Aubrey de Vere
Aubrey de Vere II (1062-1141) was also known as "Alberic de Vere". He was the second of that name, being the first son of Alberic de Vere who had come with William the Conqueror to England in 1066 and had fought in the Battle of Hastings. Their lineage is of an ancient Norman noble family of Vere , originally from the eponymous town of Ver-sur-Mer, and are said to descend from Charlemagne's sister Redburga(?).
In 1133, King Henry I declared the first Lord Great Chamberlain Robert Malet's estates and titles forfeit, and awarded the office of Lord Great Chamberlain to Aubrey, whose son Aubrey de Vere III , was created Earl of Oxford, and whose descendents were to hold the title until 1526.
