  • Notes 
    • Hugh fought on the side of Thomas, 2nd earl of Lancaster, at the Battle of Boroughbridge (16 Mar 1322), where he was taken prisoner and his lands forfeited. He was transferred from Berkampstead prison to Nottingham Castle in 1325, from whence he later escaped. His lands were restored in 1327 and he was made Sheriff of Rutland (1327-47), then appointed Guardian of the Coast of Essex (May 1336). He became 8th Earl of Gloucester in 1337. Hugh took part in the Siege of Dunbar, which continued until 1338 when a truce was made as the besiegers wished to accompany King Edward III on his expedition to France. Hugh was also present at the Battle of Sluys on 24 Jun 1340." (Ref: Maurice Boddy)
