PEECY VISCOUNT STllAXGFOPcD
PREFACE
It is the aim or the following pages to appl}- genealogy to
the illustration of English ethnolog}'. The former branch
of knowledge lias been supj»oscJ to lie exclusively Avith.in
the doniaia of the antiquary; but a closer examination
will, it is thought, show that the scientific observer, and
the historian also, may find in it cla-ses of focts which
are not beneoth their notice and investigation.
If by placir.g genealogy on a critical and historical
basis, and applying it, to ethnology, we should be enabled
to prove the fallacy of some generally received maxims
as to the ccjnpo^ition of the English nation — to sliov/
that the Norman settlement at the Conquest consisted of
something more than a sli^iht iiifusion of a foreioai
element — tiiat it involved the addition of a numerous and
mighty peojde, equalling probably a moiety of the con-
quered population — that tlie people thus introduced lias
continued to exi.-t without mei"ger or c^bsorption in any
Vlll PKEFACE. ...
Oilier race — tluit, as a race, it is asclistinguishablc iiovr as
^ it was a llioii^aiid years since, and tiiat at this Jioiir its
descendants n^ay be counted by tens of millions in tliis
_ country and in tlie I'nited States of America; if tiiis be
so, then it will be admitted tliat Engli>li etlinology is
not iminterested in the proLn-ess of critical Eno-livl.
genealogy—tliat it may fmd tliere a hitljerto nc-o-lected
series of facts, of incalcidable value to English airJ even
to foreign etlmology.
If, 'in addition to tlii';, it be ^possible to show on
historical groinids, that the earlier Xoi'lhman or Dauisli
ijninigi-ation had seated in England a people scarcely
inferior in immber to the Anglo-Saxons ; and, in tlie
absence of all evidence to the contrary-, to infer by a
process of analogical reasoning from the case of the
Normans, that this Danish race also has continued to
exist up to the present momenJ, increasing in hke I'atio
with them and the Anglo-Saxons; and that it .-onsc-
quently now rivals each of them in point of nuiubcrs ; if
this be so, history, which at present usually contemplates
ancient events in England exclusively from tJie Anglo-
Saxon point of view, and under the influence of xVnglo-
• Saxon feeling, will acquire greater breadih and impar-
tiality, and will extend to the Scandiijavian ancestors of a
majority of the English and Americari people that equit-
i>];eface. ... .- IX
able jiKlgmeut and that filial interest wliich are now'
reserved for the Anglo-Saxon ancestors of a niinorily.
Such are some of the results ^vhich may be aiiticijvjited
from tlie application of liistorical genealogy to ethnology,
in \vhicli this vrork is a first essay.
The genealogy of the Xorniaii race leads np to its
conricxion \villi tlie Danish and the Anglo-Saxon, v.'hich,
with it, form tlie three ^reat" constituents of the Eno-iish
nation. To trace that connexion it has been found
necessary to enter on the relationship between the
Gothic aud Teutonic races, which, as far as the author
is aware, has no:: as yet been treated systematically by
English writers. It is hoped, hovrever, that tlie vievrs '.
here enunciated will be found to harmonise generally
with those entertained by the most enlightened en-
quirers. . ■ ■ .. • .. - ._
The later Scandinavian or Xorma!i immigration into "■
England has formed the subject of the following pages;
the earlier Scandinavian or Danish lias been very slightly \
noticed m connexion v\-ith ii. The extent and difficulty
of the latter subject have induced the author to reserve
its further consideration for anotlicr work.

II. ON llli: FXTKNT OF THF DANISH POMINION IN 870.
In r'.ftrcnc*; to the remarks on this subject (paze 102), it may be ?aid
that nu extent has be.-n tht-re a-s^siirned to the Danish dominion nft»*r tho
treaty between Alfred and Outhrura in S78, which is at variance with re-
ceived opinions; and Mr. Freeman's and Mr. Pear.-on's statements may be
cittd. Th.-se emln'-iit writer? have, undoubtedly, taken a ditierent view of
the cn-.e. The former states (Norman Conque=t, i. -ISi, that 'by the terms
of the peace of Wedinore the Northmen were to evacuate \Ves.<ex and the
p;irt of Merci.i south of Watlir.g Street; they, or at iea«t thru- chiefs, were
to submit to baptism, and they were to receive the whole land beyond Wal-
ling' Street as xa^-als of the West .Saxon king. Guthrum, the D:.iii.-h kin-,

by ' this R^cejuciit the whole of Mercia Ar.u rostorod to its former dL-pendeut
coudition to AVesiox.'
The author veattms to think that these able v.-rit^rs hfive not, in this
case, oxhibittd their usu.il criticid discrimination. He is unable to diviae
their rea.M.u for termiug the treaty of S78 tho 'peace' or 'trtixty ' of ' Wed-

date to g'lorify Kin? Alfred, ar.d ouirht not to bf> acceptvd merely ou the
outht.rity of the lat-r chrouickr-'.
Again, thp iiu:?'or cannot but woudcr that th-^ treaty of S7S b?tweo3
Guthruia and Alfred should K- confuted by the-e writers with that between
Guthruni and Alfred which is still extant. A very slight txamination would
have shown thtt the two treritie? are wholly ditferent. We learu from
Asser, the c-'iiteiui>orary and friend of King Alfred, that the trerty of
Chipp 'nham in ?r"5 comprised, after the agre«.'!nent for peace, two articles—
the sjHredy eva:'i.iti..-n of Alfred's dominions by the l»ane*, and an ui:d-r-
Inkifg by Cutluam to become Curistim, and to receive bapti^ra uuder
Alfred's sponsorship, 'Juravcrunt se citis^^ime dc sue regno exituro?,
nee non ot Godrum rex corum Chrislianitatem subire, et baptismum sub
mauu .r.lfredi regis acciperc pro:ui-it ' (A.-ser, de reb. gtstii .Klfrtdi Ann.
878). Tho Sasou Chroniele al^o states that by the tnaty the Danes under-
took to kavo Alfred'3 kingdom (thjct hie of his rice woldon). and that their
king should rr c-ivo baptism (Curou. Sax., ed. I'etrie, p. Hoi). Neither of
the conditions heie mentioned are to be found in the extant treaty; but
instead of theia we fiud an article detiuing the boundaries of the two
kirifjdom.fl, which i? not alluded to by tho e.trly writers a3 fjrming any part
of the treaty of c7S. Nor is this all that can be said. The very terms of
the extant trtaty =how that it ought not to }<- confused with the treaty of
878. It i? entitled ' the Peace that KirgAlfr-.d and King Guthruin and the
AVitan of all the Eaglieh nation, and all th- people tl;at are in T.a'^i Auglia.
ha\e ordained.' A treaty m.vie by the I'incs at Chippenham in Wilts,
could i:.it W..11 be >a.id to bo made by ' the p^ .ipl^- that are in Kiut An-lia.'
AbDi'IIO.XAL XOTKS. _ XV
It i=; eviJcat frora tlio use of tliose lerius that t]:*; Ireo.ty in which they were
jnlroduced uuist have beeu made subsequently to the Danish settlement in
y.Ait Anglin ; but the Danes did not Locolne seated in East Anglia till 580,
uccording to Asser and the Saxon Chronicle, that is, not till two years
aftt-r tlie treaty of Chippenham. Con;eque;uly, the treaty we now possess
must Lave been lattr than the treaty of Chippenham ; and the agreement
as to the boundaries passing along the Lea, Ouse, and Watliug Street, was
not made in h7S, but at a later date.
In addition to this, Mercia, south of Watling Street, is further proved to
have been the territory of the Danes after the treaty of 6^78. by the state-
ment of the Angl>Saxon writers, that the Danes fully 'executed' the
conditions of that treaty — 'qua? omnia ille et sui ut promiserunt impleve-
runt' (Asscr), and 'hie tha^t gekcstou' (Sax. Chrun.), coupled with their
statement iLimediately after, that the I'anes, ' according to their promise,'
* departed in 87"..> from Chippenham to Cirencester, and tliere remained for
one }ear.' Cirencester was in the south of Mtrcia, and yet the residence of
the Danes thero for a year was a fulfilment of their promise under the
treaty to evacuate AU'icd's 'kingdom.' Therefore South Alercia under the
treaty of S7S was not a part of that kingdom. Jlence we see at oi:ce that
Alfred wa3 not in possession of South M'.-rcia in 879, nor wa:: he in posses-
sion of any territory north of the Thames till the year SSG, when we find
Lim besieging and taking Ixiudon. 'Interim ob.-idetur a rege .ctlfix-do
urbs Lundoaia. . . . Ktiam post manus cat-^rv^e coufirmatas ibi constitui-
tur dux .Eihered a r-ge priefato cu5l>Jieudi arcem " (Ethelward Chrou.
iv. p. .J17, Ed. Petrie). Here, then, commenced the acquisition of a part of
the Dani-h dominion north of the Thames by conquest from the Danes,
afterwards ratified by treaty.
Mr. I'earsou has quoted (i, 170) a charter from the Codex Diplomaticus
(311^ to prove that Ethelred v.as appointed duke of Mercia immediately
after the treaty of 87S. This charter undoubtedly is dated 880, and is
^vntne-sod by Alfred ajjd by his daughter Elhellleda (apparently as wif.- of
Ethelred); and the latter is styled 'duke of Mtrcia;' but Mr. Keiubb; has
remarked (Cod. Dipl. ii. Preface), that a large proportion of Alfred's
charters are forgeries ; and it seems, either that the chartt- r under considenx-
tion is one of these, or elso that it.i date is an error: for in 880 Elhellleda
was, at the outside, eleven years old (Alfred having married in 808 at nine-
teen years of age), and could not then have been married, nor is it lilvely
that s'je sliould have witnessed a charter at such an age. Mr. Pearson also
produces a charter statin

III. OX THE IWMILY <iF JIASTINGS.
In p. 280 the rmilr.r h;(« id^'ntiiled the hmWy of llp.-ninx^ wit]i tl-.iit of Le
Maresclial do Venoix. A diJi- not view has been taken in an t labdrate
paper on llie Halting? Family (AKh;i?olo^cal Journa], vol. xxvi.), the
general value of ^s■lucll the author de-ir-'s to acknowledge. Its identifica-
tion, however, cf tlio house of I Lusting 5 with that of Ma->oarel appears to
rest on an unsound inference. It is ar^-ued that because ^^■illia)n, son of
"Robert, t. Henry II., and hi'' .«oa K.Jph de llastiug-:, -were possessed of
estates formerly the property of the Mascarels. and because Alexander
Mascarel is expressly stated to have been 'uncle ' of "^Villism, son of Roben,
therefore liobert must have been a Mnscarel, and brother of Alexander.
But thi.sdoes not. follow: Kobert may have married the sister of Alexander
Ma^carel, in which case the lattci would bo • uncle ' of William Fit.'-
Robert; and such, no doubt, was the fact, for Ilobert was a Hasting-s, and
is mentioned t. Henry I. as 'De A'enoix,' the latter being the Xorman, and
Hastings tlie English name of the fiimily. It is needless to jro into the
question of chronology, which appears to be also adverse to this theory. The
author hopes, therefore, that he may be excused for not admitting the
identity of the Mascarel and the Hastings families as proved.

The Normans wctl those fevv^ races of nieii v/hose

a profound and enc ^ influence over the world. They
were a race of th( .e class as the Greek, the-Eoman,
or the Saracen, wl j actions fill the pages of histoiy, and
will remain, engra ;d on the memory of man as long as
humanity itself endures.
Seven centuries have elapsed since the world has known
the Kormans i\\ Englan.d under the form of a se})arate
and distin.ct rattioirality. They have been for that space
of time inextricably blended with other races in England,

It is licro proposed to quote tlu testimony of some of our
most eminent Jiistorians in rehtion to the Norman cha-
racter, because it possesses far nore value and authority
than any other evidence that night be collected from
otlier sources, representing as it iloes the matin-ed opinions
of men perfectly conversant wth the subject on wliich
tliey have vrrit'.cn, and ^vhos' testimony may be consi-
dered to be free from bias o" ^iudice.
The first whose descript: 'he Normaii character
deserves attention is Lord .' •, -who was himself of
Celtic origin.

Scandinavia had sent forth to rava^ cstern Em'ope . . .
At length one of the feeble Ik i of Charlemagne
ceded to the strangers a fertile pro' nee . . . In tliat
province they founded a mighty state, which gradually
extended its induonce over the neighbouring principalities
of Brittany and ^Maine. Without laying aside the danntless
valour v.-hich had be(m the terror of every land from the
Elbe to the ryrenees, tlie Xormans rapidly acquired all,
and more than all, tlie knowledge and refineiacnt wliich
they found in the country v/here they settled. Their

Tliey establi-hed internal order, sucii as liad been long
iiiiknc)A*,'n in the Frank Empire. Tliey cnil^raced Chris-
tianity, and with Cliristianity they learned a great part of
what the clergy had to teach. Tliey abandoned their
native speech and adr)pted tlie Fi'eneli tongue, in which
the Latin was the predominant element. They speedily
raided tlieir new language to a dignity and importance
wliich it had never possessed. They found it a barbarous
jargon, they lixed it in writing, and they employed it in
legislation, in poetry, and in roTiiance. They renounced
that brutal intemperance to whieli all the otlier branches
C)f the great German family AVc-re too much inclined . . .
That chivalrous spirit which has exercised so powerful an
influence on the politics, the morals, and manners of the
Kuropean nations was found in the liigliest exaltation
amongst the Xorman n<:)bles. These nobles were distin-
f'Tiishcd bv their frracefr.l bearipcr and insinaatino- address.

