In 1141, during the struggle between the Empress Maud and Stephen I forthe throne the former conferred the Earldom of Hereford on Miles ofGloucester, so-called from his father being hereditary Constable of theshire. Only two years earlier the new Earl had supported Stephen, but ithas been suggested that he went over to the Empress's in part because hisoverlord, the Earl of Gloucester, was one of Henry I's many bastard sons,hence Maud's half brother. (Her generous gifts to Miles of land, houses,and castles, in addition to the Earldom, may have helped win him over.)[Burke's Peerage]

----------------------

William II "Rufus" King of England granted the lordship of "Over Gwent"which included a castle at the mouth of the Genny where it joins the Usk,probably some time after 1088 to one Hamelin de Ballon, so called fromhis having been born at Ballon, in Maine. Subsequent holders of OverGwent or Abergavenny included the 1st and 2nd Earls of Hereford of the1141 creation and the 2nd Earl's four younger brothers, for all of whom ashadowy family connection with Hamelin de Ballon has been claimed, thoughthis is very hard, if not impossible, to sustain. [Burke's Peerage (page12) on the history of Abergavenny:]
