• Notes

  "Hugh Giffard's position as constable of the Tower of London and guardian of the Lord Edward, and his wife's as nurse to the royal children and accoucheuse to Eleanor of Provence, ensured court connections for their children." [Oxford Dictionary of National Biography on their son Godfrey Giffard, bishop of Worcester.] "Hugh was tutor to the sons of Henry III; his sudden death, from apoplexy, in 1246, is described by Matthew Paris." [Liberties and Communities in Medieval England, citation details below.]
