RICHARD FITZGILBERT, of Bienfaite and Orbec, Normandy, lord of Clare, Suffolk, Tonbridge, Kent, Standon, Hertfordshire, Blechingley, Surrey, etc., son of Gilbert Fitz Godfrey, Count of Brionne, born about 1030-35

He was among those consulted about the proposed invasion of England in the assembly at Bonneville-sur-Touques in 1066, but there is no direct evidence of his personal participation at Hastings or in the campaign. Nevertheless, he was a significant figure soon afterwards and occurs as a witness of royal charters throughout the reign of King William the Conqueror. He was rewarded with no fewer than 176 lordships, which consisted of two concentrations of lands, one in Kent and Surrey, and the other in Suffolk and Essex. His holdings at Tonbridge, Kent and Clare, Suffolk were both given motte and bailey castles

He played a leading role in suppressing the rebellion of Roger de Breteuil, Earl of Hereford and Ralph de Gael in 1075 or 1076. In 1078 or 1079 he and his wife, Rohese, sent to Bec Abbey for a colony of monks to replenish the vacant convent at Neotsbury, Huntingdonshire. Sometime before 1086 he granted the monks of Bec his manors of Tooting and Streatham, and land in Horsham (in Walton-on-Thames), all in Surrey. Sometime before 1090 he confirmed to the monks of Bec two thirds of his demesne tithes and one villain in Standon, Hertfordshire; and two thirds of his demesne tithes in Blechingley, Chivington, Woodmansteme, Tolworth, Chipstead, Betchworth, and Walton Leigh, Surrey and houses in Southwark, Surrey and Tonbridge, Kent
RICHARD FITZ GILBERT died about 1090, and was buried at St. Neots, Huntingdonshire. His widow, Rohese, was still living in 1113, when she granted the whole of her manor of Eynesbury, Huntingdonshire to St. Neot's Priory, Huntingdonshire |

| Burial | 4 January 1136 | He was buried on 4 January 1136 at Interred or buried in the cemetery at Reading AbbeyG in Reading, Berkshire, England (Medieval), EuropeG. |
| Name | | Henry Beauclerc, I of Normandië, Don's 27th GGF, was also known as Hendrik, I.3 |
| Name | | He was also known as Henry Sinclair "The Lion." |
| Name | | He was also known as Plantagenêt. |
| Note | | Henry was the youngest son of William the Conqueror and Matilda, born at Selby, in Yorkshire in September of 1068 and held the title of Duke of Normandië at his birth
On August 2, 1100 he became the King of England ("Koning van Engeland" in Dutch); he was crowned shortly after the suspicious death of his brother, William (on page 45); he was then christened on August 5, 1100 in Selby, West Riding of Yorkshire, Medieval England
Henry gained his nickname, "Beauclerc" because of his education—Beauclerc means "great scholar". He was also known as Hendrik I, Henry Sinclair "The Lion" and as a Plantagenêt—he could have been an early Plantagenêt before his death as this was established in about 1130 but I chose to not use this… this is from Fulk's son Geoffroy (b 24-Aug-1113) who took this nickname from his use of sprigs of "yellow broom blossom" that he wore in his hat; the name is from "genêt" (the French name for "planta genista"), Latin for the broom shrub
-------------------------------------------------------------
Jealousies & dissensions broke out between Henry and his elder brothers quite early: on the sudden mysterious death of his brother King William in the New Forest in 1100 (who was hunting with him), he immediately seized the crown and the public treasures, his other brother Robert being not yet returned from the crusade
To strengthen his hold on the affections of his subjects, he granted a charter re-establishing the laws of the Confessor, abolished the curfew, professed a reform in his own charter and manners and married Princess Maud, daughter of Malcolm, King of Scotland and niece of Edgar Atheling, thus uniting the Norman and Saxon races
When his brother Robert invaded England in 1101, war was prevented by negotiation and the grant to Robert of a pension of 3,000 marks
Henry spent several years shifting loyalties from one brother to the other which led to the brothers signing a mutual accession treaty to keep Henry from ever holding the crown; he was granted 5,000 pounds of silver when his brother William died
------------------------------------------------------------As Don's 27 paternal GGF, 4 of his 6 wives also have family links (3 are shown as in another branch)
Henry married Eadgyth (who later changed her name to Matilda) and had two sons and a daughter. One of the sons died early, and the other, William, died in the wreck of the White ship in 1120. Matilda died in 1118, and Henry remarried, but that marriage produced no children; he had two illegitimate children: Robert de Mellent, Earl of Gloucester, and Sibylla, wife of King Alexander I of Scotland
--------------------------------------------------------------His death as King of England on Wednesday, December 11th, 1135 in Medieval France at the age of 67 is not known-surviving in 1135 was difficult; he was Interred on January 4, 1136 at Reading Abbey, Berkshire, Medieval England
