Notes for Walter Giffard and Agnes de Ribemont

1088 Walter II Giffard, son of Walter Giffard of Long Buckingham, was "created earl of Buckingham by William II." [1]

1102 Walter II Giffard died in England on 15 July. He was buried in the Cluniac priory of Longueville in Normandy which he had founded. Walter and his wife Agnes de Ribemont, sister of Crusader Anselm de Ribemont, had a son Walter, who was a minor when his father died in 1102. [2]

1102-1164 Walter III Giffard "was brought up by his mother. Famously loyal to Henry I, he made a significant contribution to Henry's victor at Brémule in 1119. He remained in Normandy during the civil war and never supported Stephen's regime. He left no issue by his wife Ermengarde at his death in 1164, on 18 September, according to the necrology of Longueville priory (Hist. Fr. Xxiii, 27), of which he and his wife were great benefactors." Richard I divided Walter III Giffard's honors between Richard de Clare, earl of Hertford, and Isabel de Clare, countess of Pembroke, wife of William Marshall, both of them descendants of Rohais Giffard," Walter's aunt (daughter of Walter I Giffard).
