    Notes:

    Hugh le Bigod, born around 1182 and dying in 1225, was a member of the powerful early Norman Bigod family and played a crucial role in the events surrounding the Magna Carta. He was the eldest son of Roger Bigod, 2nd Earl of Norfolk, and Ida de Tosny.

    Hugh's life was marked by his involvement in the baronial opposition against King John of England. In 1215, he was one of the twenty-five sureties of the Magna Carta, a document that sought to limit the powers of the king and establish certain legal protections. His role in this pivotal moment in history highlights his status and influence in the political landscape of the time.

    Hugh married Maud Marshal, daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and Isabel de Clare, around 1206 or 1207. This union brought him closer to one of the most powerful families in England. Together, they had several children, including Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk, and Hugh Bigod, Justiciar of England.

    Hugh succeeded to his father's estates, including Framlingham Castle, in 1221. He also inherited the positions of Steward of the royal household and warden of Romford Forest, Essex. His tenure as the 3rd Earl of Norfolk was marked by his continued involvement in the political affairs of the realm.

    In the years 1221 to 1225, Hugh made various grants and took part in a campaign against Llewelyn of Wales in 1223. On 11 February 1224-5, he witnessed the confirmation of the Magna Carta. Hugh died shortly after, on 18 February 1225. His wife, Maud, survived him and later remarried William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey.

    Hugh Bigod's life illustrates the complex interplay of power, loyalty, and rebellion in medieval England. His involvement in key historical events like the Magna Carta and his role as a surety baron reflect his significant role in the struggle for rights and governance during this period.