They were distinguished also by their skill in ricgotiation
and by a natural eloquence, which they assiduously culti-
vated . . . But their chief fame was derived from their
mihtary exploits. Every country, from the Atlantic Ocean
to the Eed Sea, witnessed the prodigies of their discipline
and valour. One Norman knight, at the head of a
handful of warriors, scattered the Celts of Connaught.
Another founded the monarcliy of the Two Sicihes, and
saw the E^nperor^ -^f the E:'-t and Vrcsi fly before hi-
arms. A third, the Ulysses of the first Crusade, was

' The Normans,' says Mr. Freeman, ' were the Saracens
of Christendom, spreading themselves over every conier
of the world, and appearing in almost every character . . .
None knew better how to hold their own agahist pope
and prelate : the especial children of the Cliurch were as
little di.^porrcd to unconditional obedience fis the most
stifl-necked of Ghibilines.'
' To free }Zngland,' he continues, ' the Norman gave a
race of tyrants : to enslaved Sicily he gave a line of
beneficent rulers. But to England he gave also a con-
quering nobility, wliich, in a few generations, became as
truly Knglisli in England a^ it had become French in
Normandy. If he overthrew our Harolds and our
Wahheofs, he gave a Fitz-Walter and a Bigod to win
back the rights for which Harold and Waltheof had follen.

grandeur of Caen\-ind Ely, and the brilliant gorgeousness of

' T]ie Normans/ says Proiide, * in occupying both
J!]nglan(l and Ireland, were but fulfilling the work for
wliicli lliey were cspeciajly qualifial and gifled. . . .
TJiey were born rulers of men, and were forced by the
same necessity which has brought the decrepit kingdoms
of Asia under the authority of England and Eussia to
take tlie management, eight centmies ago, of the anarchic
nati()ii> of Western Europe.'^
Ill conteniphiting the Xormau race, then, which became
seated in England in the eleventh century, we are to
recognise in it one of the most extraordinary manifesta-
tions of human intellect and power that the histor}- of the
world aflbrds ; and we are lience impelled at once to
demand further details of the actual hfe and attendant
conditions of a race so siugidar aiul remarkable, We are
led to eiiquiie, Wliat wc:s tlie real character and nature of
the settlement of the Normans in England? \yas it
merely the migration of a small 1)ody of nobles? Was
it, on tlie other hnnd, an immigration as truly national as
that of the Saxons had been ? AMiat was to be the
destiny of this new race? Was it, like some mere
military aristocracies, prede-tined to speedy decay, and to
ultimate extinction ? Was it to be irretrievably lost
i'.mi(l<t the masses of the nations v.'liom it had subdued?
Was its empire to fall into the hands of an alien nation-
ahty ? Are those Norman laws, institution-, language, and
natiunul attributes, which in Englaiid and America bear

whicli t]ie actual inhabitants of the-e countries boar as
i-emote a rdatinn as tliey do to the unknown races wliich
fabricated stone iniplements or ^^erc contemporaiy with
the mammotli ?
Or is the reverse of this tlie trutli ? Is the Norman
race still living — still presenting its essential cliarac-
teiistics — still great, pro-perous, progi'essive, and more
than ever multitudinons ? Is it still produchig new
nations? Is it -till in the van of human progress, yet
still advancing with llrm, practical, deliberate, and mascu-
line intelligence ?
Such are some of the que--tions which suggest them-
selves on perusing the narrative of the adventurous
exploits of the Xormans ; and tliey are questi(;)ns
which, with all the ^c^pect due to .the eminent writers
who have recorded those exploits, have not as yet
received from them the attention to which then- interest
and their im])orlance are entitled.
Mr. Freeman gives expression to the views most
prevalent on this subject. ' The indomitable vigour of the
>?candina\ian, joined to the bnoyaut vivacity of the .Gaid,
provluced the conquering and ruling race uf Europe. And
yet that race, as a race, has vanished. It has everywhere
been absorbed by tlje races which it had conquered.' ' In
Old England,' contimies the same accomplished wj-iter,
' the Xorman race has sunk beneath the inilucnce of a race

less- brilliant, but more enduring than bis o^Yn. The
Norman lias vani^hed from the world, but he has indeed
left a name beliind hini.'^ So, too, Gibbon has said,
'The adventurous Kormans wlio had raised so many
trophies in France, England and Ireland, in Apulia,
Sicily, and the East, were lost in victory or ser\itude
among the vanquislied nations.'"-
These opinions are grounded on the phenomena which
meet the eye and appear on the sm-foce of society.
Historians have not as yet sufficiently considered the
Normans as a whole. They have adopted as their basis
chronicles and records which descrilje chiefly the actions
of tlic higher classes, and whose allusions to the middle
and lower classes are slight and transient, and hence we
fmd the ablest English lu.^lorians at variance on questions
of importance. To some the Norman settlement at the
Conquest presents itself in the aspect of the uugration of
a few thousands of knights and nobles, while oiheis recog-
nise in it the immigration of Normans of all classes. Yet
it is obviously of the greatest importance, in an historical
point of view, to determine whether the Normans were an
aristoci-acy or a nation. It is evident that a nation cannot
be dealt ^v•ith as if it were an aristocracy without risk of
serious error; and it may be said witli deference that if
our historians had from cuTuinstances been enabled to
devote more time and attention to leading que.->Lioiis of

tliis nafure, their views of history might have been m
some important respects modified.
History throvs very httle hght on the fate of the
Nonnaiis after tlie tAvelftli centiny. It does not enable
us to resolve satisfactorily the problem of their later
existence. It is not, in fact, conversant -with those
minuter and more detailed enquiries which would alone
enable it to detemiine such questions of fact. From tlie
twelfth centuiy distinctions of race in England entirely
disappear from the surface of history, and the continuance
and position of the Norman race are merely subjects
of conjecture.
The desirableness of a fresh enquiiy into the later
condition of a race so renownied will perhaps be generally
admitted. The uncertainty in which its fiite remains
involved subsequently to the twelfth century, and the con-
tradictory opinions which prevail on the subject, will
constitute a suflicient apology for an attempt to ascertain
questions of fact. But the enquiry is smTOundedby diiTi-
culties so nmneroiLs tliat tliC reluctance of autliors to
venture upon it is easily to be accounted for. It demands
a special study of subjects not particularly in\'itiDg — an
examination in detail of fact.s and circumstances appurentl}'
too tri\'ial to claim notice, and yet so numerous as to
demand sedulous application, and a considerable expendi-
ture of time. It may disturb opinions very generally
received — may create otlence in maiiy cases — and may
iiitevfere witJi the most cherislied convictions of numerous

iir.possihility tliat almost any aincnint of leisure could suffice
for the elucidation of iliese questions. Tliey have only
come within the reach of solution within the present
generation. In th.e preceding generation the materials
forcnquiryst ill remained almost inacces.-ible in manuscripts;
and liad not the present Minter been enabled to refer to
the Great IIolls of the Is'orman Exchequer in print, as V
edited by Mr. Stnpleton for the Society of Antiquaries
al>out thirty years since, and to realize the valuable results
of that publication, by the aid of the Index which at a
later period ^^a- comi)iled under direction of the Societe
des Antiqnairv^ de la Xoniiandic, and which appears in \
their excellent edition of the same record, it would liave
been totally jmjiossible to write the present work ; and
even the.^e mntcrial.s valuable as they are, would have been
comparatively us.'le.<s in the autlior's hands had he not,
by the merest accident, brought the Exchequer Rolls of
Normandy into juxtaposition with the English records of
the twelfth century.
The EiiiM:-h and Xornian records fin-nish, in irutl., a
singular and perhaps unique instance in Europe of the
preservation and publication of records of two diflcrent
countrie.5, of seven hundred years standing, relating to dif-
feieiit brand :(■< of the same race, and so minutelv detailed
as to enable us to trace the identity of flimilies, and even
individuals, in two count j'ies. Had we possessed either of
thr-;e clas:>es of records singly, without the other, it would
10 - TJIE N'OKMAN TEOrLE ■ '
have been impossible to trace the connexion of rnces ; and
so remarkable is the lidit which they throw on each other,
and on the race to whicli they relate, in its tv-o divisions,
that ii may be said thttt in all probabiUty there is no
parallel instance in the world. Certainly there is nothing
to correspond to it in the case of the Anglo-Saxon and
Dani-h nationalities in England, f«)r there are no records,
either in Scandinavia, or in North Germany and Holland,
■which conld throvv" light on the great masses of the English
branches of their race.
A statement of the circumstances in which the present
enquiry originated may, perhaps, be the most ap})ropriate
mode of conveying to the reader a general notion of the
"chain of reasoning wliich gradually resulted in thexonclu-
sions hereafter to"ljc detailed. . -
Some years since a relative expressed to the ^vriter a
wish that some of his leisure hours might be given to
investigations on the origin of families in wdiich they
Avere mutually interested by descent. In compliance
with that desire some attention was given to the subject
in question ; and the writer very speedily discovered that
the enquiry was not without its attendant difficulties. He
found hiir.-elf innnersed in thorny questions of all descrip-
tions, the age and authenticity of manuscripts and records,
the precise chronology of events not noticed by ordinary
l]istory, the descent of estates and their changes of denomi-
nation, the ideniil}- oi- diver-ity of cuniemporary indi-
viduals ].)caring the same name, the obsolete forms of
THK XOi^MAN ITOPLE 11
cxi-tiiig languages, ihc force and meauiDg of forgotten
liabits, usages, laws, and institutions, the changes in Euro-
pean geograpliy and lopograpliy, tlie coiTect reading and
iuterpretation of records relating to an order of things
that lias passed away.
These investigations continued at inteivals for years,
and iu their cour.:^e familiarity witli the sources of know-
ledge was graduaUy aUained. At length the task was
ended, and the results were — the complete establishment
of the fiict that certain lamilie,-, supposed to be English,
were originally Xui-man, the recovery of their original
Norman names after a disuse of >ix centmies, and ^^'it!l
those names the recoveiy of their early history, both hi
Normandy and England, and the overset of simdry
received heraldic pedigrees. • . "
The particular cases which led to these results could
only be interesting to a very liuiiied circle, Ijut the results
themselves appeared to deserve more attentive considera-
tion. When they were carefully studied it vras perceived
that there must be in England many families which, under
English surnames, preserve a Norman descent. It was
concluded, further, that the same system of enquiry which
had 1)een found successful in tome cases miglit prove
equally success! ul in others ; tliat additional discoveries
might be anticipated ; and that this result might be
attained with comporative facility in consequence of the
expeiieiice v.'hicli liad been gained. Curiosity being
excited, it was resolved to make an excursion into the
12 THE NOKMAN rKOFLE
terra incojniia, not perhaps without some fiiint spark of
tlie same iuterost \\\\\c\\ led tlie advent urer of old to
launch forth on voya^^cs of discovery.
All fliat now remained to lie done was to choose the
point from which investigation should commence. The
first selection (as is often the case in new undertalsings)
proved a failure, and 0})erated as a discouragement. It
was attem]it<'d to trace the descendants of tlie Barons of
the Conqueror mentioned in Domesday Book; but, after
great and not altogether unfruitftd research, it was at
length realised that families may be traced upwards, but
can scarcely be traced downv.-ard-, and the attempt h.ad
to be abandoned.
This failure, however, did not in any degree afTect the
principles which had been previously established by
experiment. They contiiuied intact. It only renviinc-<l,
therefore, to adoDt another field of enqtiiry. The subject
which was chosen was the origin of the peerage families
of the kingdom, amounting to from 500 to GOO. The
extent and tlie importance of tliis undertaking rendered
it a matter of indispensable necessity that a preliminary
survey of the records should be taken, and a ciilical and
historical ajiparatus be provided, commensurate v.ith tlie
magnitude of the v/ork, and afiurding facihty for ])rumpt
reference at every point of the enquiry.
The autlior accordingly employed several montli^ in
the collection and a]phal)ctical arrangement of all tacts of
importance regarding Norman and native Englisii tainilies,

