Hugh Gournay, son of Hugh Gournay, Senior and his wife Millicent de Marla, of the house of Coucy, was wife Richard Coeur de Lion in Palestine; and in the division of the spoil at the taking of Acre was the commissioner in behalf of the English king. He vacillated between King John and Philip Augustus, so that his estates, both in Normandy and England became forfeited. Hugh had large portions of his English territory restored to him.

Hugh married Julia, sister of Renaud de Dampmartin, Earl of Boulogne, and died in 1214. His eldest son, Gerard, died soon after; Hugh, the other son, survived him, and this Hugh and his wife Maud left issue of an only daughter named Julie who carried the English inheritance of these Barons of Gournay to William Lord Bardolf, of Wormegay in Norfolk, and his descentents. Hugh de Gournay and Julia de Dampmartin also had a daughter named Millicent who married as her first husband, Almeric, comté d'Evreux and Gloucester; and, as her second husband, William de Cantelupe.
