and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, co. Oxford, etc., seigneur of Gournay-en-Brie, 
benefactor of Bellosane, Clairruissel and Fescamp Abbeys and the priory of St. 
Laurent en Lions, Normandy, and Missenden Abbey, co. Buckingham, younger but 
eldest surviving son and heir by his father's 2nd marriage, born say 1150/55 (adult by 
1180). He married before 1193 JULIANE DE DAMMARTIN (descendant of 
Charlemagne), daughter of Aubri II de Dammartin, Count of Dammartin, seigneur of 
Lillebonne-en-Normandie, by Mahaut (or Mabile), daughter of Renaud II, Count of 
Clermont-en-Beauvaisis. They had two sons, Gerard and Hugh, and one daughter, 
Millicent. In 1190 he was granted the manor of Houghton Regis, co. Bedford. In 1191 
he accompanied King Richard on the 3rd Crusade. At the capture of Acre, he 
commanded 100 knights. In 1193, he swung over temporarily to King Philip's side and 
his manors of Houghton and Bledlow were taken. In 1202 the manor of Wendover was 
re-granted to him. In 1202 he joined the French side and Wendover was granted to 
Ralph de Tilley. In 1206 he was pardoned at the instance of Otho the Emperor, and 
permitted to return to England. He was sheriff of cos. Buckingham and Bedford in 
1214, being then "weighed down with sickness." HUGH DE GOURNAY died 25 
October 1214 at Rouen in Normandy "after donning the garb of a Templar and 
discarding it by apostasy."
