1. HUGH. He is named as father of Robert in the 1200 document cited below. No source has been found in which he is named on his own account. Domesday Descendants says that Robert Giffard was the son of Gerard Giffard, which appears incorrect assuming that the 1200 document is accurate[826].
a) ROBERT Giffard (-1209). His parentage is confirmed by the order dated 1200 under which "Willelmus Cumin" paid a fine for the marriage of "juniore filia Rob fil Hug" and part of her inheritance in Northamptonshire[827].