posses.sed of land in England from the Conquest to tlie
fourteenth century. The Monasticon Anglicanum^ Domes-
day 1jOoI\ the Liber Niger, tlie Testa cJe Neville, and
otlier works published under the auspices of the Record
Connnissioners and the Government, tlic Gallia Christiana,
the pul)lications of the Society of Antiquaries of Xormandy,
tlie wo]"ks of Des Bois and Anselnie, and many others,
furr/ished tens of thousands of facts regiirdmg the early
landed aristocracy of England. On the completion of this
apparatus the author found himself in tlie possession of
details regrardincf more than 3,000 different Anglo-
Norman fauiilies, tUe ancient lords of the soil in this
country. These families usually consisted of several
branches, and Avere ^videly disseminated in all parts of the
kingdom ; and then- succession remained uninterruptedly
from the Conquest to the fourteenth centuiy. Cuuld the
author place the details before the reader, nothing more
would be requisite to demonstrate the long contiimance
of the Norman landed aristocracy.
It may be here obsei-\'ed that tlie longest hst of the
companions of the Conqueror ever published — the Battle
Abbey Pioll — includes not much more than 600 names
of Norman famihes. The list as now collected from the
records exceeded 3,000, or was five times the length of
the Battle Al)bey Fuoi^'r a»cl k>ng as it was, was not
perfect. The ]^attle Abbey Eoll mentions a certain part
of the Norman ari^tocracv v/hich vras existing; in tlie time
11 ' Tin: NORMAN I'EOPLE
of Edward I., but it> compiler was not in a position to
cnunioTaic oil the families then extahl.^
Thus provided ^vith a t>^lerably ample critical apparatus,
tlic author proceeded to undertake the enquiry into the
oi-iirin of the peerage fimilies of the kingdom. Tliat task
involved iu the first place tlie examination of the earlier
parts of all the pedigrees v.-hich had been accimiulating
since the ^ixtee]lth century, and which liad been detailed,
and vratered down, and abridged in the various works on
the peerage. In many cases these pedigrees were of veiy
limited extent ; the heralds or otliers, their comi)ilers,
apparently being of opinion, tha^ when any family was so
fortunate as to descend from an alderman or a lord-mayor
tliat dignified origin precluded all necessity for further
investigation. Even a Turkey merchant, a goldsmith, or
an ii'on manufiicturer aj)peared to satiate the appetite for
ancestry ; and descent from these honoured personages
was sufiicient to cstabli>h the superfluousness of all remoter
history. J'ut so different are tastes, that in other cases
fiiniilies were desLrous of attaining the honours of long
descent, and the heralds and genealogists of the sixteenth
and seventeenth centm-ies accordingly were set to work to
provide pedigrees.
Generally ^peaking, these documents may be regarded

as fiiiily authentic in llicir account of families as far back
as tlie fejurtccntli century ; but ^vhen tliey touch on remoter
times tliey require to be viewed wltli a discriminative eye.
Tlie ^?enealo[;ical liistory of England from the eleventli to
the fourteenth century was (except in the case of some
very remarkable families) a terra incognita to the mass of
the writer.-, of the sixteenth and se\entecnth centiu'ies to
wlioni the existing pedigrees arc due. The consequences
may bo anticipated. The author, being aware of the fiicts
of the case generally, felt satisfied that in examining tlie
earlier pails of tlie received pedigrees nothing ought to be
accepted on the mere authority of the heralds or
g( ncalogisls of the sixteenth or seventeenth century, or of
the pedigrees then compiled. The statements were in all
cases deserving of cunsideraiion ; but they required to be
supported by evidence. They were therefore submitted
throughout to the tost of record and fact. They were
examined with the aid of common sense, histor\^ chrono-
loL'v, armorial bearings, public or private records, and
with a due regard to the laws of probabiht}- and fair
liistoriad inference. By pursuing this course throughout,
wherever it was ap[»licable, the earlier English pedigrees
became to a large extent disintegrated and dissolved.
Mistakes and f^ibrications came to light ; blunders, im-
possibilities, and absurdities mxtc strewn around. Tlie
older I'jiglish pedigrees were ihus materially afieeted;
v.-hile the Wel.-li, Iri-h, and Scottish pedigrees of Cellic
families were ahnosi mitouched, simply becaii.-e the

possibility eitlier of accepting or rejecting tliem. 'They
reinainL'd in doubt. ^
Tlie gionnd liaving been tlius cleared fr(v.ri the rubbi<h
^v]lieh liad been permitted to aceunuilate, tlie A\ork of
reconstruction of the older pedigrees, and of the comple-
tion of tliC more recent pedigrees, commenced.
A close examination wu'^ immediately instituted into the
earliest authentic accounts which we possess of the
ancestors of cacli family. The ascertained facts were
compared in each case with contemporary history and
the records. At tlie proper pulnt the extensive collec-
tions regarding the early aristocracy of England vrhicli
had been foi nied came into play, and })rovcd to be of in-
calculable utility. The course of proceeding was regulated

liistory and iu song. The progress made warranted tlie
expectation that results of importance might be antici-
pated. It is desirable to pause for a moment, and to
consider the results as they actually came out in the end.
The popular peerages ascribe (more or less dubiously)
a Xorman origin to a score or two of peerage families. In
many cases that origin is apocryphal or erroneous ; it may
be doubted whether a dozen families in tlie peerages are
correctly identified in these works as Norman. The great
mass of peerage families are not traced to any particidar
nationality; but from the circumstance of their being
generally endowed with brief pedigrees the impression is
left that tJiey have sprung from the masses ; and as the
latter are (according to received opinion) Anglo-Saxon,
the natural inference is that the body of the peerage is
ab^o of that race. Hence we have heard noble lords
di-rhiimiiig for the House of Lords any descent from
the Norman invaders of England ; and it vrould appear
that at present Anglo-Saxon descent is in especial favour,
and that the peers themselves are anxious to claim- it
wherever "practicable, for there are even many noble
families which announce themselves as Anglo-Saxon
^vithout the shirhtest ri^^ht to that distinction, such as it is.
Such being the popidar \'iew of peerage farnihes, let it
be permitted for a moment to contrast it with the state
of things as disclosed by an unbiassed and inde])endent
inquiiy.
The peerage fomilies which formed tlie subject of this
18 ■ . TlfE XOrvIMAX PEOPLE
inquiiy corrcspomlcd to the nmnber of peers, about
5o0 iu number.^ Of these about twenty ^vere a>cer-
tained to be foreign faraihes uatiuah'^Gd in Enghmd vntli-
in the last three cenlmies. Eiglity, or thereabout.^s were
found to be CeUic fitmihe^ from Wales, Scotland, and
Ireland. Twenty- (about) were determined to be Anglo-
Saxon and Danish. About 110 (man}* from Scotland),
though in luo.^t cases ancient, could not be assigned to
any particular nationahty, but were doubtless either
Norman, Danish, Saxon, or Celtic. The remainder, being
al')Out 320, were ascertained to be Norman. As it may
be inferred with probability that {he families of uiiascer-
tained races (about 110) belonged to some of these
native race-^, and miglit be divided amongst them, in
proportion to their re.-pective numbei"s, it seemed that on
this princi})le the Norman limb of tlie peerage vrould rise
to 400 out of 550, the Anglo-Saxon and Danish, peerage
rising at the same time to the number of twenty-five, so
that the Norman would be to the Anglo-Saxon and
Danish peerage as about sLxteen to one.
Facts like these aVe not altogether without importance.
It has been thougiit advisable to di-claim for the House
of Lords any connection with the old feudal and Norman
aristocracy : popular ethnological theories no douljt are
in harmony with that view. If, however, as a matter of
fiict, the peerage of England is not Anglo-Saxon, but

almost entirely Norman, and if tlic Scottish, L-ish, and
Welsh peerage only help to lessen the Norman inajority
by adding Celts, we must make the best we can of the
circumstance.
As far as it apjK\irs, the Normans have at least as
mncli preponderance in the peerage at tlie present
moment as they had in the time of William the Conqueror
and in the following century. The proportions remain
nearly the same. And it may here be added that,
contrary to what we might have supposed, it is rather in
the ])eerages of modern creation than in those of ancient
st:i.ndii^g that we find the lineal male descendants of the
early Ix-iionage. If we were advcd to pohit out those
families which are of the highest Norman descent, and
wliosc past is most identified with the liistory of En<^land,
wo slir.uld have to j^ass over many of the oldest peerages
Jiow exi.-tiiig, and to turn to fiimihes wliich have been
considered to be of modern and inferior orio-in. It i^
however, a flict deserving of notice that so great a pro-
portion of the peerage appears to be of Norman blood,
and that this observation especially applies to peerages of
modern date. On this some remarks will presently be
offered.
Thierry, in his history of the Conquest, has endeavoured
to thr.nv contempt on the Ar.glo-Norman baronage of
the Co])quest,on the ground that it had in general sprung
from the lowest classes iii Normandy— a mode of dis-
paragement which in the mouth of so strong an opponent
c2
20 Tin: XOIJ\L\X PrOFLE
of the aristocratic principle seems peculiarly incon-
.sisteut, n.-' it involves those very distinctions of race which
are most objected to. Few will be inclined, in the
present doy, to deny that, if obscurity of birth formed
no obstacle amongst the Normans to the reward of pubuc
services and distinguished merit, it only proves their
superior eidightermient ; nor is it a matter of much
importance to refute tljc imputations of Tliierry on the
lineage of the Norman baroriage. As simple matter of
fact, however, such imputations are unfounded. As a
whole, tlie native Norman nobility who were transferred
in a body to England were not inferior in l)irth to those
of any country in Em*opc. The greater barons, as well
as the Conqueror himself, were known in the eleventh
century to be of Norwegian blood. They were of princely
birth, representatives of tlie dispossessed ro}-al famihes of
the twenty-two ancient kingdoms of Norway, who had
been deprived of their dominions by the conquests of
Harold Harfoger. In addition to this, niany of the most
ilhistrious Gothic and Frank hoiLses joined in the invasion,
and their descendants in many cases have remained in
England. In fact, if -sto look for the descendants of the
.early kings of the North, and the Merovingian barons of
France, they will be found at present amongst the Norman
people of England and America.
But it is time to revert to the subject of the existing
peerage families uf England. Great numbers of tliese
families have risen from the middle classes, by commerce,
THE noi":m.v>: PEorLE ' 21
trade, profession?, aiid succossful marriages. Now these
NonnaDs of tlie peerage do not seern, as f^ir as can be
noticed, to Jiave had any special advantages in the way of
hereditaiy position and wealth over the Anglo-Saxon,
Banish, and Celtic fomilies ; yet in the race of life they
have completely distanced them. How is this ? Why is
it that tlie peerage of England, which is continually
recruited from the middle and lower classes, nevertheless
remains essentially Norman, and not only Norman, but in
a great degree lineally descended from tlie Normau nobi-
lity of the Coiiquest ? ' ■
The Norman families of the peerage will be found
noticed in detail in the alphabetical portion of this work
under their respective family names. Taken as a class
th(,-y present another illustration, in addition to the many
which already exist, of the long continuance of English
society and English institutions. That continuity has
l>een well and eloquently impressed upon us by great
li\ing liistorians. It meets us in a tliousand forms— in
matenal fabrics, maimers, laws, language, and tenitorial
denominations. The peerage families are, as a class,
anotlicr eWdence of continuity. The same Norman
nobility which surrounded the throne of tlie Conqueror,
continues, in its remote poslerity, to occupy the same
])h!ce in the reign of the Conqueror's latest descendant,
cnrr present Sovereign— continues to occupy its baronial
phioe in parliament — continues to preside on the judicial

and continues generally to control and to direct the affairs
of the Engli.-h empire. " ■ . '
It would bo easy to adduce many cases of this
description, to enumerate the male representatives of
Bigods, Do Toesnis, ]3eaucliainps, Be Clares, Tankervilles,
Braoses, Montfichets, and many others vdiose names of
pride and power once filled the trumpet of fame, and
-whose posterity still remain seated amidst the peers of
England, But a tlieme on -\vliicli history and poetry
miglit love to dwell mu.-t not here distract attention from
our immediate subject. As it has Ijecn already observed,
the Norman famihes of the peerage will be found men-
tioned in the alpliabetical series of this work, under
their |)re<ent names.
On the completion of this exteu'^ive undertaking (the
origin of the peerage families of the kingdom), the
author still remained unsatLsfied. Others might, perliaps,
have su])posed that the subject had been pushed suffi-
ciently in advance ; but the author coidd not help feeling
disirust in his own conclusions, notwithstanding the care
and diligence of his iuquines. He was unable to com-
prehend the vast disparity in point v(: numbers between
the Xormans and the Anglo-Saxon or Danish families
in the peerage. Ilovv-ever, he resolved to extend the
range of the inquuy, and accordingly proceeded to
examine numbers of the older families amongst the
baronets, many of the older lamilies of lauded g'jntry,
and many other families which were no longer in

