Imbert Pugeys
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imbert Pugeys, or Imbert de Savoie, (died 1262) was a valet in the kings chamber who became constable at Hadleigh Castle in 1244 and Oxford Castle in 1253. Advancing further, from 1257, the Savoyard became a steward of the royal household of King Henry III of England[1] and castellan of the Tower of London before eventually dying in 1262.[2] His influence at court in 1262 is evidenced by his joining the Savoyard witness list for a charter relating to Queen Alianor’s dowry.[3]
Imbert married Joan de Aguillon; their son gave the family name to what became Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire.[4]
