[Pullen010502.FTW]
There is a Hubert de Burgh (d.12 May 1243)earl of Kent who justciar of England (1215-32) and chief governor of Ireland for about a month in 1232. He married three times (according to *Complete peerage* VII:140-142.
In the 3rd edition of the *Handbook of British Chronology*, 1986, reprinted
with corrections 1996 (Cambridge University Press), on p 72, there is:
"Hubert de Burgh (e. of Kent 1227(. Appd. justiciar 15 June 1215."
CP VII:133 says that Hubert's parentage is Unknown. The lengthy footnote
acompanying this remark mentions the Connaught filiation as one of a number
of options. The problem with the Connaught filiation is that Dugdale who
proposed it gave no evidence for it. Vol.IX of *A New History of Ireland* (Oxford, 1984) edited by T Moody et al. follows Dugdale.
A Letter Close of 13 October 1234 addressed to the justiciar of Ireland (Maurice fitz Gerold) refers to Hubert as uncle of Richard de Burgh. Similar sources also confirm that William de Burgh was Richard's father. There is then a high probability that Hubert and William were brothers. [C Ellis *Hubert de Burgh: a study in constancy* (Phoenix House, London, 1952)
192-193; *A New History of Ireland* (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1984) IX:170
Table 38]. Apart from the fact that Hubert says his mother's name is 'Alice'
(Ellis, 191) and that we now know his place of name (Ellis 188-190), as has
been said above nothing more is known of his ancestry. I amost forgot, there
is some ground for thinking his father's name is 'Walter'.
Clarence Ellis was the author of: Hubert de Burgh, A Study in Contancy,
published in 1952. It has a very complete study on Hubert. Appendix I has "The Ancestry and Birthplace of Hubert de Burgh. His Irish Kinsmen". Hubert and William's family are East Anglian, Norfolk and Suffolk. Ellis discusses the confusion associated with the cross-connection of Robert of Mortain and Hubert and William.
David Douglas in William the Conqueror discusses Harlowen de Burgh,
more usually named de Conteville...See also Loyd: The Origins of Some
Anglo-Norman Families.
