Notes 

• ~Burke's A General and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerages of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Extinct, Dormand and Abeyance, pg. 532, have another generation between Ranulph de Vaux and Hurbert de Vaux. It states that Robert de Vaux, son of Hurbert de Vaux, was the founder of Pentney Abbey, and he was married to Ada, daughter of William Engaine, and they had two sone, Robert, who died without issue and Ranulph de Vaux, father of Hubert de Vaux, and grandfather of Maud de Vaux, who married Thomas de Multon. 
• Hubert de Vaux, the grandson of the founder of Pentney Priory, Robert Vaux, and son of the second Robert Vaux, received from Henry II, a grant of the barony of Gilsland, one of the three great fiefs into which Ranulph de Meschines had divided the frontier district of Cumberland. Hubert earned his share of the reconquered territory by helping to drive out the Scots. Hubert died in 1164, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Robert. Robert died without issue and his brother Ralph succeeded him. The line terminated with Ralph's grandson, Hubert II, whose daughter Maud, Landy of Gilsland, carried the barony to the Multons; and her great-great-grand-daughter Margaret again transferred it to the Dacres. ~The Battle Abbey Roll, Vol. I, pg. 295-296
