The early history of the family will be found in The Complete Peerage,surname Mowbray, new ed., vol. ix, pp. 366-7. The details of theirbenefactions to the abbey of Lessay as confirmed by a charter of HenryII, 1185-1188, identify St-Martin d'Aubigny with the Aubigny which wasthe caput of their Norman honour; thus the "ecclesiam de Folgeriis" isFeugeres 2 1/2 kil. SE of Aubigny, the "feria Sancti Christofori"mentioned in conjunction with the "forum Albinneii" isSt-Christophe-d'Aubigny, a parish now united to that of St-Martin, and"Marchesis" is Marchesieux, 5 kil. NE of Aubigny. There is no trace of afeudal castle at Aubigny itself, but Gerville found nearby at LeMesnil-Vigot the remains of a considerable castle with a well-definedmotte, then known as "le chateau de St-Clair".
