Jocelyn de Angulo

Jocelyn de Angulo, 1st Baron of Navan (fl. 1172), was an Anglo-Norman knight.

Biography De Angulo was one of fifty knights serving under Hugh de Lacy upon the latter's grant of the Lordship of Meath by King Henry II of England in 1172. Jocelyn was awarded the title Baron of Navan by de Lacy. He had sons Gilbert, Philip and William, all of whom would be outlawed for rebellion due to unclear governance in 1195 before being pardoned in 1206. He built a fort at Navan, the origin of the town, of which he can be called the founder.

Jocelyn is believed to have derived his surname from his homeplace of Angle, Pembrokeshire.

However, in 1206 King John of England pardoned them, Philip being allowed to inherit his father's estates at Navan. From his brother, William de Angulo, descend the Connacht families of Waldron, and others. He is considered an ancestor of Nano Nagle.

William was associated with the rebellion of his brothers Gilbert and Philip in 1195, and likewise pardoned in 1206.
