Dear Newsgroup:
The authoritative Complete Peerage, 5 (1926): 692-693 (sub Gloucester)
has a good account of the life history of Amaury of Evreux (died before
November 1213), Count of Evreux in Normany and Earl of Gloucester in
England. Regarding his marriage, the following information is
provided:
"He married in or before 1203 Milicent, daughter of Hugh de Gurnay
[Gornai]. He died without issue before November 1213. His widow
married before July 1215 or 1216 William de Cauntelo the younger. In
1217 he and Milicent his wife 'formerly wife of Aumarie, Count of
Evreux,' had dower in Petersfield in Mapledurham." END OF QUOTE.
No mention is made of his wife, Milicent de Gournay's maritagium by
Complete Peerage, but it was situated at Sotteville in Normandy, as
indicated by the following grant made in 1206 by King Philippe Auguste
of France to Jean de Montgomery following the loss of Normandy:
Notum, &c. quod nos dilecto & fideli nostro Johanni de Monte Gumberti,
& heredi ejus de uxore sua desponsata damus & concedimus in perpetuum
terram de Sottevilla, quam Hugo de Gornaio dedit in maritagium filiæ
suæ comitissæ Ebroicensi, & decem libratas terræ, quas Galterus de
Donestonvillis habebat apud Sottevillam: ita quod idem Johannis & heres
ejus de uxore sua desponsata hæc supradicta ad usus & consuetudines
Normanniæ teneat de nobis et heredibus nostris in feodum & hominagium
ligium per servitium unius militis ad sumtus suos. De his autem
singulis annis reddent B. Mariæ de Becco decem libras Turonenses
eleemosyna sicut ei reddi consueverurit. Volumus etiam & concedimus,
ut quicquid ibi per jus acquisierit idem Johannes vel heres ejus in
augmentum feodi sui, illud teneant per prædictum servitium unius
militis. Actum apud Rodolium anno Domini MCCVI." [Reference: Martene
& Durand, Veterum scriptorum et monumentorum, 1 (1724): 1068].
As for other records of Milicent de Gournay's dower, I find that in
1217 Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, granted her the manors of
Marlow, Buckinghamshire and Burford, Oxfordshire, together with the
life grant of the vill of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire [Reference: Anita
Travers, Calendar of the Feet of Fines for Buckinghamshire 1259-1307
(Buckinghamshire Rec. Soc. 25) (1989): 106]. Complete Peerage makes no
mention of Milicent's death, but she predeceased her husband Sir
William de Cantelowe who died in 1251.
Complete Peerage gives very limited information regarding Countess
Milicent de Gournay's parentage. Research indicates that Milicent was
the daughter of Hugh (or Hugues) de Gournay (died 1214), seigneur of
Gournay-en-Brie, and lord of Wendover, Buckinghamshire, Houghton,
Bedfordshire, Caister and Cantley, Norfolk, Mapledurham, Oxfordshire,
etc, by his wife, Juliane, daughter of Aubrey II, Count of Dammartin.
For further particulars on Countess Milicent de Gournay's parents,
please see Daniel Gurney, Record of the House of Gournay (1848);

208-209, 244-245; 3 (1962): 13-16. Through her mother, Juliane de
Dammartin, Milicent de Gournay was near kin to Queen Eleanor of
Castile, wife of King Edward I of England.
For interest's sake, the following is a list of the enormous number of
17th Century New World colonists that descent from Countess Milicent de
Gournay and her 2nd husband, Sir William de Cantelowe, Steward of the
King's Household:
