4th Baron. Gilbert de LACY died after 1163. "GILBERT (ob. post 1163) = ?"

--- W E Wightman, *The Lacy Family in England and Normandy,1066-1194*,
genealogical chart following p 260.

****************************
Gilbert, upon succeeding his uncle, assumed the surname of Laci. This feudal lord, in the conflict between Stephen and the Empress, espoused the cause of the latter. He eventually became a knight Templar, and was s. by (whether son or brother not known) Hugh de Laci. [Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd, London, 1883, p. 310, Lacy, Earls of Lincoln]

_______________________

Gilbert de Lacy (fl 1150), fourth baron Lacy, was son of Emma, daughter of Walter de Lacy, first baron. His father's name is not known. After the death of his uncle, Hugh de Lacy, the family estates were taken into the royal hands, but Gilbert assumed the name of Lacy. In the reign of Stephen he at first supported the Empress Matilda, in whose behalf he attempted to capture Bath in 1138. but by 1146 he had gone over to the king, perhamps because the empress kept Joce de Dinan in possession of Ludlow Castle. So far as there is any truth in the early part of the 'Romance of Fulk Fitzwarine,' Gilbert, and not his grandson Walter, must be the hero. That Joce and Gilbert were opponents is an historical fact. Gilbert appears to have obtained the favour of Henry II, and recovered his uncle's lands; in 1158 he was excused the 'donim' to the king. A little later he joined the knights of the Temple, and went to the Holy Land. There he became preceptor of his order in the county of Tripoli, in which capacity he engaged in Geoffrey of Angouleme's successful expedition against Noureddin in 1163. He gave the templars twelve hides of land; and one virgate in Guttinges, and also five burgages in Winchcombe. He is described as a prudent man and skilful soldier.
