I do have a point to discuss. My understanding is that the Belvoir and
Arundel branches of the D'Aubigny family are connected and that
William Brito was a son of William D'Aubigny who married Adeliza De
Bohun, who was a son of William D'Aubigny "Le Botellier" and Albreda
Du Plessis. In my research I have seen a number of very credible
sources who insist that the lines are not connected, but give no proof
of this.

These sources are right - the two families are entirely unrelated,
coming from two different places. William 'Brito' was son of Main
d'Aubigny, of Saint-Aubin-d'Aubigné, Ille et Vilaine.

The Aubigny Pincerna group came from St. Martin d'Aubigny, Manche.

Also note: you suggested that given the long lines of Williams, it
would have been surprising were the first generation not to have a son
William. Remember, though, that at the time of this first generation,
there had yet to be a long line of Williams - they came to use this
name so frequently only after this time.
