The "Dictionary of National Biography" :
--"justiciar, was son and heir of ROBERT DE TODENI, lord of Belvoir, and is supposed to have been named de Aubigny (Albini) from his place of birth, and to have been distinguished by the addition 'Brito' from his namesake, the 'PINCERNA', who belonged to a different family.
--He assisted in the victory of Tenchebray in 1106, and became high in favor with KING HENRY I. In 1130 (not, as Dugdale states, under STEPHEN) he appears as an itinerant justice, and on HENRY's death he espoused the cause of his daughter.
--KING STEPHEN forfeited his lands, but subsequently restored them, and he lived to see the accession of HENRY II.
William married Cicely le Bigod, daughter of Roger le Bigod Earl of East Anglia, "the Sheriff" and Alice de Toeni of Belvoir. (Cicely le Bigod was born before 1107 in Belvoir Castle, Belvoir, Leicestershire, England.)
