Good day. Does anyone have any evidence of there once being an Earl of Suffolk named Gilbert de Glanville? I find his name in a lot of family trees but the only thing I can find to indicate he was ever an Earl of Suffolk is in Records of the Anglo-
Norman House of Glanville by William Urmston Searle Glanville-Richards, where he is identified as the "3rd Earl of Suffolk" on page 46. He supposedly lost all his lands and titles after siding with Simon de Montfort against Henry III.
I was told by one researcher that the Glanville-Richards work is unsubstantiated and false. Initially, I did not know how to take that but after finding that I cannot discover a source anywhere else that indicates Gilbert de Glanville, or any other
Glanville for that matter, was ever an Earl of Suffolk.
Does anyone know of anything more? Thanks in advance for reading.
Apparently a figure made entirely out of whole cloth

After the famous, partly fictional book by Glanville-Richards, we have the following article which is much more skeptical
