William D'Aubigny was 3rd Earl of Arundel and Sussex. He was a favorite of King John and is stated to have "consistantly taken the winnng side", first being with the King at Runneymede 15 Jun 1215, then abandoning him in favor of Louis VIII of France when King John abandoned Winchester the following June, then returning to King John's allegiance after the Royalist victory at Lincoln in July 1217. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed Justice, the young King Henry III having restored to him his forfeited possessions. He embarked on the Crusade of 1218, and was present at the taking of Danietta in Nov 1219, but died 1 Feb 1220/1 in Cainell, near Rome. His sons, William and Hugh, successively Earls of Arundell and Sussex, both died without heirs, and upon the death of the younger son, Hugh, his four sisters were found to be his coheirs. The earldom of Sussex reverted to the Crown.1
