Just based on this, I would suspect that the Gilbert in 1217 is a different
person (uncle?). Otherwise I'm not sure why Gilbert would get land in 1217 as
a younger brother, with the elder not getting anything until 1222. Provided
all the sources still exist. While it's perfectly acceptable that Thomas got
land twice before Gilbert got any.
