Emma DE GAND

  • Born: Abt 1075, Folkingham, Bourne, Lincolnshire, England
  • Married:
  • Died: 1135

  Orthographic variations: DE GANT, DE GAUNT

  Research Notes:

A charter dated to [1190/95] confirmed a donation of property to the canons of Bridlington by “Emma de Gant…et Willelmus de Percy filius eius”. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. However, it is chronologically consistent for her to have been the daughter of Gilbert van Gent. It should be noted that "Alan de Percy…" was the first witness in a charter under which his supposed brother-in-law "Walter de Gaunt" founded Bridlington priory, with the assent of Henry I King of England. 1

  Marriage Information:

Emma married Alan DE PERCY, son of William DE PERCY and Emma DE PORT. (Alan DE PERCY was born in 1069 in Percy-en-Auge, Calvados, Normandy, France and died before Dec 1135.)
