Osbern (or Osborne) Giffard (c. 1020 – c. 1085) was one of the knights who invaded England in 1066 under William the Conqueror.[2] He was rewarded with holdings throughout Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset.[3] He settled in Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, where he built a castle which was destroyed by Edward II in 1322. It is believed that the Gloucestershire village of Stoke Gifford is named after him.[4][5] Giffard's nephew Walter became the 1st Earl of Buckingham.[6]
