An unruly English noble family that has been embroiled in intrigue and opposition to the crown for decades [as of 1190]. Hugh Bigod initially joined the rebellion against King Stephen but later made peace with him and was made Earl of Norfolk. In 1173 he rebelled against Henry II, supporting Henry the Young King (qv), forfeitting many of his lands, including Bungay and Framlingham castles (qv) when the rebellion collapsed. The [1190] head of the family is Roger Bigod." (Source: King, p. 36).
