Notities over GEOFFREY TALBOT I

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.

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. For his lands in Kent, Talbot owed castle-guard at Dover Castle.

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, and the Complete Peerage states she was probably the daughter of Walter de Lacy and Emma, and sister of Roger and Hugh de Lacy. 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.

Swanscombe
In 1086 Geoffrey Talbot and Agnes were tenants of Hugh de Gournai in Essex. Geoffrey was probably the same Geoffrey Talbot who became a tenant of Gundulf of Rochester after1086, was established in Rochester castle by 1100-3 and was dead in 1129-30 (PR 31 Henry I, 67), when his widow Agnes owed 2 golden marks to have her dower rights. His heir was a son Geoffrey Talbot II, who accounted for his father’s lands in 1129. Geoffrey’s
Kent fief, based upon Swanscombe in Kent, had been held by in 1086 by Helto dapifer, a man of Odo of Bayeux.

His wife Agnes (who used erroneously to be identified as a de Lacy, see Comp. Peer. ix, 424) was possibly a daughter of Helto. Geoffrey and Agnes had a daughter Sybil, who attested her parents’ grant to Colchester (Cart. St John, Colchester, i,142). Since Agnes was not a de Lacy, but Cecilia, daughter and coheiress of Sibil, wife of
Payn fitz John, who was a grand-daughter of Hugh de Lacy (Wightman, The Lacy Family, p.175), was sometimes surnamed Talbot, and Geoffrey II Talbot was described as a cognatus of Gilbert de Lacy, there was clearly a link between the Talbots and the Lacys. In all likelihood, Adeline or Adelisa, wife of Hugh de Lacy (d.a.1115), was the daughter of Geoffrey and Agnes. Cf. Douglas, Domesday Monachorum, 49.

Domesday Book states that Swanscombe was held of the bishop of Bayeux by Helte. Nothing is known of the history of the manor in the years immediately after the forfeiture of Odo's lands in 1088. A statement in the 1166 crta indicates that an estate, which was the honour of Swanscombe, had come possibly to Geoffrey Talbot before 1135 [Ref: Sanders Baronies p144]
