Gilbert Maminot, or Magminot, (d. August, 1101), was a Norman bishop in the eleventh century. He was born of 'a substantial Norman family of the middle rank',[1] in Courbépine, his father being the knight Robert of Courbépine.[2] He was known to his contemporaries as a capable administrator, and, according to Marjorie Chibnall, he was more than a match for Robert Curthose, who had succeeded his father, William the Conqueror, to the title of Duke of Normandy.[3] Prior to his ascension to the see of Lisieux, Maminot had been the personal physician and chaplain to William the Conqueror.[2]
