Hugh de Turberville
Hugh de Turberville († 1293 ) was an English knight and military man.
Hugh de Turberville probably came from the Turberville family of Crickhowell in Brecknockshire , where he is mentioned in 1273 as a vassal of Reginald Fitzherbert von Blaenllynfi . From 1271 to 1272 he served as Seneschal of Gascony . As a knight of the royal household, he was one of the commanders of King Edward I's campaign against Wales in 1277 . During the campaign of 1282 for the conquest of Wales , he served as leader of eight lances of the cavalry before becoming a high-ranking Knight Banneret in command of 6,000 foot soldiers from the Welsh Marches . In 1283 he was in command of 1,000 foot soldiers and was promoted to deputy constable . In 1284 he served briefly as commandant of Castell y Bere in Merioneth . During the rebellion of Rhys ap Maredudd , he took part in the siege of Dryslwyn Castle in 1287 , after which he served in 1288 for a few months as Deputy Justiciar of North Wales. Then he was again in command of Castell y Bere, which he remained until his death.
It is believed that Turberville was the father of Thomas de Turberville , who was executed as a spy in 1295. Turberville's daughter Sybil married Sir Grimbold Paunceforte , whose family came into the possession of Crickhowell.
