His father was Roger d'Aubigny and his mother Alicia, sister of Geoffrey de Montbray ; William d'Aubigny was his brother.
He married Matilda of Laigle, daughter of Richer of Laigle , who had previously been married to the disgraced Robert de Mowbray and then divorced him.

Nigel was buried in the priory of Bec, of which he is said to have become a monk before his death (Cont. of William of Jumièges, ed.
