• Name	FLEMING Gerbod
  Birth	1036	Flanders, France
  Gender	Male
  Death	1071	Chester, Cheshire, England
  Notes	Gerbod was possibly the hereditary advocate (advocatus, vogt, avoué) at the abbey of Saint-Bertin in St Omer in Flanders (now within France). Alternatively he was at least a relative of this family, who often used this name.[1] Complete Peerage says he was made Earl of Chester in 1070, but... He returned, shortly afterwards, to his native country, where he was taken prisoner at the battle of Cassel [in Flanders], 1071, and kept captive for a long period, never coming back to England.
