Biography
A son of Jocelyn de Angulo, 1st Baron of Navan, Gilbert held the barony of Machaire Gaileng (Morgallion and Ratoath). Upon his rebellion in 1195, all his lands were forfeited - given by Walter de Lacy to his brother, Hugh, about 1198 - and Gilbert and his brothers Phillip and William outlawed.
Gilbert fled English jurisdiction and sought service with King Cathal Crobhdearg Ua Conchobair of Connacht. In return, Cathal granted him lands at Máenmaige, in western Uí Maine. Upon his pardon in 1206, King John of England confirmed him in lands granted by King Cathal and made him a grant of other lands. Brought back into John's favour, he assisted Cathal in the construction of Caeluisce, near Ballyshannon, in 1212. It was attacked and burned the following year, and Gilbert was killed during the attack.

Gilbert also appears to have held land in Uí Lomain and Cineal Fheicin/Muntir Mailfinnain. However, as all his lands were held by new owners subsequent to Richard Mor de Burgh's settlement of Connacht in the 1230s, it appears his family had by then died out in the male line.

Some of Gilbert's descendants altered the names from D'Angulo to Nangle, and the branch of the family which settled near Mallow, County Cork, further changed the name to Nagle. The surname "Costello" is derived from Gilbert's second son, Hostilo. As such, descendants of Costello became "MacCostello".
This is not a true statement and has no source listed. There was np son named Hostilo at all., the records i have posted should settle that and this should be removed. Gilberts sons were Richard, Phillip and Walter, and possibly Jordan. Diannaa has accused me of plagiarism today, when you can see i attribute everything i post to their sources, thats the whole point of wiki corrections is it not. Wiki actually has too many opinions and not enough factual statements backed up by legal docs or original records.
There was no Hostilo, this was made up from the 1650"s onwards, please remove this.

Select document: A settlement between the canons of St Thomas's Abbey, Dublin, and Walter de Lacy concerning the church of Ardmulchan granted to the canons by Theobald Walter Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2020 footnote 27 Confirmamus eciam eis ecclesiam de Archmulchane iuxta Boin cum capellis, decimis, obvencionibus et omnibus ecclesiasticis beneficiis ad dictam ecclesiam spectantibus qua habent de dono Theobaldo Walteri: Reg. St Thomas, Dublin, pp 6–7 (not recorded on the charter rolls; the text occurs in a section of the cartulary relating to holdings in the diocese of Meath). Confirmed to St Thomas's in the same charter was the church of St John, Nobber, and the church of St Patrick, Morgallion, of the gift of Gilbert de Angulo and Hugh de Lacy. The date is significant since it was issued nine days after Walter de Lacy recovered his lordship of Meath on 5 July 1215: Rot. litt. pat., p. 148b; Cal. doc. Ire., 1171–1251, no. 612. The terms of settlement between Walter de Lacy and the king for the recovery of Meath had been agreed on 29 June whereby Walter was to pay a fine of 4000 marks: Rot. litt. pat., p. 181; Cal. doc Ire., 1171–1251, no. 596; Rot. oblatis, 562–4, 601–03. The feast of SS Peter and Paul (29 June) was subsequently considered as the date of the settlement: Rot. litt. claus., 1204–24, p. 224a.
Gilbert was alive in 1215 according to this legal document, that is why the annals cannot be trusted due to manipulation in the 1600 when it was important to distance families from Rebel families who were still Catholic, as the macCostelloes were in the 1600's and on. They never changed their faith and lost all of their land because of it. ≈≈≈≈

The Song of Dermot and the Earl (composed early 13th century) mentions the de Angulo family, and casts doubt upon Gilbert's paternity. This is probably intended to insult Gilbert as a traitor to the King.
