General Notes (Husband)
Count de Ghisnes appears to be the earliest known anc e s t o r of Robert de Vere, the Surety. He was succeede d b y h i s s on, Alberic.
The first mention of the De Veres is in the General S u r v e y of England, made by William the Conqueror, where i n t h e na me of Alberic de Vere is stated.
General Notes for Child Alberic Aubrey I De Vere Sr
"The noblest subject in England, and indeed, as Engli s h m e n loved to say, the noblest subject in Europe, wa s Au b r e y de Vere, twentieth and last of the old Earls o f Oxf or d . H e derived his title through an uninterrupte d mal e des ce nt , from a time when the families of Howar d and S eymou r we r e still obscure, when the Nevills an d the Perc ys enj oye d on ly a provincial celebrity, and w hen even th e grea t nam e o f Plantaganet had not yet bee n heard in En gland . One ch ie f of the house of De Vere h ad held the hi gh com mand at H ast ings; another had march ed, with Godfre y and T ancred, ov er h eaps of slaughtere d Moslems, to th e sepulch re of Chris t. Th e first Earl o f Oxford had bee n ministe r of King Henr y Beau clerc. Th e third earl had b een conspi cuous among th e lord s who e xtorted the great c harter fro m King John. Th e sevent h e arl had fought brave ly at Cress y and Poietiers . The thi r teenth earl had, thr ough many vi cissitudes of fo rtune , bee n the chief of th e party of th e Red Rose, and h a d led the v an on the deci sive day of Bo sworth. The sev ente enth earl ha d shone a t the court of Qu een Elizabeth , and h ad won for hi msel f an honorable plac e among th e early mast ers of Engli s h poetry. The nineteen th ear l had fallen in a rms for th e Pr otestant religion, a nd f or the liberties o f Europe , under t he walls of Maestr ic ht. His son, Aubrey , in who m closed th e longest and mo s t illustrious line o f noble s that Englan d has seen , a ma n of loose morals, wa s lord -lieutenant of E ssex a nd colon el of the Blues." To t hes e remarks, Burke i n hi s Vicissit udes of Families, ventu r ed thus to refer:--
"Such is Macaulay's glowing and eloquent eulogiu m o n t h e D e Veres--so eloquent, in deed, that one regre ts t ha t th e pa negyric is somewhat exaggerated, and scar cel y con siste nt wi th recorded fact. The line of the Ear ls o f Oxfo rd wa s certa inly the longest, but as certainl y, no t the m ost il lustriou s that England had seen. In p ersona l achiev ement a nd histor ical importance the De Ve res ca n bear n o comparis on with th e Talbots, the Howard s, th e Nevills , the Percys , or the Scr opes; in antiquit y of d escent, th e Courtenays , the De Bohun s, and the Be auchamp s were in a ll respects t heir equals, an d in sple ndor o f alliances, m any a less dis tinguished famil y fa r surpas sed them. Ther e was scarcely o ne of our gran d o ld house s of the times o f the Henrys an d the Edward s that h ad no t more royal bloo d. Nevertheless , I must f reely admit , a lthough I cannot s ubscribe to th e pre-emi nence Macaul a y assigns, that thi s famous house, i f infe rior to any , wa s only so in the ve ry first, to the m os t historic an d to th e most illustriou s of our ancient n o bility."
Alberic (Aubrey I.)de Vere, Count Aubrey, "Sanglier, " m a r r ied before 1139 Beatrix of Ghisnes, Countess of G his n e s i n her own right, and daughter of Henry, Count o f Gh is ne s, a nd his wife Sibylla Alberic possessed numer ous l ord shi ps i n different shires, of which Cheniston ( now Ke nsin gton ), co . Middlesex, was one, and Hedingham , co. Es sex , wher e his c astle was situated, and where h e chiefl y res ided, a nother.
Alberic assumed the cowl in his later days, and di e d a m o n k in 1088; he was buried in the church of Coln e P riory , w hi ch he founded. He was succeeded by his eld es t son, A lber ic.

General Notes (Husband)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik or Al-Walid I (668 - 715) was an Umayyad caliph who ruled from 705 - 715. He continued the expansion of the Islamic empire that was sparked by his father, and was an effective ruler.
Al Walid I was the eldest son of Abd al-Malik and succeeded him to the caliphate upon his death. Like his father, he continued to allow Al-Hajjaj bin Yousef free rein, and his trust in Al-Hajjaj paid off with the successful conquests of Transoxiana, Sindh, and Spain. Hajjaj was responsible for picking the generals who led these successful campaigns, and was well known from his own successful campaign against Ibn Zubayr during the reign of Al-Walid's father.
Al-Walid himself continued the effective rule that was characteristic of his father, he developed a welfare system, built hospitals, educational institutions and measures for the appreciation of art. Al-Walid himself was a great fan of architecture and he repaired and refurbished Masjid al Nabawi in Medina. In addition, he had the Christian Basilica of St. John the Baptist converted to a great mosque, now known as the Great Mosque of Damascus or simply the Umayyad Mosque (John the Baptist is considered a Prophet of Islam and is known as Yahya). Al-Walid also greatly expanded the military, building a strong navy.
He was also known for his own personal piety and many stories tell of his continual reciting of the Quran and the large feasts he would host for fasters during Ramadan. Al-Walid was succeeded by his brother Suleiman.
