William d'Aubigny (c. 1109 – 12 October 1176[citation needed]), also known as William d'Albini, William de Albini and William de Albini II,[1] was an English nobleman. He was son of William d'Aubigny and Maud Bigod, daughter of Roger Bigod of Norfolk.
William fought loyally for King Stephen of England, who created him first Earl of Arundel (more precisely, Earl of Sussex) (c. 1138[2]) and then Earl of Lincoln. In 1153 he helped arrange the truce between Stephen and Henry Plantagenet, known as the Treaty of Wallingford, which brought an end to The Anarchy. His first known appearance as "earl" was at Christmas 1141.[3] When Henry Plantagenet ascended the throne as Henry II, he confirmed William's earldom and gave him direct possession of Arundel Castle (instead of the possession in right of his wife (died 1151) he had previously had). He remained loyal to the king during the 1173 revolt of Henry the Young King, and helped defeat the rebellion.
William was an important member of Henry I of England's household, and after the king's death he married Henry's widow, QueenAdeliza of Louvain, in 1138. William and Adeliza were parents to the following children:
