By Walter Money: Gilbert de Gand.Our English genealogists consider this person to have been the son of Baldwin de Mons brother of Queen Matilda of whom we know no other descendants but Arnulf and Baldwin. The truth is that Gilbert was brother of Baldwin de Gand lord of Alost and son of Ralph. His name appears as witness to a document at Alost on his return from England the 25th May 1075. By his wife Alicia de Montfort he had a son named Hugh, founder of the family of the lords of Montfort barons of Cocquanilliers. He survived his eldest son named also Gilbert. His third son Walter inherited all his estates in England. He had besides two daughters, married the one to William constable of Chester the other Emma to Alan de Percy. He held a vast number of manors in capite by grant from William the Conqueror. He was the restorer of Bardney Abbey in Lincolnshire and he was one of the small number of Normans who escaped the massacre by the Danes at York in 1069. He is supposed to have died about 1094. |
