Paternal Family Tree: Giffard
Before 18th March 1217 [his father] Hugh Giffard (age 22) and [his mother] Sibyl Cormeilles (age 24) were married.
Around 1225 Archbishop Walter Giffard was born to Hugh Giffard (age 30) and Sibyl Cormeilles (age 32).
Around 1246 [his father] Hugh Giffard (age 51) died at Warminster, Wiltshire [Map].

On 4th January 1265 Archbishop Walter Giffard (age 40) was consecrated as Bishop of Bath and Wells at Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral [Map].
After 10th August 1265 Archbishop Walter Giffard (age 40) was appointed Lord Chancellor.
On 15th October 1266 Archbishop Walter Giffard (age 41) was appointed Archbishop of York.
On 31st October 1266 the Dictum of Kenilworth was issued. The Dictum was a peace agreement between King Henry III of England (age 59) and the rebels who were besieged in the impregnable Kenilworth Castle [Map]. The committee included:
Bishop Walter Branscombe (age 46).
Archbishop Walter Giffard (age 41).
Gilbert de Clare 8th Earl Gloucester 7th Earl Hertford.
Humphrey Bohun 2nd Earl Hereford 1st Earl Essex (age 62).
Philip Basset (age 82).
John Balliol (age 58).
Robert Walerand.
Alan Zouche (age 63).
Roger Somery 2nd Baron Dudley (age 76), and.
Warin Bassingbourne.
Robert Ferrers 6th Earl of Derby (age 27) and Henry Hastings (age 31) were fined seven times their annual income. The Dictum, however, required the rebels to pay their fines before being restored to their lands; something of a Catch-22 since if they weren't restored to their lands, they would have no income to pay the fine.
