Biography

De Angulo was one of fifty knights serving under Hugh de Lacy upon the latter's grant of Meath by Henry II in 1172. Jocelyn was awarded the barony of Navan by de Lacy. He had sons Gilbert, Philip and William, all of whom would be outlawed for rebellion in 1195.

Jocelyn is believed to have derived his surname from his homeplace of Angle, Pembrokeshire.

Descendants of William de Angulo became known as Mac Goisdelbh (Mac Jocelyn) or Costello:[1][2] these surnames are commonly to be found in Connaught.

Philip de Angulo

Philip was an Anglo-Irish knight, fl. 1195-1206, son of Jocelyn de Angulo of Meath, Philip and his two brothers, Gilbert and William, were outlawed for rebellion in 1195 and had their lands confiscated. However, in 1206 King John of England pardoned them, Philip being allowed to inherit his father's estates at Navan. From his brother, William de Angulo, descend the Connacht families of Costello, Waldron, and others. He is considered an ancestor of Nano Nagle.

He is the ancestor of the Costello/Mac Goisdelbach, Mac Jordan Duff, Mac Phillip, de Bhaldraithe/Mac Bhaldrin/Waldron clans of County Mayo.
