Hugh is possibly Gilbert's brother rather than son.

"Much more is known of the actions of Hugh II than of any previous member of
the family. He paid no scutage in 1164-5, so that he was probably present in
person on the campaign of 1165 from Shrewsbury into North Wales. He was in
Ireland with the king from October 1171, and remained there after the king
returned in April 1172. He was back in England by 29 December 1172, when he distinguished himself at the first public festival of St. Thomas at Canterbury. The archbishop was carried away by the occasion and expressed himself rather too strongly, only to be rebuked firmly by Hugh II. In the summer of 1173 he was in Normandy helping to quell the rising, and with Hugh de Beauchamp held the castle of Verneuil while it was being besieged by
Louis VII in July. He spent some time during the year in Ireland, where he
had acquired the old kingsom of Meath, so that from now onwards he spent a
good deal of time on the west side of St. George's Channel. In the same
year he had been given the city of Dublin and its castle, a grant followed
five years later by his promotion to Viceroy. That post he held until 1184,
although he had been deprived of Dublin castle for a short period in 1181-2
as a penalty for marrying the daughter of Rory O'Connor, the last king of
Connaught. At Durrow in July 1186 he had his head cut off by an Irishman
while he was showing him how to use a pick, according to the graphic
desctiprion in the chronicle of St. Mary, Dublin -- a commentary on his
restless nature, apparently intolerant of inefficiency to the end."

Died:
Decapitated by an Irishman while he was showing him how to use a pick.

In "Ancestral Roots" I find that Maud de St. Valerie, wife of William de Braiose (177-6), was killed by King John by being walled up with her young son William in her castle in 1210. Does anyone know the story behind her death?

Essentially, in about 1206-7 John, for reasons unknown, started to persecute William de Briouze and others. Over the next several years things went from bad to worse. In 1208, John demanded hostages from William and Matilda (Maud) apparently said that she wouldn't deliver up her sons to John as he had murdered his nephew Arthur. After this things got really bad and William and his family were forced to flee to Ulster (William was Lord of Limerick). In spring 1210 John prepared an expedition to Ireland and Matilda fled with her sons to Scotland (William was in Wales at this time). Matilda and the children were captured by a Scots lord and handed over to John. Matilda and the eldest son (William IV) were imprisoned, and were never seen again. The common report, recorded in several monastic annals, was that they had been starved to death.

For a fuller version of this I would suggest you read :
King John by W.L. Warren, Eyre Methuen, 1978
The Feudal Kingdom of England 1042-1216 by Frank Barlow, Longman, 1985

(Medical):Went insane during period of imprisonment that ended in her starvation & death.

Starved to death by KIng John.
