Biography
Gilbert de Venables,[1][2] earliest known lord of the Cheshire barony of Kinderton.
Gilbert is said to have come from Venables, Normandy. He sometimes appears in records as "Gilbert Venator". His parents are unknown; a pedigree records him as a younger brother of Stephen of Blois, but this has not been verified with contemporary sources.[3]
He held the honourial barony of Kinderton, under Hugh d'Avranches (abt.1047-1101), Earl of Chester.[3]
Gilbert is noted in the Domesday Book of 1086 as holding numerous properties in Cheshire.[3][4] In 1093, he gifted property to the abbey of St Werburgh, as confirmed by a charter of the Earl of Chester, made sometime between about 1096 and 1101.[3][5]
Research Notes
- The birth year is a guess and could be wrong by several decades. The only dates for Gilbert at this point is that he was living at the time of the Domesday survey, published in 1086, and that he gifted property to St Werburgh's Abbey in 1093. Donnelly-2171 07:12, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
