Notes:

William de Aubigne (Brito) I was a younger son of the Breton seigneur Main. His cognomen Brito distinguished him from his Norman namesake, William the Pincerna (Butler) , who came from Saint-Martin-Aubigne (Manche). William de Aubigne (Brito) assisted in the victory of Tinchebray in 1106, and was in favor with Henry I, attesting numerous royal charters, the earliest belonging to the periods from 1104 to 1116. William married Cecilia, daughter of Roger Bigod and Adeliza de Tosny, the principal coheiress of her maternal grandfather Robert de Tosny, lord of the honour of Belvoir in Lincolnshire. William de Aubigne (Brito) appears to have held land in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Essex, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire, some or all of which was his wife's marriage portion. The bulk of the Tosny inheritance, including Belvoir, appears not to have been held by William and Cecilia until c. 1130, after the death of Cecilia's mother Adeliza. Cecilia's younger sister Maud married William de Aubigne Pincera.
