Biography
He married Matilda (or Maud) de St. Hilary, widow of Roger de Clare, 2nd Earl of Hertford, and among their children was William d'Aubigny, 3rd Earl of Arundel. The Duke of Norfolk's Archives Assistant Librarian Sara Rodger wrote that William "did have three sons, William who succeeded him as Earl in 1196, and Alan and Geoffrey, of whom we know nothing".[citation needed] His daughter, Matilda d'Aubigny, married Gilbert, earl of Strathearn on an unknown date.[3] They had ten children, and she died between 1200 and 1210, and presumably buried in Inchaffrey abby, which she and her husband founded in 1198. In 1176/7 he was created Earl of Sussex and in 1190 he inherited the earldom of Arundel.
