Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_d%27Aubigny_(Brito)
William d'Aubigny (d. after 1148), was an itinerant justice under King Henry I of 
England. He was commonly known by the appellation Brito.

William was a son of Main d'Aubigny, Breton lord of Saint-Aubin-d'Aubigné (now in 
Ille-et-Vilaine department) and Adelaide de Bohun.[1] He fought at the Battle of 
Tinchebray (1106) and was high in Henry I's favor.[1] He was allowed to marry Cecily, 
the elder daughter of Roger Bigod, sheriff of Norfolk. Through her, he acquired a part 
of the honour of Belvoir in Leicestershire - his castle became the centre of the family 
estates - after his mother-in-law, who had been the heir of Robert de Todeni, lord of 
Belvoir, died about 1130.[1] The couple had four or five sons and two daughters.[1] 
His heir was William, who married Maud Fitz Robert, daughter of Robert Fitz Richard. 
The Magna Carta surety, William d'Aubigny, was their son -- his grandson.[2]
THIS IS A DIFFERENT WILLIAM D'AUBIGNY THAN THE ONE WHO MARRIED HIS 
WIFE'S SISTER.