possession of tlieir ancieot patrimoines. lie discovered
in tlie course of tliese iiiquiiies the descendants of early
baronial families wliich had no representatives in the
peerage, as -well as others which occur there. Anglo-
Saxon or Danish families he very rarely encountered. In
some cases he failed to ascertain the national origin of
families; but wherever he was enabled to determine
that origin it was usually Xorman. The Xormans were
in a great majority; the Anglo-Saxons *and Danes in
an insignificant minority. Numerous instances of the
results of these inqukies will present themselves in
the alphabetical series of names.
The author was next brought into contact with a ne\Y
class of Enghsh families, taken indiscriminately from all
ranks. He v/as led by circumstances to investigate the
origin of many of the leading names in English liistory ;
the groat captains, statesmen, poets, philosopheis, jm'ists,
divines, men of science, mechanists, inventors, merchant
princes, and others who have gained celebrity in the
national annals. That inquiry was laborious, and its
length compelled the author eventually to desist from
its prosecution. But so far as it proceeded, tlie flicts
elicited entirely corresponded with those brought out by
preceding inquii-ies. The ancestry of the intellectual
aristocracy of England was gencrall}^ Xorman. The
Anglo-SiLxon and the Dane were in a hopeless minority ;
tliey ^vere con.-iiderably outnumbei-ed by the Celt. Tl\e
Normans far exceeded in number tlie whole of the other
races put togetlier.
21 TIIi: NOrMAX fkople
A question at length here presented itself — Ilns race
anything to do ^vitli mental capacit}- ? The author does
not pretend to deal -^vitli that question ; but few, he
ai)prehends, will deny the descent of national charac-
teristics to a considerable extent, and the remarkable pre-
ponderance of the Normans amongst the most eminent
names in English hi-tory seems to show that they are
an inst;uice of the transmission of hereditary intelligence.
The Normans were certainly the most practically intel-
ligent and energetic race of their age. Their descendants
would seem to have inherited those high qualities ; and
if it be so, their success in life is sufficiently accounted
for, ajid it might even be conjectured that under other
circumstances — even if society should break loose from its
old moorings and go to pieces — the Normans would still
be found in the ascendant. And (as it were to supply
food for thought) even now, agricultural labourers and
coal-miners cannot combine for objects which demand
the exercise of practical abihty without finding them-
selves led by those who, though in humble stations,
bear names of undoubted Norman origin.^
The author feels himself imder a disadvantage in
being precluded, by the extent of the evidence on which
' 'Arch ' (whence Thorpe- Arch in York::hi.'-e) is derived from Do Arches,
or De Arques, Viscounts of Arquea and Rouen, See Ar.cn, and Savixle in
the alpl;:\be Ileal list. * Normansell ' is r. corruption of Normauville, the

l)c states these fact?, from producing examples which
would strengthen his position. He can only refer to the
alphabetical scries of Korman names wliich forms the
bulk of this work. It would embarrass his argument
to adduce here hundreds of instances in proof of what
he has stated. Nor can it be pretended that the inquiries
which have been instituted have done more than open
the subject. They have touched on a very small part
of it. The labour of three lives would scarcely suffice
to carry out the inquirj' conipletely. There are great
immbers of noble Norman houses whose existing de-
scendants have not yet been discovered ; vast numbers
of others which involve mysteries which may in many
cases be inscrutable, and in most would require much
expenditure of time and labour to elucidate. Nevertheless,
the inquiries of the author, imperfect as they are, and
limited as their range may be, will go far to establish
the fact that the Norman nobility continues to exist as
a whole in England at this day, and that it is still amply
represented in the male line — that, in short, if the Normans
(as some think) were merely an aiistocracy, that aristo-
cracy exists in vastly increased numbers at the present
hour.
The result of the inquiry so far satisfied the author
that the identification of the whole Norman aristocracy, as
still existing in England, was simply a question of time;
but at this point the inquiry assumed a new shape, which
rcqunes consideration in a separate chapter.

It has been already noticed tliat the collections vrhich had
been formed diiclo.-ed the existence of above 3,000
diiTerent families of Xorman nobility in England, vrhich
had become seated here at the Conquest. The inquiries
wliich had subsequently l^een instituted had showed that
several liundred of ihe^e families were still in existence,
bcaiing either their original surnames, or Enghsh names
adopted in lieu thereof at a remote period. It became
necessary, however, at length, to consider the rate of
progress which had been attained, and the chance that it
would be possible to bring the inquiry to any satisfactory
conclusion. On a sm'vey of progress made, it appeared
that the course hitherto adopted (liamely that of tracing
individual f imilies to their origin), however satisf ictory in
itself, involved so great an expenditure of time that tlie
advance made was necessarily but slow. It is true that
in some cases it was a matter uf faciliiy to connect

l)iit frequently it ^YOllld require clays or weeks to arrive
at the desired identification of a single family. Some-
times cveiy English record aud eveiy memorial of local
history might be searched in vain, until the inquiry in
that particular case had to be abandoned as hopeless, and
so to remain until, perhaps months afterwards, the infor-
mation long sought for in vain v\-ould accidentally occur
in some foreign charter, or elsewhere, where least
expected. In many cases, too, where success was at last
attained, it was only tlie result of inquiries of a laborious
and complicated nature. It had been necessary, perhaps,
to investigate throughout a loi^.g series of records the
descent and inheiitauce of family estates ; to trace them
through changes of orthogi-aphy and of denomination of
a perplexing natm'c ; to examine the history of the various
famihes which had possessed those estates ; and to inquu'e
into the earliest forms of the iu-niorial bearini^s of those
fiiLuhes. It had perhaps been foimd impossible to obtain
sufficient information on these points. It liad become
necessary to examiiie wholesale the liistory and the armo-
rial bearings of aU famihes within extensive districts, and
thencc to gather remote hhits lea^ling to the requisite clue.
However interesting might be the attempt to solve the
difficulties which presented themselves in these inquiries,
it became evident that to identify even a few hundred
families would dt-mand a serious expenditure of time —
that it would be hopeless to expect, within any deluiable
period, the complete identification of all the early Norman
2S • THE XOllMAN PEOPLi: ' ■ ''\
families still extant. Yet it seemed to be imdesirabic
to leave the inquiry altogether unfinished Avhen results
so interesting and so satisflictor)" had been attained in its
progress. It tlierefore became necessary to consider
whether any mode of inquiry was practicable by which,
without abandoning the historical character of the investi-
gation, a material abridgment of the time consumed in it
might be eflectcd. It v.-as at this crisis of the inquiry
that a mode of proceeding presented itself whicli will be
presently explained.
When we seek for remains of anticpiity in London
there is no necessity to make a pilgrimage to Westminster
Abbey or the Tower, or to inspect the treasures of the
British Museum, or tlie Kecord Office. Monuments of
equal, or of greater, though unrecognised, antiquity present
tliemselves on every side. The historian or the archa?.o-
logist need only lift up his eyes and peruse the names
whicli present themselves on shops and warehouses, and
on the carts and waggons that roll by. Those names are
strangely suL^'jestive to one who is familiar with English
liistory. Their present position tells of strange revolu-
tions in past tiuics. Those names seem to assort but ill
with their present places. They once belonged to the
mighty nobles and chiefs who conquered England, and
whose descendants were renowned in Palestine and Fran.ce.
Those names are now borne by the merchant, the shop-
keeper, the artisan, the labourer. •
Whence come these memorials of the eleventh cen-

tury, these resurrections of ^vhat was once so famous in
history, tliese names of the past, formerly surrounded by
all the attributes of splendour, and power, and chivalry,
. and almost kingly dominion ? Are ^^'o to suppose those
names to be mere impostures, fraudulent assumptions,
forgeries? Or are they not, rather, silent witnesses
of the vast changes v/hicli time introduces into society ?
It Avas not the custom in England to change liereditary
surnnriics without necessity, and from mere fancy or
cajnicc. Nor is there any record in England of the
system of clan names by which in Scotland and Ii^ehmd
the ad]}erents of the patriarchal chieftains distinguislied
themselves. Clans did not exist in this country, and the
adherents of the barons did not adopt the names of their
feudal suzerains. The surnames of England have descended
linc;illy in families from remote ages ; and tliose wliich are
found in the middle and lov.'cr classes, and which ori-
ginally belonged to illustrious houses, are, with very few
exceptions, beyond doubt genuine. The writer expresses
tills opinion after cai'eful and lengthened inquiry, and is
entirely satislied that these names have not been adopted
in modern times; for tlie families from which they are
derived have been so long forgotten that nothing v/ould
have been gained by the assumption of their names. And
besides this, a person who wished to obtain the credit of
belonging to one of those ancient stocks would at least
ha\e been careful, in adopting the name, to preserve its
correct orthography ; whereas the mass of these old
^0 " " THE XOR^fAX PEOPLE
names occur in corrupt forms, and undei- every conceivable
variation of speUmg, wliicli clearly indicates the undesigned
nature of the changes themselves, and the remotenels of
an origin Avjiich, in tlie course of time, had been the
source of so many variations.
Setting aside, therefore, any objection to thegenuiiiencss
of these masses of ancient names as altogether unfounded,
we may connder the real causes of the position which they
occupy in llie middle, and even in the labouring classes.*
The decadence of ancient and the rise of new families
in England are facts wliich are well known, and which
are evidei.ced hy what is daily passii-r before our eyes.
There is a perpetual ebb and flowin the fortunes-of families;
and more especially has this been the case for the last
three centuries and a half, when the old feudal institutions,
which rendered the transfer of estates diHicult, and which
impeded the creatioji of large rentals, ha\e come to an end.
Landed property has long ceased to be destined to the
maintenance of a great national army : it has become an
article of commerce— ha. been throA\-u open tothemonied
classes— has become capable of being treated as a source
of pecuniary profit. The ancient Xorman landholder
hved without the aids and appliances of modern luxuiy.
His grandeur consisted, not in the length of his rent-roll,
the brilhancy of his equipages, or the beauty of his palaces
and parks hut in tlie slrengih of his fortresses, and the
numbers of armed and discipHned retainers and feudal
tenant- who followed hU standard. His splendour con-
Tin- xor.^rAX peopi.e 31
si-ted in liis pcAvor. All thi- has long siiK'c pas-ud nv.'iiy,
and land, fi-om the middle of the irlxteeuth con tiny, began
to fall into the posi'ion of other marketable property.
The result was that, as eommercLal enterpiise created
wo;dlh, the old landed ari^^tocraey wa^ gradually replaced
by new families. If we compare the landed proprietaiy
of any one county in the present day with the lists of its
pnilry in the reign of Elizabeth, it would seem at first sight
n< if the whole of the old proprietary had died out. Eare in-
deed are the cases in which the same estates have descended
in the same name for three centurie'^. T^Ir. Shirley, in his
iulen-«ting work on tlie ' Gentle and Nibble ' families of
Kiigl.md who h.ave held their estates iVum A.n. 1500 and
previously, is unable to enumerate more than about four
Inmdrcd altogether, including peei^s, baronets, and landed
pcnt»-y — a mere insignificant fraction of the landowners of
Iv.igl.md. The ma-s of the oM jn'opnetors have either
died out or transferred their e-tates by heiresses to new
f Uiiilies ; or they have migrated to other parts of England,
to Ti eland, to Scotland, or to the colonics. Numbers have
taken up their abode in America, and their descendants
remain there at the present day. They have in the majo-
rity of cases ceased to be possessed of lar.ded property, and
liave engaged in commercial or industrial employments.
In former ages, as now, proA.'-sions and trade vrere
frequently the resource of the younger sons of g<;od families,
for the family cA-dio passing to the elder son, the junior
brunches had to seek their own fortunes Nor were tlieir
oJ THE XOUMAX TEOrLE
undertakings always fortunate: brandies of aristocratic
families gradually fell lower in the world, and became
impoveri-luMl. The leading branches of these families,
whose importance in some degree upheld tlie jiosition of
these remote kinsmen, gradually died out; the estates
passed away by heircw-es to new famihes, or wej*c lo.-t by
extravagance, mir-fortunes, and embarrassments ; the old
names were foigotton by the world ; the scions of these
anrient families fell lower and lower, till, in some cases, at
length nothing remained to them except family names,
of whose ancient importance they were no lon^^er conscious.
All traecs of tlieir descent had Vkhii lo-t and obliterated ;
and when ri.-iug once more to renewed j)rosperity, after
the lapse of ages, they ro>e as new familie-, without ante-
cedents, and wit];out ancestry.
Such have been the variations of society in KiiLdaud,
where, notwithstanding an unparalleled stability of institu-
tions, everything is, like the ocean, in a state of perpetual
(lux and rellux, the old di>apj)eanug before the new, and
the new suj)ei?eded in its turn l)y tlie old — the nobility,
the gentry, the middle clashes, and the lower, gradually
changing ])laces, and gradually resuming their original
positions. In a few generations the noble families of the
present will have des./endod to the ranks of the gentry or
the commcreial community. The tradesmen of to-day will
be the forefathei's of the peers of to-morrow: and we
perhnp« ourselves have tenants or servants whose blood
may be better than our own.

