Notes |
- Alberic (Aubrey) de Vere, who was in high favor with King Henry I., was constituted by the monarch Great High Chamberlain of England in 1133, to hold the same in fee to himself and his heirs. He replaced Robert Malet, Lord of Eye in Suffolk, who had been banished and disinherited from that office. He married Alice (Adeliza) Clare (Tonebruge), daughter of Gilbert de Clare (de Tonebruge), and grand-daughter of Hugh de Clermont, Count of Clermont and his wife Marguerita. Alice became a nun at St. Osyth's Prioy after the death of her husband. In the 5th year of Stephen, 1140, while a joint sheriff (with Richard Basset, then Justiciary of England,) of Surrey, Cambridge, Essex, and several other counties, he was slain in a popular tumult at London. He died May 15, 1141, was buried in Colne Priory, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Aubrey.
