Gilbert de Turberville (nobleman, † before 1281)

Gilbert de Turberville (also Turbeville or Gilbert III de Turberville ) († between 1262 and 1281) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman.

Gilbert de Turberville came from the Turberville family who had been vassals of the Lords of Glamorgan in South East Wales since the early 12th century . He was a son of Gilbert II de Turberville , who apparently was married twice. It is not clear which woman was the mother of Gilbert III. After his father's death around 1238, Turberville inherited Coity Castle and other estates in Glamorgan and on Gower . In July 1242 a conflict broke out between Turberville and Hywel ap Maredudd , lord of the Welsh rule Meisgyn , which, to the displeasure of Turberville , was peacefully settled by his liege lord Richard de Clare , the Lord of Glamorgan, at the end of the month . De Clare later confirmed Turberville's possession of Newcastle , which his father had already owned.

Between 1238 and 1246, Turberville and Nicholas Fitz Martin exchanged the South Molton estate in Devon, which the Turberville family had owned since the mid-12th century as a fiefdom of the Earls of Gloucester, for the estate of Treguz in Glamorgan. In 1262 it was still owned by Coity and Newcastle.

His heir became his son Richard I de Turberville .