I)rintcd list of English surnames, with a vie-w to ascertaiji
whether some of the Norman surnames whicli are to be
found in tlie ancient records were still in existence, and
he liad occasionally tliscovc red them there. Tliese Cii.>ual
a:id transient references convcye<l a very imperfect notion
of tile amount of information actually comprised in that
vaat repo.sitoiy of surnames.
When, liowever, it became necessary (as h:uj been
explained) to discover a summary mode of completing
the lists of existing Norman families, the siu-names of the
l>ju<lun Directory ;it ouoc occurrct.1 to recollection as the
means of determining with increased speed whether the
ancient NLtrman fanulie> stUl survive. Up to that moment
l)ie notion that there ever had been originally any class •
of Normans in England except that of the landholders
had not jnxvented itself. Eveiy one habitually regards
the X<.>rnia'is of Knghuid as an aristocracy. To say that
a family is Normau is nearly equivalent to saying that it is
amongst the oldest of tlie old and the noblest of the noble.
Tlic current notion appears to be that the ])eoj)le of
Enghmd after the Conquest were Anglo-Saxon, wljiic
the ari.'locracy w;u> Norman ; and the author U]> to th.is

With such sentiments the author commenced a new

t>r all the surnames of the London Directory, in the liope
of cumpleting his li>ts of extant Norman names. Every

Tlicy arc to the last degree peri^lexing. Ilov/cvor, witli
tlio oid of :\[r. Jy^wor's Patronymica, wlicie many of
these nondescripts are shown to be local names, and by
considerable research, tliis class of names was graduaUy
eliminated from the inquiry.
Tliere remaine*! then a hir-o class of surnames which
might probably include the existing Norman families.
K.>r was tliis expectation disappointed. These surnames
conlributcd a considerable addition to the immber of
those Norman names which had already been ascertained
to be actually extant, or to bu concealed midcr En-dL^h
names. So far the inquiry M-a> all that had been antici-
I)ated. It did nnt by any mean- t-xhau.t the h>t of above
3,000 names which were included in the collections.
Numbers of those names still rtmaineil not identified as
still existing. Yet an advan.x- had been made ; the
Normuu aristocracy had been more extensively re-
covered, and it. might fiirly be expected that, if tlie
whole body of surnames in England could be examined,
the remainder of the ari:>tocratic names would make their
appearance.
But while this branch of the inquir}- was mnkii]"
gradual j>rogre5s, a phenomenon began to present itself
which at first attracted no particular attention. Names
came to ligjjt in the London Directory which were at
once idc-ntifjcd a< Xormaii. for v^uious reason-, and more
especially because tliey aj-e actually found in the Norman
records of the Exchequer, 1180-3200. But tho.se names
TlIE NOKM.VX PEOPI^E . " 37
were not included iu the author's long hsts of Norman
names of Enghsli Lindo-wiiers. He presumed at first, as a
matter of course, that these were merely exceptional cases,
in which he had omitted to. enter any particulars in the
collections tli rough some accidental oversight. But lie
gradually became siu'prised to find what numbers of
tliese names liad been pas-cd over. The numbers that
came pouring in began to be an embarrassmeui. It was
impossible to account for this fact. The writer became
at length perfectly astonished. The new names came in
by masses. Ilis long lists became compardti^ ely useless ;
they were stranded, like a ship left, high and dry by the
receding tide. The autlior felt that they threw the most
serious doubts on the value of his lists and collections,
M-hich he had been almost inclined to regard as complete
and exhaustive. Were those lists wliich had been so
lalK)riously formed, and which were five or six times the
length of any known list of Norman names, a mere
failure.^ Did they, after all, contidn a mere fraction of
the Norman surnames? Eeflection on all that had passed
in the com])ilation of those lists led to the conviction that
very little in the shape of Norman names in the old
Enghsh records could have esc;iped from the inquiries
that had been instituted. The best sources of information
had been carefully examined ; no name apparently
foreign had been wittingly passed over. It seemed that
there could hu\e been no material omission of facts
bearing on the early landed aristocracy of England. Tlie
38 Tin: ^'OR^Lvx people
v.-ritcr remained ifatisfie<.l, after full consideration, that In's
lists and collections could not have been materially added
to, even if ]^e had undertaken again to go through tlie
whole mass of ancient records.
How was it tlien possible to account for the contra-
dictor)^ fact that tlie names of hLs hsts were so greatly
outnumbered by Xorman names entirely new ?
An explanation of tlie fact presented itself. Tliose
new and unaccountable Xorman names must have been
transjjlanted to England in tlie com-se of the emigration
of the lluguenut- in the reign of Elizabeth, or at the
revocation of the Edict of Nantes, or at the period of the
French revolution. This seemed a possible solution of
thedifTiculty. It was immediately tested : but it vvas found
that the names in question couM bo traced in England
long before the dates above mentioned. They occurred
in the Enghsh records of the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. They vrere then apparently as old and as much
settled as any other Xorman names in this country.
They were also clearly traced in Xormandy itself to a
period of undefined antiquity. The inference was that
they had come over from Xormandy at the Conquest.
It was tlien, at length, that the author opened liis
eyes to the flict that tlierc must have been another class
of Xormans in England besides tlie Xorman aristocracy.
His lists had contained a true li^t of the Xorman land-
owners or feudal aristocracy. But thore had evidently
been a more numerous body of Xormans in Englan<] tlian
Till-: NOltM.VN I'KOl'LE o\)
llie 1:iik1owi]l'1>, and tliat body was tlie Xornuin middle and
lower clns^os. The Xormans, then, had consisted not only
of an ari<locr:icy, but of a ])eoplo : they had come as a
nation to EiK^land. Xot only liad the barons and kniglits
of Normandy accompanied King William, bnt their feudal
tenantry, and the free cla<-es of Xcfi'mandy generally, had
accompanied the barons and settled here.
On submitting this view to practical tests, it was
coTifirmed. AVlien those English records which are the
first to detail the name« of the middle classes were
examiiiod, these new Xorman name- were found there,
not amongst the barons and landowners, but amongst the
petty lando■s^me^s, free tenants, villeins, cottiers, and
Iturges-es of towns. They represented the classes of
copyhoMers of manor<, petty freeholdei-s, firmcrs,
trade=;men, and merchants. They were to be found in
Ijjgland in mur-h the same ])Osition which they occupied
in Normandy — not amongst the aristocracy, but amongst
til" middl*', labouring, and industrial classes — the classes
of the Norman freemen, who were all of Norman blood.
In addition, an unexpected fact was brought to light. The
writer had been under the impression that hereditary
surnames, lilie armorial bearings, were in early times
peculiar to tlie higher classes, and that it was not till tv.-o
or three centuries after the Conquest that their example
wa«^ followed by the middle and lower classes. But it
now l)ecame evident that hereditary surnames were in
u-^e by all cla.-^res in Normandy in the middle of the
40 THE NOl^.MAX TEOrLE
elcventli ccjitiiry. Tliey tle>cendcd fioiu tliat date both
ill Xorniaii and Eng]i>li brandies of tlie same l\imilies :
and it may v/oll l)e conjectured that tliose names may
liave hoen pi-cservcd more frequently l\\- tlic descendants
of the middle classes than by those of the aristocracy, for
tlic latter contiiniall}' exchanged their Xorman names for
those of thrir manors, wheieas tlic former had no such
inducement to change.
A close inspection of the names of the tenantry in
Engli:>h manors and in English towns in the thirteenth
century (being the earlic-t date at whicli v.e become
acquainted Avith the details) Mas instituted ; and it proved
that in some cases the Xorman names of the tenantry
amounted to above, and in others to less than a moiety of
tlie whole, and generally to about a moifty. Instances of
these researches \\ill be found further on in this -vvork.^
Similar cases of Xorman names of the middle class
presented themselves in cities and boroughs in similar
abundance."
These facts necessarily led to a re-examination of
history, and of the facts Avhich it records bearing on the
Xorman race and its migration to England, and it then
further api)eared that, considering the condition, both of
Xormandy and of England, before and after the Conquest,
there was a moral certainty that the migration to England
must have been that of a people, and not (as had been
f^upposid) mei -ly that of an ari.^tocracy. Tlie detail.:> of

The iuqiiiiy was pursued througliout the whole list of
names of tlie mercantile and trading classes of London in
the Director}-, aniMunling, as nearly as can l)e estimated,
to 20,000. Of these about one-tenth appear to be
Hebrew, modern-foreign, and Celtic surnames, leaving
tlio properly Englisli surnames about 20,000.
'1 he result of the inquiry into the Norman surnames
in thr ])iicctory (iiirludiug those |>reviou-ly ascertained
to be existing) shf>\ved a total number of about C,000,
besides those Knglisli local names which cover Xormau
descent, and the details of these names and fiimilies will be
f'uud >l:tt«.(l in tlie alphabetical part of this work. Tlie
Norman names, therefore, being about 0,900, and tlie
total of English names 20,000, it ajjpeared that the iNor-
man names constituted about a quarter of the whole.
The surnames of tlie London Directory, however,
form only a Mnall part of the .surnames of the United
Kingdom. The Registrar-General estunates the sum total
at more than 100,000 distinct surnames, of which we may
a><ume lliat one-tenth are Hebrew, foreign, and Celtic,
le.iving 90,000 as tlu? corrected number of surnames
properly English. If we are entitled to infer that the

the ])irectory of all JCngland would be, but that the same

Feeling the necessity, then, of testing in some way
the relation between the Jjondon Directoiy and that of
all England as regarded their respective proportions of
Norman nam.>, the author obtained (through the courtesy
of the Kegistmr-Gencral) a copy of part of the general list
of sui'names in all England jueservixl at Somerset Ilouse.
On examining the nauK-« comprised therein it af)peared
that, after deducting Ih.-bivw, f .reign, and Cehic names,
about one-fourth of the residue were Norman.'
The results of the inquiry will be found in the
Appendix. This cxi>criment showed that tlic London
Directory furni-lies a fair specimen of the entire body of
English surnames.

It is now necossaiy to consider another class of names
which were not included in the preceding inquiry. That
inquiry was (as has been said) restricted entirely to
surnames of a purel}- Xonnan origin ^tili remaining in
England. But names derived from English localities
were put aside altogether,- except the comparatively small
number which had been shown by pre\ious inqiui'ie^ to
cover Xurman descent.
It is, however, liere advisable to give some little
attention to the subject of the English names borne by
Korman families. The author is not aware that anyone
has hitherto attempted on system, and tu any extent, to
disinter the long-lost aboriginal surnames of families now
bearing English local names. According to his impres-
sions genealogi-ts liave been in general satisfied when
they have ascertained the remote-t era at which present
surnames can be found recorded ; and their authentic
histories commence from that point, whatever is related
by them of earlier times, origin, vS:c., being founded on

