Gilbert De Umfreville (d.1245)
Lord of Redesdale 1226-1245
The E ldest son of Richard Lord of Redesdale. Sykes says the he died in
Passion wee k. By his marriage to Maud/Matilda of Angus (the Scottish
King's second Cousi n) his son Gilbert inherited the Earldom of Angus.
Gilbert may have been usin g the title of Earl between 1243 and 1245 so I
have included him in this sect ion. Manor lands at Otterburn are mentioned
in Gilbert's will amongst the lis t of his property. This may indicate
that he was the owner if not the builder of Otterburn tower. The Hamilton
family trace their ancestry back to Gilbert through a shadowy figure
known as Gilbert De Beaumont alias De Hamildon (Or Gilbert De Hamildun)
claiming him as a son of Gilbert and his first wife Theo phania. During
the Scottish wars of independance many records were lost so it is
difficult to trace people from these times. Things are also complicated
by the customs of referring to nobles by either their surname OR their
landh olding. It does seem odd that Gilbert should name two of his sons
Gilbert eve n if they do have different mothers although it is not
uncommon for two sons to have the same name if one died as an infant,
Robert, the 2nd Earl, did thi s.
