Gilbert de Turberville (nobleman, † around 1238)
Gilbert de Turberville (also Gilbert II de Turberville ) († around 1238) 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 Payn de Turberville , from whom he inherited Coity Castle and other estates in Glamorgan no later than 1208 .
Apparently Turberville supported the aristocratic opposition to King John Ohneland during the First Barons' War . In 1217 the Regency Council, which was responsible for the new underage King Heinrich III. ruled back his possessions. Around the same time he acquired Newcastle , which had previously been owned by Morgan Gam , the Welsh lord of Afan , a semi-autonomous rule in the Glamorgan hills.
Turberville was married at least twice. In his first marriage he had married an Agnes around 1210. After 1219 he married Mathilda (also Agnes ), a daughter of Morgan Gam. She brought Llandimore and other land on the Gower Peninsula as a dowry into the marriage. His heir became his son Gilbert III de Turberville .