o
the same names. Doubtless, these local names were in
many cases borne simultaneously by f\imilics of tliilerent
orijrin. The names of loc;iliiies themselves were occa-
sionally fouiKl identical in dillerent districts ; and therefore,
on the whole, notwithstanding the fact that wherever
il is possible to trace the origin of locally named families
the preponderance lies with the Normans, it would be
difllcult to c-*limate the a<'tual proportion of such sur-
names which should be tL-ssigncd to the NoriiUin>, and to
the native races respectivily.
What docs, however, soem to come out distinctly as
the result of the whole inquiry, so far as it lui.s advanced,
is this, that the Norman race in England is of veiy
great magnitude. After making allowance for the
occurrence of error in the process u( ivK-ntiiication, it
yet seems clear that al>jut a quarter of the whole
mass of existing old Knglir^h sunuinies are of puivly
Norman origin, and that a large proportion of tlic
remainder arc in all probability borne by families of
Norman descent. Many of tlic Norman names are
exceedingly common, being borne by many hundreds of
families ; and, as far as the writer has been able to
ascertain, it .-ecms that on an average the distinctly
Norman naniL'.> are bornu by as many families as those
Nvhi<h are n<»L di-tini.tly Norman, even including among-t
the laLicr nauics entling iji ' <ou,' some of the most com-
mon of which arc probably imhcativo of Danish origin.
46 THE N0IOL\N PEOPLE
The coDsequence is that we may iliirly assume that the
Nonnan population bears tlic same ratio to the entire
population of Eugland as the Norman names do to the
English names generally ; and that if a quarter or a
tliird of our names are Nonnan, the Xormans themselves
araoujU to a quarter or a tliird of the Enghsh nation.
With tliese facts before us, it is simply impossible to
uphold the notion tliat the Xormans constituted a mere
aristocracy in England. We have to deal -with the fact
tliat, according to all aj^pearance, a third or more of tlie
English population is Xorman ; that the Normans amongst
us arc not to be numlxred by units or tens, as some
persons suppose, but by millions. All theories as to tlie
exlincti'.in of tlie Normans, or their absoj-ption by the
Saxons, are swept away by the weight of facts. It is
clear that the Norman Conquest involved the migration
of a nation. We cannot conceive that the Normans,
who no^v probably form a tliird or more of the p^jpula-
tion of England in the nineteenth century, could have
formed less than a third in the eleventh and twelfth
centuries. The Norman race remains in England. It
lias struck its roots deejjly into every rank and class of
society. It is found throughout, leavening the entire
Enghsh community, and constituting, v.'c may say, the
most important element in the v/hole. It has been well
and nobly said by a great living historian tliat tlie
Norman became as iriJy English in England as he had
become French in Normandy. The national life is
bound up with the existence of this gi'cat race.
THE NORMVN PEOPLE 47
These pages are perhaps the fir:>t vrhicli have attempted
to trace in detail the connexion of the Xorman race ^vith
general society in England ; to show that tlie Norman
blood pervades a]l classes and orders ahke ; that tlic
vigorous hfe of ancient Scandinavia, \vhich has its
counterpart in modern Eiigland and in America, has been
transmitted through thirty generations to the existing
people of these countries.
One or two circumstances may be here mentioned in
illustration of the continuance of the Norman blood in
various classes of society in England, and its wde national
diffusion.
Ill tlie southern counties of England there lies a
remote and secluded district,, where the population has
remained in unchanged and unbroken descent for many
ages. The same familj- names of farmers, copyholders,
petty tenants, trade.-men, and labom-ers, may be traced
in the parish register fi'oni age to age since the com-
mencement of the reign of Ehzabeth. The birtlis,
maiTiages, and deaths of this commimity are recorded
with a regularity which might cause envy to some man
of brief pedigree and long purse, anxious to extend the
list .of his ancestry. In. the midst of this district rise
the grey an.d rna-sive ruins of a baronial donjon, sur-
rounded by extensive trenches, the ancient seat of tlie
lords of the soil. That time-Avorn castle owes its origin
to a mighty baron of the Conqueror, who accompanied
him from Normandy, and, obtaining vast terrirory in
EnguDid, became tlie progenitor of a powerful Hne of
48 . ' • THE NOR>L\N TEOPLE
peers and cliieftain^, once famous in English history, and
long since forgotten. The titles of that great baronial
house have been extinct for many ages; its estates have
been transferred to other fliinilics ; family after family
of uobihty has lield tliem in succession; they have
passed into possession of the Crown, and have been
granted afrcsli. All the long series of owners have
departed: the Xorman, the Plantagcnet, the Tudor,
the vStuart, tlio Hanoverian dynasties have come to an
end successively. The ruined donjon has outlasted them
all ; and, strange to say, the Xorman tenajitrj^ whose
iancestors once paid suit and homage at that ancient
fortress, are tlicre still. The Avliule vicinity abounds in
purely Norman names. The ancestors of those who bear
those names came from Xormandy, and settled around
the ca-^tle as feudal retainers of its lords at the era of
the Conquest. There the Xorman race still contiimes ;
an independent and manly race of men, not without
traces of the Xorman beauty and the Xorman character.
The wiiter happened for some time to come much into
contact with that race ; and he has found amongst them
men whose humble position was dignified by the higliest-
honour, integrity, and worth. To the best of liis recol-
lection, every second name in that district is Xorman.
Ue had frequently remarked tlie peculiar character of the
surnames there; but greater knowledge than he then
possessed of Xorinan names nov^ enables him to recal
tijc numbo's v.diicli in that district arc still punily
Norjnan.
THE XOIJM.VX PEOPLE • 49
Another circumstance ma)- be mentioned in connection
with the above, ^vllich clearly shows how extensively the
Korman element pervades all classes of English society,
even to the very humblest — liow truly and thoroughly
national it now is. In 1872 a vessel was lying in the
Thames, about to take its departure for Tasmania. It
conveyed as pas-engers 300 navvies, wlio had been
engaged to proceed to the Colonies, to complete an
intended railway. The passengers were all on board,
wlien a fiital colhsiou at niglit sent the vessel and every
lunnau being on board to the bottom.
The list of thj drowned p.i-acugers appeared in the
public journals. It included a large number of purely
Norman names. Several names were there recognised as
formerly baronial and hi.-iurical ; and one baronial
name the writer there discovered, the existence of wliich
in England in the j)re5ent age he had never before
ascertained.
Having now stated the circumstances out of v/hioh
arose the discovery of the Xorman people as now existing
in England, it becomes the oflice of the author to unfold
the principles which have directed him in the present
inquiry, to point out the con\~)bo!ative evidence wliieh

CRITICISM OF lAMlLV IIISTOIJY.
It may be supposed, perliaps, that any revision or re-
exiunination of tl.e existing famil}- liistory of England is
superfluous and ])r«.-umj)tuou.> — that hii'ge classes of facts
"which have be«.-n long accopli-d as authentic, on the
authority of eminent licralds, backed by the testimony of
the families to whicli tlicy relate, ought to be exempt
from criticism. Such an opinion, howt-vcr, can only be
licld wlica- the roal c«.>nditi.»n of the I]ngli.>li pedifn-ees is
not imdoi>toud. ]Ii-torical truth compels the rejection of
nmch that i^ to be found in those documents; and as the
present v.nrk fiequently passes over the older pedigrees,
and jiresenis fuels altogether nev:, il is necessary to
produce evidence to show that such procediiie is war-
ranted by the present state of English family history.
To those who arc aware of the real state of thin<Ts

which they are already familiar : and tliey vrill accordingly

In the prccechng inago^, then, it has boon observed tliat •
Engli-;]] fami]}' history is, as regards its ancient portion,
open to much criticism. Tliis ouglit not to cause surprise
when it is considered that even the general history of the'
nation })resents many points on wliich learned men have
come to diHerent conclusions, and in wliicli long esta-
blished views have been abandoned ; and if even in
questions of historiatl importance much uncertainty is
occasionally found, how vastly greater musl. be tlie
uncerlyiinly v/hieh in many ca.-L'S surrounds questions of
mere family descent ! Th^re are, indeed, cases, such as
the inheritance of kingdoms, where the gi'eat importance
of the subject ensures such an amount of pulihcily aiid
discussion as to rendt-r tlio la:k of iuquhy comparatively
easy, because ii places us in possession at least of the
materials for forming an opinion. But in the c;ise of
family history, taken as a whole, we have no such aids.
A family has to be connected with the ]>ast under every
conceivable diflicuky. Its position may not have been
conspicuous. Its name may have clianged so as scarcely
to be recognisable. Ancient records may know of it
only under a form altogciher strange to us. The transient
mention of it in those records ma)- convey different ideas
to diflerent minds. There is danger of c-ou fusion between
diilerent individuals of the same name.

rai<e any difhcuUy in the miuds of olliers. It seems to
be supposed that heralds and genealogists liavc some
m)-stenoiis and recondite power, v/hich enables them with
comparative ease and certainty to reproduce the history
of famihes ; and tliere have been times when their
recorded statements and pedigrees have been generally
accepted with profound and imphcit fiiith. Pedigrees,
when they have been adopted by families, become the
authentic exposition of their claims. They are transmitted
from generation to gcnerati(j]i with jealous care, and yet
they may be all the time founded on invention. The
compilers of pedigrees were, like others, not exenipt
from error ; and it nmst l.)e added with regret that in
many cases their anxiety to gratity their employers lias
led them to neglect tlic ordinaiy laws of historical
inquiry, and to jmt forth hasty statements, which have
done much to discredit a branch of knowledge which is
capable of affording rc-sults of real value.
With a view to convey some notion of the difficuhies
which the historical inquirer encounters when he attempts
to investigate the origin of English famihes, it may be
desirable to notice some instances of those faults and
defects which continually present tliemselves in the
existing family history, and vrhich eitlier deter many
persons from tlie study, or stand in the way of bond fide
inquiry.
1. Impossibilities. ' • • . '
iiu: Nor.>L\x rroPLE . 53
-. We arc, for example, informed by one of tlie peerages
lliat n.rvcius Waller, fatlier uf Tlieobald^ Walter, Butler
of Ireland, in die reign of Deniy 11., and aneestor of the
Dukes and Marquises of Onnoud, was ' a companion of
the Conqueror,' i.e. that he had in lOGo accompanied
him from Xonnandy. This, no doubt, carries back the
family of Initler to the era of tlic Conquest. But when
we look into the facts of the case wc find that this
Heneius ^\'alter, fatlier of Tiieobald.^ was in the time of
Henry II. a cun.-iderable benefactor to liutley Prioiy,
.^uflblk ; - and this being a centuiy after the Conquest, it
is impossible tliat he could liavc been ' a companion of
the Conquercir : ' while in additiun, as liis son Theobald
Walttr was certainly contemporary with Henry II.,
llerveius Walter was liimself evidently a contemporary
of King Steplien and of the lanpress ^Matilda, grand-
daughter of the Conqueror. It would seem that the
slightest con.->ideration would have })reeluded the possibility
of such a chronological error.
2. Inventions.
Tiie })eerages inform us that ' Adam de Aldithley,'
ancestor of the Karls of Deiby, attended Duke William
to England in lOCO, 'accompanied, from Aldithley in
' The filiati.-n is ascertained by means of clinrters of Theobald Waller,

54 THE noem.\:n peopli-
Normandy,' by ]n< son? ' Lydulpli and Adam do Alditliley,'
and obtained lorge possof^ions by gift of the Conqueror.
Wc liave liere a niinu(enc>s oi^ detail Avliicli wears all the
appearance of authenticity. ' Aldithley ' (tlie origin of the
name Audley) was, it appears, in ' Normandy.' Never-
theless, when we eome to examine whore Alditlilev really
was, it is ascertained, not merely that there is not the
slightest trace of such a place in Normandy (as we might
indeed have anticii)ated fn.-m its Gothic etymology), but
tluit the real Alditliley frum wliich tlie fannly derived its
name of Audley was in Stafibrdshire. A mistake of this
nature, so obvious on tlie >lighte.>t inquiry, forcibly shows
the carelessness of whicli the history of families in England
has been unfortunately the subject.
The same account of the Stanleys, Earls of Derby, is
further instructive. ' Adam de Aldithley ' and his two
sous '].yduli)]i and Aduin de Aldithley,' who are said to
have accompanied the Conqueror, are purely imaginary
personages. There is no trace of their existence in the
records ; nor has any one over attempted to establish
their reality by evidence. They owe their origin to the
ingenious process of making two persons out of one,
assigning the names of one generation to imaginary an-
cestors in another. Amongst other faults this pechgree
invents a Uenry de Stonley or Stanley, a maternal ancestor
(as alleged) of this fanu'ly. Ills imaginary son-in-law
lived in the reign of Ileniy I.,^ >o that he himself mu^t
* The 5ou-iu-lhW wus Adam de .UditbH-; v,ho, accordiu-^ to tuo state-
. - ' THE NOP.>L\N PEOPLE 55
liavc lived in tlial of tlic Conqueror ; and yet not only is
]Jomes(lay silent as to his existence, but Slouley or
Stanley itself does not appear to have existed in lOSG,
for Domesday takes no notice of it. The name of Stanley
appears for tlie fir^t time in llic year 1130/ when it was
borne by Eobeit dc Stanley, Viscount of Stafford.^
Henry de Stonley is a pure myth. Noihing can be more
instructive than this example of the mode of treating
Eiigli.4i pedigree-. If imagination is allowed to exercise
such strange infhiencc even in the case of the most illus-
trious famihcs in England, what must have been the fate
of others of less eminence.
3. Contradiction to fact^.
The history of the Ashburnhams, Earls of Ashburn-
ham, furnishes an instance of the legendary character
of much of the early family history of England, and
of its inconsistency with matter of fact. This pedigree is
one which is usually announced with a conjidence and an
apparent authority which are truly imposing, and which
have doubtless brought conviction to the minds of most
ment, wn-? sou of LvJnlpb, -vvho came from Xumiantly with tbo Conqueror
at the ?.inic time as h'n father Adam. Lydulph wa^ therefove living at tiio
Conquest, and his >on Adam, in the tlm':* of Henry I., and Ileury do Stanley,
the iuui^'iiiary father-in-law of the latter, mu;t have been cont.mporary
with thtj Conqueror. Thi? pei-sonajre appears from the peerage statements
to have beon owner of Stanley and R.dterley, while Domesday shows that
lialtcrley, together with .Vldithley and Talc, belonged in the Conqueror's
reign to Gamel, a native thane (Domesday, Str.Tord, p. 2!il.) Stanley in
Stallbrd is not mentioiied.

