4) Gilbert de NevilleBORN_SHORT ± 1052 Neuville-sur-Tocque, Orne, Normandy, France, DIED_SHORT after 1118 Walcot, Lincolnshire, England Gilbert Neville, b c1035, came to England as an admiral in William the Conqueror's fleet.... The father of Gilbert is supposedly Richard Teutonicus D'Novavilla., b c1000 in Neuville, Normandy. Richard's father was supposedly Baldricus Teutonius or Baldric the German. "'Gilbertus Normanus' commonly called the _Admiral_, is placed at the head of the Nevill pedigree by all the early genealogists. Leland styles him the Conqueror's Admiral, on the authority of a 'roulle of the genealogie of the Erles of Westmoreland'. Henry Drummond--into whose work Stapleton's researches into the Norman ancestry of the Nevills were incorporated--considered Leland's information as a mere family fabrication, introduced towards the close of the 15th century. Whether the device of the ship on the seal of Henry de Nevill (date circ. 1200) supports the tradition, or whether the tradition arose from the seal, is a matter on which opinions differ. Foulk d'Anou, the uncle of Gilbert, certainly furnished forty ships for the invasion of England. There is no other evidence to support Leland's assertion that Gilbert himself was Admiral. | |||
