| Notes |
- The following information was contained in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com:
said to have been related to Richard D'AVRANCHES, father of Hugh, Earl of Chester [Ref: CP IX:575(b)]
The first person who, bearing the name of Bigod or Bigot, appears in history is Robert le Bigod, a poor knight, who gained the favour of William, Duke of Normandy, by discovering to him the intended treachery of William, count of Martain. This Robert may have been the father of Roger, and one or the other, or both, may have been present at the battle of Hastings. He may also be the same mentioned as holding lands at Malitot, Loges, and Chanon in Normandy, and as serving the duke in his household as one of his seneschals. He was small of body, but brave and bold, and assailed the English gallantly. [Ref: DNBiography II:484]
FWIW, if you go to Keats-Rohan's PROSOPON at
http://www.linacre.ox.ac.uk/research/prosop/dbase.stm
a (sample) chart of the COEL database also indicates a dau Matilda Bigod who m. Hugo de Hosdenc & had a son Humfrid Bigod.

Curt