renders, as tlicy did to tbat of honest Thomas Fuller, who
was agliiist at llic antiquity of ilie Aslibuniham family.
Aecording to the tale told by the peerages, this fariiily
derives from * Bertram de Ashburnham' (' sou of Anchitel,
sou of Piers, Lord of Ashburnham '), who v\-as ' Sheriff of
Surrey, Sussex, and Kent, and Constable of Dover Castle,'
in tlie reign of King Harold, and who, having bravely
defended Dover Castle against King WiUiam, in 1066,
was thereupon, together with his sons, most cruelly put
to deatli by the infuriated Conqueror. Certainly, after a
result so tragic, the Ashburuhams seem bound in honour to
cherish feelings of hostility to the Norman race. But this
tale, pathetic as it is, is uufortunatel3' of too modern a
date to attain credence as a uKittcr of fact. It rests on
the sole and exclusive authority of Francis Tliyn, a herald
wlio wrote in 15S6, five centuries after the events sup-
posed to have occm-red. There is no trace of this history,
or of those Ashburnliams who are its subjects, in any
earlier document. The entire stor}', therefore, on historical
principles, falls to the ground, as resting on no adequate
authority. But besides this, the narrative and the whole
pedigree founded on it are inconsistent with matter of
fact. The Anglo-Saxon Lord of Ashburnham is mentioned
in Domciday Book. His name was Sewardus, which is
neither that of the pretended Bertram de Ashburnham,
nor of either of his sons; and Domesday further informs
us that after this Anglo-Saxon thane Iiad ceased to be
owner the estate had pa:?.-ed, amongst many other estates,
THE XORT^rAX PEOPLK 57
to the Count of En; and that be had enfeolTed there a
foi-oign kniglit named ."Robert de Cruel.^ I( i\n-t];er appears,
from a series of records, that the descendants of Eohcrt de
Cruel (or Criol) ^^•ere thenceforth lords of Ashburnham,
that for five or six generations they bore the names of Cruel,
Crieul, or Criol, and Ashburnham conjointly, and that
the Earls of Ashburnham are the lineal descendants of this
Norman house,^ which appears to have been a branch of
the Counts of Eu. Sucli is f;:ct as opposed to fiction ; and
such arc the species of statements which have so long
pa^-ed current as the hi-^tory of the English aristocracy. °
•1. Incredibilities.
The family of ]^urke or Burgh (Earls and Marquises
of Clauricarde) furnishes a striking example of the careless
inventions of the compilers of pedigrees and peerages.
According to the received accounts, this family is of im-
perial Carlovingian descent in the male line, and is thus
of more dignified origin than those of Bourbon, Hanover,
S:LXony, Savoy, or Stuart. In fact, no family in Europe could
preteiid to vie in splendour of origin with the Burkes if
this pedigree were well-founded. It unfortunately, how-
ever, labours under this disadvantage— the whole of the
early pedigree on whichsuch vast pretensions are founded
13 only of a century's standing, having appeared for the
first time in an Irish peenige about the middle of tlie
eigJiteentli century. The alleged descent was unknown

to Dugdale, and to all other genealogists of eminence,
prior to the date referred to ; and yet the family of Burgh
had long Ix'on of such Ingli rank and eminence that it
could not fail to attract the attention of genealogical
M-riter>. Tlii^ pedigree does not pretend to produce a
single proof or evidence in its support from any ancient
rec<.)rd or from history. It mentions various lacts vrhicli
are said to have occuried in the tenth, eleventh, and
twelfth centuries, six, seven, and eight hundred years
before its appearance. Of course the whole falls to tlie
ground as unsujiportcd ]>y liislorical evid<jnce.
It is, however, wortli while to dwell for a little on tlie
assertions of the author of this pedigi'ee. William Pitz
Adehn, the real ancestor of the lainil}*, and Chief Governor
of Iieland, lived in the reign of Henry II. His name
sujjplies that of ]\\< father, Adchn. The compiler of the
pedigree \\as not aware who ihis Adelm was, but by a
wave of the magician's wand he was transformed into the
son and heir of the attainted and dis[)osses.-tjd William,
Earl of Cornwall and Mortaine, son of Kobert, the Con-
queror's half-brother, and consequently nephew of that
sovereign. The compiler of this pedigree was probably
luiconscious that Dugdale, Anselm, and everyone else who
had examined tlie subject, were unable to discover that
Earl William ever married or left any posterity; nor did
it occur to him that neither Adehn nor William Fitz Adelm
his >on ever claimed an}- re-toration of the Earldon^s of
Cornwall and Mortaine, and tliat history is entirely silent
as to' the existence of any claimant whatever.

Burgh,* and givt-s him a ilither, ' Joliii Jc Burgh, Earl of

happens that Herluiu's father and ancestry are entirely
unkiK.nvn to history ; and John, Earl of Tonsburgh, is an
indi\icliial of whose existence there is not the slightest
trace except in this pedigree. Had he been a reality he
could not have failed to be mentioned at an era when
the house of Charlemagne was still claiming the throne of
France in opposin'on to the family of Hugh Capet; nor
could the name of so illustrious a ])ersonage, and the fother
of Heriuin de Contcvillc, have escaped notice, as it has
done, in the pages of Ordericus Yitalis. The real descent
of the Burghs, though not imperial, is (if the writer be
correct in his view) one of considerable interest, and
connecls them witli some of the names most eminent in
the history of England. It is to be regretted that in the
case of so eminent a house due inquiry has been super-
seded by ill-considered guess, and actual fabrication.^
5. Incoasistcncy with historv.
Tlie descent of the family of Cliflbrd, so conspicuous in
English history, is traced witli certainty to liichard Fitz
Ponce, who lived in the reign of the Conqueror ;' but
peerage ^\Titers, unsatisfied with this ancestry, have exerted
their ingenuity to make the pedigree terminate in a more

Criticism here interposes the inconvenient question,
How do we kn.nv tliat Ponce tlie fit her of Pichard was the

reply except the sta(emenl of the peerage— no otlier
authority in support of that statement is vouchsafed ; nor
is there any evidence that William E:irl of Arques ever
came to England, or that he left any sons. What we do
know is this—that he rebelled agahist Duke William and
endeavoured to detlirone him— that he was compelled to
ily from Xormandy— that lie spent the rest of his life
supported by tlie bounty of the Count of Boulogne— and
that King William on his death-bed spoke with^'angcr of
liis ho>tile conduct. These are matters which are known
to all students of thf Xorman histoiians, and especially of
Ordericus Vitalis ; and how, in the face of these well-known
facts, it can be imagined that William of iVrques and his

indeed seem strange. There wa. a AVilliam of Arques

cited from Collms's accouut of tlic family of Jlotham (Lords
Ilotham), which was writteu, accordiug to his statement,
in rehauce ou'our genealogists '—a discreet reference,
whicli commits no one in particular. According to the
story, Sir Jolm de Trehcuse was ' Lord of Xilkoimy ' in
L-elaud before the Conquest ; and, in reward of brilhant
services at Hastings, obtained from the king Hotham in
Yorkshire, and other estates in England. From him de-
scended the family of De Treliouso, wliieh in the reign of
Henry U. or later assumed the name of Uotham. Xo
authority is cited in support of this tale. Its autlior had
not tlie least diiliculty in placing an Englisli or foreign
knight in possession of teiritorics in a part of L'eland wliich
was then entirely occupied by the native Celtic population.
He seems to have entertained very vague impressions as
to the date of the English conquest of Ireland, wliich he
probably a.-igned to the ninth or tenth century, and had
consequently as httle difficulty in seating an Enghsh lord
at Kilkenny in the elevcntli as in the thirteenth century.
It IS needless to add that a circumstance so incredible
ought to have been supported by the strongest evidence in
order to obtain credence ; but tliere is no evidence what-
ever. Yet, when statements of this nature, so precise and
dcGuite, are advanced, it is veiy difficult to disbelieve
them ; and nothing l)ut long experience of the utter
recklessness with which statements of this kind have been
put forward would enable one to set them aside as unsup-
ported by evidence.

7. Mistranslations. '- .-' ;• S ': ' i:
Thc popular view of tiio origin of tlie family of Fitz-
Gerald, Duke of Leinster, is supported only by a iniscou-
ceplion of the meaning of tlie word 'antecessor' in
Dornesda}- Book. "We are informed by the peerages that
Other (whose name they change into ' Otho '), the father
of Walter Fitz Other, Ca.-tellau of Windsor,^ and ancestor
of tlie Fitz-Geralds, wa^ a baron of England in the reign
of Fdward the Confessor, and was the owner of all the
estates ^'v•hicll, in lOSG, were in possession of his son
Walter Fitz-Other. On examining Domesday Book it
appears that the estates thus held by Walter, had, in the
reign of the Confessor, Itelonged to several difTereut pro-
prietors, whose names are recorded. Tlije nanie of Other
does not occiu' amongst them. The only ground for the
assertion to the contraiy is that deneteberie, one of tliese
estates, had been held on certain conditions by the 'ante-
cessor' of Walter. This term is rendered ' ancestor,' and
it is at once inferred that Otlier, fatlier of Walter, must

8. Unsupported statements. "' '
We have a remarkable instance of tlie credence
attained by unsupported statements of the elder heralds
in the case of the house of Percy, Earls and Dukes of
Nortli umber] and. Tlie v/liole early pedigree of this
historical family depends upon tlie unauthenticated state-
ment of a herald of considerable eminence in the reign of
Elizabeth, named Glover. lie was a man of attainments,
and of great industry, and in general his statements are
deserving of credit. But in this particular case, whether
it was that the temptation of gratifH'ing the ancestral
aspirations of so powerfid a family as that of Northumber-
land overcame Lis usual discretion, or whether he may
liave derived his information from some foreign and
untrustworthy source, it were impossible now to determine.
Suffice it to say, that he derives this family from Mairifred
de Perc}-, a Dani-h chief, who is said to have lived before
the time of Eollo, and whose descendants, named alter-
nately GeofTry and Wilhani de Percy, continued in succes-
sion Lords of Percy, until the ^ last Wilham de Percy of
Normandy went to England, temp. AVilliam I., and founded
the English house of Percy. On exaurining this state-
ment, the first difficulty which causes hesitation is the
alternate repetition of the names of Geoffiiy and Wilham,
which was iucuu^i.-itent wiili the usual system of nomen-

clatiirc in tiiosc ages ; but wliat presents a far more
serious difficult y is tliis. Percy did not belong to any
private family, but was part of the ducal demesne ;^
consequently it is difficult to suppose that tlie name of
De Percy could have existed, as the estate did not belong
to a private family, and, in point of fact, the name is not
mentioned in any recoi'd till shortly before the English
Conquest, and, it liad probably been assumed not long
previously, for in 1026 the estate of Percy was still part
of the demesne of the Duke.- We are, therefore, oblifred
to come to the conclusion that the vrhole early, pedigree
produced bj" Glover must be rejected.^
'J'hese few examples of the difficulties which are to be
found in the pedigrees of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and
eighteenth centuries will suffice to indicate the necessity,
in the interest of truth, of examining carefully the state-
ments of the genealogists of former times before they are
adopted as reliable. • ■ ■• .. "
The state of the English pedigrees generally, indeed,
appears to be such as to deinand a careful re-examination
with the additional light thrown on such topics by the
intelligent criticism of the present centurj-, and the greatly
increased knovrledire of the sources of mediaeval historv. ♦

COXSTRUCTIVE rilL\-CirLES OF THE PEESEXT WOJIK.
It no^^' becomes necessary to ofler some explanation of
the principles wliioli liave been lielJ in vie^v' in tlie com-
pilation of the following series of above seven thousai]d
five Jiunared names of existing Xonnan families, traceable
in the London Directory. It has been already observed
that these names are borne by tlie commercial and trading
classes. In a few cases it lias been found necessary to add
some from the peerage, which do not occur amongst those
of the commercial classes of London.
From what has been previously stated, it will be un-
derstood that the alphabetical series in question, whiyb
forms the great mass of this work, consists of names of
two classes.
First, those names and famihes whose origin has been
traced through successive generations in tlie ordinary
way, by records of all descnptious. These represent the
earlier stages of the inquiry, and are to' a considerable
extent additions to, or corrections of, existing iamily
histor}'. They are presented in the most condensed form
%sdth a view to economise space, and they coniprise, con-
^P
GC THE NOT^}.JA^■ teople
seqiiGiitly, a very small portion of what miglit in cacli
. case liave been <aid on tlieir respective subjects. It is
very possible tliat tliis condensation mny iiave rendered
tlio force of tlie argument in some ca=es less perceptible.
It is hoped, however, tliat, brief as these pedigrees may
be, they ^vill afford suggestions as to tlie true hue of re-
searcli, wliicli ]nay faeihtate the inquiries of others.
Amongst tliem will be found notices of tlie origin of some
of those names wJiich the Vv'hole world combines to
honour.
Secondly, the great mas- of tlie names in the follo\\'ing
. alphabetical series are those which have been identified
without an}' attempt to trace the lineal descent of families.
These names, which are probably unnoticed in other
works as Norman, represent the later stage of the inquiry.
The names of this class which occur in the London
Directory have been identified as Xorman by the fiict of
their occiu'renee in the records of Xormandy of the
twelfth and eleventh centuries. Li most cases the
reference is to the great Eulls of the Exchequer of Xcr-
mandy. 1180-1200. Their occurrence in England at an
early date is shown by references to the English records
of the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth centui'ies, espe-
^ cially to those of the Curia liegls from 119-4 to 1200,
to the Tma dc Xei'iUe, 1200-1320, and to the Fcotuli
Ilundredoruiit. c. 1272. Occasionally there are references
to records of la! er date. Tlie inference in each case is
that the name, as appcanng at an early period both in
.'. - THE .N-0K3IAN PEOPLE • 67
Normaudy and Englaud, was originally Xorinan, and
passed into England at the Conquest.
It may be objected tliat such an inference is not sound,
because the name in que-tion may have originated simul-
taneously in both countries, being of Norman origin in
Normandy, and of Saxon origin in England. It i? not
2:)retended that pru'ticular instances of this kind may not
have occurred ; but as a whole the objection is not appli-
cable to these names, tur the great mass of them are not
of native but of foreign type. It is the concurrent testi-
mony furnished by so many thousands of instances which
will Iji'ing conviction to the reader's mind. Assuredly
the legal maxim, IdcnUtas coUi'jitur ex mxdtitudine
Shjnorum, may well be applied to this case. Nor can the
objection above referred to have any weight against tlie
broad facts of the case, as may be illustrated by an example
in point.
Wlien we examine in detail the surnames of the Ame-
rican people, they arc found to be throughout Enghsh.
Abnost every name we meet ^ is evidently and unmistak-
ably English. It may occm' imder various forms —
corresponding varieties of form occur in this country — ])ut
it is decidedly Englisli ; it cannot be confounded with the,^
surnames of other nationalities. Moreover, the people

