Hugh had married Isabel de Warenne (c. 1228–1282), daughter of William de Warenne, 5th Earl of Surrey and Maud Marshal (1192–1248). They had no children. His widow never remarried but became an important countess who founded the Cistercian Abbey at Marham and "may have been buried in the Convent Church, Marham". From Wiki
"Isabel died shortly before 23 November 1282 and was laid to rest at her own foundation at Marham; her dower properties passed to her husband's great-great nephew, Richard FitzAlan, 8th Earl of Arundel. Having spent almost 40 years as a childless widow, Isabel never remarried, her remarkable life dedicated to the patronage of her convent at Markham and religious writers, such as Paris and Bocking. This incredible woman stands out as the countess who reprimanded and humbled her king for his injustices".++
++Isabel's remarkable story appears in my latest book, Defenders Of the Norman Crown: Rise and Fall of the Warenne Earls of Surrey.
##Also, Opposite Holy Trinity Church is Marham Abbey (NHER 4483). This Cistercian nunnery was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and Saints Barbara and Edmund. It was founded in 1249 by Isabel, widow of Hugh D'Albini. In 1252 it was formally incorporated into Waverley Abbey, the mother house of the Cistercian order in England. The small abbey housed between ten and fifteen nuns. It was one of only two Cistercian abbeys founded for nuns in England. To the southwest of the abbey is an unusual square earthwork (NHER 13644 and 11462). This has been identified as a 'castle'. This may be the castle recorded as being constructed illegally by William Belet. If so it was hardly a castle, actually more of a defended moated manor. The site of another moated medieval manor, Shouldham Hall (NHER 44631), is now in the ground of Marham Hall.
