Nigel D'Oyly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nigel D'Oyly was an 11th-12th century nobleman of England and, in 1120, the Lord of Oxford Castle, and briefly the Lord of Wallingford Castle.

He was son of Walter D'Oyly and younger brother of Robert D'Oyly, follower of William the Conqueror and founder of Oxford Castle.

At some point between 1086 and 1094 Nigel was granted possession of two mills on the west side of Grandpont by Abbot Columbanus of Oxford, however by 1109 the mills were recorded as having been reconfirmed to the abbey.[1]

In 1120, King Henry I of England gave Edith Forne, his concubine, as a marriage portion, the Manor of Cleydon, Buckinghamshire: and caused her to marry his second son, Robert D'Oyly.[1]
