• Notes

  Also called Gilbert fitz Roger. "Steward to Henry II, in France 118-89, and later to Richard I; was justice of the King's Court 1185, sheriff of Lancashire 1205-1216, and of Yorkshire 1209-1212." [Ancestral Roots] Andrew Lancaster (citation details below): Gilbert Fitz Reinfred. Often referred to in his charters in a more complete way as Gilbert son of Roger Fitz Reinfred. (Reinfred seems to have been his grandfather.) His ancestors are thought to have also used the name or title of "De Bruere". Gilbert was William de Lancaster II’s son-in-law, but sometimes dubiously said to be a distant relative of the de Lancasters, with various groundless connections between Reinfrid, Taillebois and Workington being spread over the internet. More seriously, he is argued to have been the first Lord of Kendal who was really a Baron of Kendal. He was an important man, who was constantly in the retinue of King Henry while in France in 1180-89. Later, he also took part in the incidents surrounding the creation of the Magna Carta in the time of King John, leading to his sons imprisonment during action taking place near Rochester. His children’s marriages show a very strong alliance with yet another Anglo-Scottish dynasty, the "De Brus" family. He was Sheriff of Lancaster from 1205 to 1215.
