Geoffrey Talbot (sometimes Geoffrey I Talbot; died c. 1129) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman in medieval England. Talbot held lands around Swanscombe, Kent which had been held in 1086 in the Domesday Book by Helto Dapifer, a follower of Odo of Bayeux.〔 Talbot is recorded as the holder of these lands in the 1166 ''Cartae Baronum'', which states that Talbot had the lands sometime before his death. The ''Cartae'' records that the lands around Swanscombe were assessed as owing 20 knight's fees. These holdings around Swanscombe are considered by some historians as probably comprising a feudal barony.〔Sanders ''English Baronies'' p. 144〕 Sometime after 1086 Talbot held lands of the bishops of Rochester also and around 1100 to 1103 was given control of Rochester Castle by Gundulf of Rochester, then the bishop. Talbot may be the same as a Geoffrey Talbot who held lands in Normandy at Cleuville from the Giffards and another estate at Sainte-Croix-sur Buchy near Rouen.〔Keats-Rohan ''Domesday People'' p. 231〕 For his lands in Kent, Talbot owed castle-guard at Dover Castle.〔Cokayne ''Complete Peerage'' XII: 1 p. 606〕 Talbot married Agnes, who survived him and owed 2 marks to the king for the right to take control of her dower lands.〔 Agnes' family is unclear, with David Crouch stating she was a member of the de Lacy family,〔Crouch ''Reign of King Stephen'' pp. 78–80 and footnotes 16 and 21〕 and the ''Complete Peerage'' states she was probably the daughter of Walter de Lacy and Emma, and sister of Roger and Hugh de Lacy.〔Cokayne ''Complete Peerage'' IX pp. 424–425 Note〕 Katherine Keats-Rohan, however, states that Agnes was probably the daughter of Helto Dapifer.〔 Talbot's heir was his son, Geoffrey Talbot, who came into control of his father's lands in 1129. Talbot and Agnes also had a daughter named Sybil, who appears on a grant of lands to Colchester. There may have been another daughter, as the Agnes who married Hugh de Lacy who died around 1115 was probably a daughter of Talbot.〔 Besides the grant witnessed by Sybil, Talbot and Agnes also granted the advowson of a church at Thorington in Essex to Colchester.〔 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Geoffrey Talbot (died 1129)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
