Nigel was probably a younger son of the Albini Lords of Cainho. He held 3 knights' fees of that barony in 1166. He appears in Bedford, Bedforshire, in 1202 and was alive in 1204. In 1086 Marston Moretaine formed a part of the possessions of Nigel de Albini, and was then a part of the barony of Cainho. Cainhoe was the name of a place located in Bedfordshire. There is no place in England by that name now. It is of interest to note the relative close proximity of Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, and Marston St. Lawrence, Northhampshire. See the note under Humphrey de MERESTONA.
