5 kil. NE of Aubigny. There is no trace of a feudal castle at Aubigny itself, but Gerville found nearby at Le Mesnil-Vigot the remains of a considerable castle with a well-defined motte, then known as "le chateau De St-Clair". ![]() William married Daughter de Plessis [3759] [MRIN: 1075], daughter of de Plessis [27963] and Unknown, before 1048. |
