The Anglo Norman Corbets by Barbara Coulton

Prominent at Matilda's 'court' were several connections of the Corbet family through 
Sibyl and her sister Alice. Sibyl had married Herbert fitz Herbert, a son of the 
chamberlain of Henry I; Alice married a kinsman of Brien fitz Count, of Wallingford, 
one of the empress's main supporters: he was William Boterel of Botreaux. . . .

We do not know when or where Sibyl and her sister Alice died, but there is an odd 
footnote to their history in an old account of Asthall church in Oxfordshire. "On the 
north side of the church ... is the effigy of a female figure recumbent, on a stone 
coffin, situated within an elegantly Gothic arch. It is said to contain the remains of 
Alice Corbett, concubine to King Henry I., the daughter of Sir Robert Corbett of 
Warwickshire." So a memory lingered, though confused.

Note: Was this "confused" effigy of Sibyl rather than Alice? Or was Alice also a 
mistress of Henry I?
