Hubert de Burgh was born of unknown parents of Burgh-next-Aylsham, Norfolk.[1] A case has been made for Hubert's father being Walter de Burgh,[2] and his mother was named Alice.[1] The family were minor landholders in Norfolk and Suffolk, from whom Hubert inherited at least four manors.[1] His elder brother was William de Burgh (d. 1206), founder of the de Burgh/Burke/Bourke dynasty in Ireland,[1][3] and his younger brothers were Geoffrey (Archdeacon of Norwich and later Bishop of Ely), and Thomas (castellan of Norwich).[1]

Some 17th, 18 and 19th Century genealogists created a completely fictitious family tree for William and Hubert de Burgh, linking in William Fitz Aldelm, Robert of Mortain, Charlemagne et al. The whole theory was demolished by JH Round in "Feudal England" (1909), and there is a further discussion in Clarence Ellis's "Hubert de Burgh A Study in Constancy" (1952). All academic papers on the de Burgh family of Norfolk accept that the family was so minor that we can't even be confident as to who the father of William and Hubert de Burgh was.
