  Notes	Hugh le Bigod, 3rd Earl of Norfolk was the son of Roger le Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk and Ida de Tosny. He married Matilda Marshal, daughter of William Marshal and Isabella de Clare, Countess of Pembroke, circa 1207. Hugh Bigod (c. 1182 - 1225) was a member of the powerful early Norman Bigod family and was for a short time the 3rd Earl of Norfolk. Origins He was born circa 1182, the eldest son of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk by his wife Ida de Tosny. Career In 1215 he was one of the twenty-five sureties of Magna Carta of King John. He succeeded to his father’s estates (including Framlingham Castle) in 1221. Marriage & progeny In late 1206 or early 1207, Hugh married Maud Marshal (1192 - 27 March 1248), daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke (1147-1219), Marshal of England, by his wife Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. They had four, or possibly five, children: Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk (c. 1209-1270), died without progeny. Hugh Bigod (1211-1266), Justiciar of England. Married Joan de Stuteville, by whom he had issue. Isabel Bigod (c. 1212- 1250), married twice: **Firstly to Gilbert de Lacy, by whom she had issue; Secondly to John FitzGeoffrey, Lord of Shere, by whom she had issue, including Maud FitzJohn, and Joan FitzJohn who married Theobald le Botiller, and from whom descended the Irish Earls of Ormond. Ralph Bigod (born c. 1215) Contrary to the assertion of Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, there is no evidence for a fourth son called Simon Bigod. A man of that name appears as a witness to one of Earl Hugh's charters (Morris, HBII 2), but as the eighteenth name in a list of twenty, suggesting no close connection to the main branch of the family. He is also named among the knights who surrendered to King John at Framlingham Castle in 1216. He was a probably a descendant of Hugh or William Bigod, half-brothers to Earl Roger II Bigod. Death Hugh died in his early forties in 1225. Very soon after Hugh's death, his widow Maud re-married William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey.
