Also Grarigg with the appurtenances, and what he had in Morland.¹

     Gilbert de Lancaster was born say 1085. He married Goditha of Kendal, daughter of Eldred (Eltred) of Kendal and Beatrix de Taillebois.²
     

     Gilbert was also known as Gilbert de Furnesio.³

     Many put Gilbert as a son of Ketel son of Elred of Kendal. George Washington in his article The parentage of William de Lancaster, lord of Kendal⁴ presents a persuasive case that Gilbert was a Norman knight and his wife Goditha was a sister of Ketel and that Ketel was of native origin and in no way connected with Ivo Taillebois as some claim. The article points out that William son of Gilbert de Lancaster and William, his eldest son, confirmed to the brethern of St. Peter (afterwards called St. Leonard) of York land in Newby, Westmorland, which they held "by gift of Ketel, my uncle" (avunculus); and William II de Lancaster subsequently grant to St. Peter's "the whole of the land in Newby which Ketel son of Elftred" gave them there. From this most would conclude then that Gilbert was a brother of Ketel son of Elred. However, even though Ketel was alive after 1120, his son Orm was old enough to witness a charter in 1094. If Gilbert was the eldest son of Ketel that would make him the elder brother or Orm and place him a generation too early. William called Ketel his uncle "avunculus", a term which strictly means "materal uncle". Thus it seems more plausible that Goditha was a sister of Ketel. It's clear that Eldred, Ketel, and Goditha were of native English stock by their names. Gilbert and the names given to all of his recorded children are French Christian names which makes it clear that Gilbert most likely was a Norman knight.

     Gilbert is ofter referred to by historians as "de Tallebois", "de Lancaster", "Fitz Ketel", or "de Furness" (de Furnesio).⁵

     Gilbert II de Lancaster was born say 1110.¹
     

     Farrer describes Gilbert as the father of Warin de Lancaster. Others place Warin as the son of William I de Lancaster. There is also a theory that this is Gilbert de Stainton. His male heir Bernard Fitz Gilbert appears to have died heirless, and Stainton went to Gilbert's daughter Christian de Stainton, who married Michael de Furness, also known as Michael le Fleming. Their son Anselm de Furness inherited Stainton.²

     Gilbert de Lancaster married Sapience ?.³ Gilbert died circa 1220.³
     

     Gilbert and his brother Jordan are normally thought to have been illegitimate. He was enfeoffed of Sockbridge and Hartsop late in his father's life. Gilbert is known to have had a son who was suggested as a hostage when Gilbert FitzReinfrid was asked to provide hostages during the indicidents surrounding the "Magna Carta" in 1216, in order to have his son William de Lancaster III released from custody by King John. Gilbert FitzReinfrid also seems to have given Gilbert de Lancaster possession of Hawkshead according to a charter found by Ragg.³

     Hawise de Lancaster was born circa 1169.² She married Gilbert FitzReinfrid, son of Roger FitzReinfrid and Alice de Breton, on 20 July 1189 in Rouen.^3,2
     

     Hawise appears to be the only legitimate child of William II. After his death, Hawise became a ward of William le Mareschal, known as the "perfect knight". She eventually marriage Gilbet FitzReinfrid, with the permission of Henry II.⁴

     Hawise de Lancaster was born circa 1190.^1,2 She married Peter II le Brus, son of Peter I le Brus and Joan le Grammaire.³ Hawise died after September 1226.²
     

     After the death of William III de Lancaster without surviving children, the Barony was divided between Hawise and Avice, daughters of Gilbert and Helwise FitzReinfrid. Presumably Roger and John were illegitimate and unable to inherit.¹

     Hawise (Helwise) married Peter de Brus, Lord of Skelton and Danby, in Yorkshire, and brought the Barony and Kendall Castle into his family. Her portion was subsequently divided into two seigniories, designated the Marquis Fee and Lumley Fee.¹
