No such peron as Hostilo De Angulo, this was made up in the 1500’s by Carew and Cotton to distance the Nagles from the Costelloes. implying different patriarchs. No evidence of that name in any records from that time, including King Johns legal docs, Calender of docs of Ireland, or any of the Annals written prior to 1400.
Gilbert de Angulo, son of Gausslyn (Jocelyn) became with his brothers Jordan, William, Walter ,Phillip and Richard the MacOistelbh, Sons of Jocelyn in Irish Gaelic, a patrynomic name, renedered further in Irish Gaelic as MacGoisdealbh. Then MacGoisdealbhaig, Then MacCostelloe in English.
De Angulo was latin for Of Angle, a topynomic name, the town in Pembrokeshire Wales that they hailed from and where the Invasion of Ireland 1169 by Gilbert de Clare, AKA Strongbow, embarked from.
All the lazy pedigree writers after Carew just copied his work, i have researched this for 35 years,
