• Notes

  Philip de Gai (or Gay) is the son of Stephen de Gai and probably an unn a m e d f i rst wife. Stephen is mentioned as his father in an undated char t e r i n w h ich Philip confirms a grant by his father of the chapel of Nor t h b r o ok and all the tithes to the church of St Mary of Kirklington. Philip is first mentioned in the chronicle of John of Worcester (former l y k n o w n as the work of Florence of Worcester) in 1138 in conjunction w i t h t h e s iege of Bristol castle, by King Stephen. This names Philip as a r e l a t i on (cognatum) of Robert, Earl of Gloucester, the eldest illegitima t e s o n o f H enry I, King of England.
