Gilbert de Venables information

Gilbert de Venables, aka Gilbert the Hunter, was a Norman lord who participated in the Norman Conquest of England. He was born in Venables, Eure, presumably the son of Odo II, Count of Blois (since he is mentioned as younger brother of Stephen, Count of Blois by Sir Peter Leycester).^[1] He was also a kinsman of Hugh d'Avranches, Earl of Chester and fought in his retinue during the Norman Conquest.^[2] His second wife was Margery, daughter of Waltheof (son of Wolfric, lord of Halton).^[3]

He was the first baron of Kinderton and the progenitor of the English de Venables family; his grandson Gilbert II de Venables also held the title of Baron of Kinderton.^[1] Gilbert was one of the nine barons of the county-palatine of Chester.^[1]^[4] Although his name derives from Venables, Eure it is likely that he was the huntsman who served the Duke of Normandy based on the etymology; "Veneur" (huntsman), and "Abilis" (able).^[1] His seal was a falcon sinister regardant although his descendants used a variation of the coat of arms of the counts of Blois, which suggests this was his coat of arms too.^[1]

He issued a charter in 1087 in which Ralph de Brereton was a witness.^[4]^[5] There has been speculation that ever since Ralph de Brereton there has been a close relationship between the de Venables and the de Brereton possibly that the Breretons acted as the de Venables squire/attendant.^[5] Since the de Breretons were given Gilbert's third most valuable fief and were recorded as witnesses in his charters it is likely that this was the case.
