  • Notes 
    • "Hugh Bigod, 3rd earl, who m. Maud, eldest dau. of William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, and by her (who m. 2ndly, William Earl of Warrenne and Surrey,) had issue, I. Roger, his successor. II. Hugh, an eminent lawyer. III.Ralph, m. Berta, dau. of the Baron Furnival . . . His lordship, who was also one of the twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Charta, d. in 1225 . . . " (BurkeG-53)

      Surety of the Magna Carta. He was third Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk. He was born before 1195, and took part from the beginning in the Barons' Magna Charta proceedings. Not many particulars of this Baron's life have been preserved, as he enjoyed for only a few years the title of Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and his father's estates and honors, to which he had succeeded in the 5th of King Henry III. He died four years later, in February 1224/5, having married about 1212 Maud, a sister of the Surety William Marshall. In her right, Hugh acquired the Earldom of Pembroke, and in this rank bore the royal sceptre at the coronation of King Richard
