I 1136 bhí Gilbert fitz Gilbert i gceannas ar  shluaíocht i gcoinne Exmes agus rinne sé codanna den bhaile a dhó, lena n-áirítear eaglais Notre Dame, ach chuir fórsaí Guillaume III, Cunta Ponthieu isteach air, agus d’éalaigh sé as an gclampar  a tháinig as, ach amháin tar éis dó caillteanais mhóra a fhulaingt.George Edward Cokayne, The Complete Peerage; or, A History of the House of Lords and All its Members from the Earliest Times, Vol. X, Eds. H. A. Doubleday, Geoffrey H. White, & Howard de Walden (London: The St. Catherine Press, Ltd., 1945), p. 348, & footnote (a) Ba Barún é Gilbert, is é sin, príomh-vasáilleach i Sasana, agus fuair sé eastáit a uncailí aithreacha, Roger agus Walter, a chuimsigh barúntachtaí agus caisleáin Bienfaite agus Orbec sa Normainn. Bhí tiarnas Nether Gwent agus caisleán Striguil (Cas-gwent ina dhiaidh sin) aige. Chruthaigh an Rí Stiofán Shasana é ina Iarla Penfro, agus thug sé rape agus caisleán Pevensey dó.

Tar éis do Stiofán a bheith cloíte ag Lincoln an 2 Feabhra 1141, bhí Gilbert ina measc siúd a chuaigh i gcion ar an mBanimpire Empress Matilda nuair a ghnóthaigh sí Londain i mí an Mheithimh, ach bhí sé ag Canterbury nuair a atoghadh Stiofán  go déanach i 1141. Ansin chuaigh sé le Geoffrey i mbun comhcheilge i bplota i gcoinne Stiofáin, ach nuair a thit an chomhcheilg as a chéile, chloígh sé arís le Stiofáin, agus é in éineacht leis ag léigear Oxford go déanach i 1142.J. H. Round, Geoffrey de Mandeville (Longmans, Green, 1892), p. 158 Sa bhliain 1147 d’éirigh sé amach nuair a dhiúltaigh Stiofáin na caisleáin a ghéill a nia Gilbert, 1ú Iarla Hertford,  a thabhairt dó, agus ar sin mháirseáil an Rí go dtí an caisleán is gaire dó agus bhí sé beagnach gafa aige. Mar sin féin, is cosúil go ndearna an t-Iarla a shíocháin le Stiofáin roimh a bháis an bhliain dár gcionn.Paul Dalton, Graeme J. White.
