While he was bishop, Gilbert spent lavishly on expanding his cathedral and on gifts to King Edward I of England. It was Gilbert that baptised Edward's youngest son Edmund in 1301 at Woodstock.[1] He died on 12 February 1305[4] at Amberley. He was buried in the lady chapel of Chichester Cathedral, where his tomb was destroyed in 1538.[1]
