William d'Aubigny, Seigneur of Aubigny (subsequently Saint-Martind'Aubigny), Normandy; married by 1048 sister of Grimald de Plessis.[Burke's Peerage]
---------------------------------
Aubigny, Alibini, etc., Earls of Arundel
Saint-Martin d'Aubigny: Manche, arr. Coutances, cant. Periers.
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".

A few more dribs & brabs:
Seigneur of Aubigny (Albiniacum) [Ref: CP IX:366, Holloway p20]
(in conjunction with son Roger) benefactor of the Abbey of Lessay [Ref:CP IX:366]
William d'Aubigny, first of the name, married the sister of Grimoult[Ref: McBride citing the Harleian Society, Vol 80, "Knights of Edward I"Vol 1 (A to E), with additions from Crispin and Macary, p6-7]
William d'Aubigny, of St. Martin d'Aubigny, who married the sister ofGrimauld de Plessis, (some reconstructions make him older brotherinstead) [Ref: TAF 21 May 2002] Note: the village of Saint Martind'Aubigny is 16 km. west of St-Lo and 15 km. north of Coutances, inNormandy. The other (unrelated) Aubigny/Albini line is from St. AubinAubigné, a different town... Curt

Research note: As to the link to the Saint Sauvieur line, there isnothing to it - just a guess based on the names of William and Nigeloccuring in both families. [Ref: TAF 21 May 2002] Would love to see anexpansion/basis of this... Curt