68 THE NOPvMAN PEOPLE
vrho bear tlicsc naiiic^ speak tlie English language, aud
theii' jiuisprudence is based on the Common Law of
England, and their institutions bear evidences throughout
of an Eijgliili origin. Now, even if the pages of history
were closed, could there be a shadov^ of doul.Jt that, as a
whole, these names and the families that bear them ori-
ginall}'- came from England? It makes no difference
whether tliose families can or cannot trace the line of
their ancestors to the hrst wlio lauded fi-oin Enghmd on
the American shores. They are clearly and unmistakably
identified as Eughsh ; and Instoiy comes in at this point
and tells us that the earher inhabitants of America
actually did come from England, and archa2ology adds
that these names which we now fnid hi America were
known in England for ages before the foundation of
the English colonies — tliat they appear in the whole series
of English recoids. Mutatis mutandis, we are entitled
equally to infer tlie Xcjrman origin of tlie Norman names
which appear in the ol 1 English records. The families
which bear them are, as a general rule, unable to trace
their descent ; and perhaps have not tlie remotest con-
ception that their names were Norman ; but they are not
the less distinctly identified by those hereditar}^ surnames ;
memorials of race which can nevt-r be obliterated.
But it must here be observed tliat, in order to connect
surnames as at ])resei]t existing v/ith their prototypes, it is
essentitil to call in the aid of experience, grounded on
acquaintance willi the same claj^^es of facts whicli nresent
Tiir. xoKMAN p]:orLE ":• 69
themselves in philology. Surnames, it must be remem-
bered, are merely, parts of general language, and they are
consequently subject to all those influences which aiTcct
language it>elf so n\atcrial]y, and wliieh issue in the
cjealion of new dialects. Siu-names, like otlier terms, are
liable to dialectical variation, and to changes of every
doscriptio!!. All alike, from tlie nioment of their forma-
tion, are subject to continued alteration. Their vowels
gradually chfinge from broad to slender, and the reverse.
Their consonants become replaced by other consonants.
Sometimes prommciation abbreviates them, at others it
reverses the process, and add< letters, or even syllables.
Alterations of tliis description can be traced to the
remotest historical epochs. The tribes which first made
their ai)pearance within historical times bore names which
assumed difllrent forms ; and in the early mediieval
lii-tory of Europe, before licreditary surnames came into
use, so great w(;re the variations in the orthography of
mimes, as we find them recorded in contemporary
chronick's and charters, that it involves con.-ideral)le
experience and industiy to identify the persons who bore
them. The same may be said of the names of localities.
They have changed on the Continent and in England to
such a degree that the student needs a glossary to enable
him to connect the old denominations of localities with
the present foinis of the same nances. It is true that when
the Oiiginal has been pointed out there is little difficulty
in understanding the process of tdteration which has ])ro-
70 • TIIL XOKMAX PEOPLE
tliiccd tlie moderu form ; but in ihc absence of such a
key the inquirer mny altogether fail to recognise names
in their original shape.
The trutli of this is known to everyone wlio has
attempted to find in Domoiday i3ook the names of tlie
present Eughsli locahties. Brittoii, for instance, one of
tlic most indu-trious of our topograj)hers, attempted hi
his account of Devonshire to ascertain the modern names
of the manors of that county which are mentioned in
Domesday Book. In a considerable number of cases he
entirely failed, in others lie produced in-»taDces of exten-
sive alteration — such, for instance, as ' Shirwell" in^tead
of the old form ' Aiscirewcll ;' 'Axminster' instead of
' Alseministre : ' ' Brixton ' instead of ' Bretricestane ;'
'Dawlisir instead of ' I.Joelis,' v\:c.' In tlie same way
CoUius, in his Peerage, identifies the local name ' Tufton '
as having been originally ' Tokeion ;' • Onslow ' as
^Audislaw,' ' "Wyndham ' 05 ' Wiraondham.'
Alterations of tins descrij)tion are strictly analogous
to those whicli in the course of ages have converted
Latin into French, and Danish and traxon into EnglL-h ;
and which have constituted, and are still forming, new-
dialects and new languagc-s. Xanios have the same
tendency to abbreviation which has divest'jd nouns and
verbs of tiieir gj-amm-.itiad inllexions, and has continually
removed from terms all their peculiar -.Mid >ahent points.

tution ^vllic•]^ is .^o familiar to the philologist, aud under
wliich Caballus has become Chcval- liber lias been con-
vcrfcd miolivrc; i nf am mio enfant; Salvator into Sauveur.
Subjected to these influences, Xormau jiames long
since became as it were hieroglyphics, the key to whose
meaning had been lost. They served to distingiiish
families, but ihey revealed nothing as to their origin. Yet,,
when these names are >tudied v.-ith tlic aid of the new
hghts which philology has disclosed, they fiQ-nish conclu-
sive evidence of the ultimate nationality of the families to
which they belong. The progenitors of these families
have for centuries borne these names vdthout any con-
sciousness of theii' origin, or any notion that they were
transmitting to their posterity a record of their descent
wliich was destined to be at length interpreted.
Ill pur.-<uing the process of identification of names,
and ju removing (he accumulated deteriorations, corrup-
tions, or alterations of ages, and restoring names to their
earliest forms mo>t im])ortant aid has been derived from
the indei^endciil and most satisfactory testimony supplied
by examination of the evidence furnished by armorial
bearings. This brancli of archaeology was formerly of
considerably grt-ater importance tlian it now is, and the
use of arms was guarded with a jealousy unknown in
later times. The monuments of the ancient armorial
are numerous and aullientic. They consist of engraved
seals and stone monuments of the twelfth century, and
of manuscript jvcoi'ds of the thirteenth and subsequent
72 TITE XOIIMAN TEOPLE
centuries and are kno^\Ti to all archreologists. Tliis
ancient armorial of England, v/itli the addition of arms
granted or recorded in modern times, ]ia--< been published
by various writers, and amongst others by Ilobson, vdiosc
work, entitled ' Tlie British Ilerald,' has been employed
in the compilation of the present work.
Xow tlie fact appears to luwe been liitherto insuffi-
ciently recognised — but its importance is obvious — that
in numerous instances families have preserved their
armorial under all the changes which their names have
undergone in tlie cour.^e of ages; and hence a means
presents itself of identifying names and fomilies which
would not at first siglit be supposed to be in any way
connected. An instance or two may illustrate what is
meant.
The name ' Fidlcr ' presented itself for examination.
It might be supj-josed tliat this name was merely that of
an humble occupation. These veiy easy and simple
identifications are seldom to be tnisted ; disparaging or
.contemptuous names are very ordinarily the modern
coiTuptions of the old names ; and many are the noble
Norman names which in the course of time have assiuned
vulgar and ludicrous forms. Tlic vrriter, on examination,
was of opinion that the name ' Fidler ' v.-as merely a form
of tlie name ' Fidelow,' produced by one of the ordinary
laws of corruption. On referring to Eobson, it was found
tliat tlie arms of ' Fidelow ' were three wolves' heads.
Afterwards it was a:^:Jertail!ed tliat ' Videlow ' bore the
Tin: Nor:>rAX teopi.e . 73
same anus. It next appeared tliat ' Vis-de-low' bore the
same tlirec wolves' Jieads ; and thus it was at lengtli
ascertained that Fidler, Fidelow, Videlow, and Yis-de-low
were one and the same name, the earlier form of which
was De Visdclu, or Vis-de-loup, probably from a place
so named in Xormandy, and to which the wolves' heads
of the arms bore allusion.
Another instance of the utility of the comparison of
armonal is aflbrded by the name of Toler. The writer
for a long time could not discover the origin of this name
or f.mily. He formed several theories, all of winch he
was eventually obliged to reliuqui.^h. At length no clue
remained except the arms. Those arms con^sisted of a
cross fleury, surmounted by another cross, between four
leaves erect. The^e arms were at first presumed to be of
no great antiquity, as in their ar-tual shape they do not
present the simplicity whicli is characteristic of the ancient
armorial. It ajjpeared, liowever, on further inquiiy, that
the leavL-s ha.l not originally been included in the arms,
for Himilies of ' Toller ' and ' Towlers ' were ascertained to
have borne the same arms without any leaves, so that it
was clear that the leaves ^\ ere merely the emblem, of a par-
ticular branch of the family. The inqm'ry was continued
with the ai<l of this armorial, and the fomily was traced
in difl'erent i)arts of England, in former ages, under a ]iame
continually varying iji form— sometimes Towlers, then
Tolers, then Towlowes, Tov.lons, Tolouse, until at length
it appeared clcaily that tlie latter form, which wascoc^^
o
ral

with the. Conquest, Avas the onginal. This pointed to
Toulouse in France as tlie place from whicli the fomily liad
origiiiall}' come ; and desirous to ascertain -\vliether an)-
trace could be found of a fnnijy named from a city so
large as Toulouse (of whicli there seemed very little
hope), the author directed his attention to works con-
taining information as to the early hislory of that city,
lie turned to Ansclme's great work on the peers and
nol>lcs of France, in the hn])Oiof hnding under h.is account
of the Sovereign Counts of Toulouse some reierences to
works whicli might enal»le him to piusuc tlie inquiry.
The volume was accordingly opened which contains the
histoiy of the Counts of Toulouse, when, to his extreme
astonishment, the author recogni^-xl the arais of the
English Tolers and Towlers at the liead of the history
of that great house! Their arm^ w^rc the hereditary
emblems of that almost kingly race- In all its branches
the well-known 'Cross of Toulouse,' l>eing u cross fleury
voided (i.e. in skeleton), which Fnglisli heralds had
described as a cross fleury surmounted by another cross.
Of course all these various fi\milie.s of Tolei', Toller, and
others, bearing the Cross of Toulouse, were identified as
one in origin, a'ld as, no doubt, d-jscendants of t!ie
})nncely house v.-hosc liame and arms they have borne
from the eleventh century.
The circumstance that an exi-ting family bears a name
which may, willi the aid <A' philological tion-ideiations
be identified with one borne by some ancient Xormau
THE KORMaN ITOPLE 75
house, a]id also bears the arms which are attributed to
that hoiii^e, might possibl}- be considered a mere coiuci-
deiice ; l)iit th.e occurrence of siicli circmn^tances in
huoch'eds of ca-es is ahogether inconsistent with the
notion of casual coincidence, and tlie evidence of consan-
guinity becomes morally certain. So too, when philology
tells us tlint several families bear riarnes which are
cognate forms of a single name, and when it also appears
that they all bear the same arms, tlieir consanguinity is
well estabhshed.
It is of importance, in order to remove any further
difficulty from the question of identification, to classily
the Xorm.an and English names, with a view tc) trace the
character of the alterations which have brought them to
their present form. I3y so doing we shall be enabled to
trace througli large classes of names tlie influences which
have removed, clianged, or added initial letters ; which
have altered terminations ; whicli have introduced con-
sonants and omitted tliem ; which have transmuted
consonants and vowels ; have altered aspirates ; and
generally haxc changed, Anglicised, and abbreviated
names of foreign origin. Let it not be understood that
these changes are alvrays considerable in amount. It will
be found in the alphabetical series of names that nume-
rous Xoririan names a)"e still very accm'ately preserved —
that otliers are very slightly changed — that others inay

These instances may sufiice to indicate some of the
changes ^YlHch have passed over Englisli names in the
course of the last eight centuries, and some of the rules
of alteration in which they huve originated. They will
at the same time convey some notion of the difficulties
experienced by those who attenipt to trace names nov7
existing to their sources and original forms. It is
impossible to say at once in what direction a given name
may have been altered ; and it is only by close attention
that serious mistakes can be avoided. It may be further
explained that each of the ancient names appears in tlie
present day, not merely under one form of alteratioi],
but under SL;veral dilTerent lonns more or less chanr^cd

from tlie origiwa]. Sometiirics tliese forms iu the case of
a binglc name are numerous ; but cacli of tliem now con-
stitutes a distinct surname — a unit in tlie -^vLole mass of
English surnames — and re}U'osenLS on the average per-
haps 80 familic-, or 400 individuals. These forms are
fi'equently of great antiquity. They have been handed
down from age.-^ when orthography was in a very
imsettled state, vrhen names were frequently spelt
phonetically — when the knowledge of writing was not
possessed even by persons of high rank.
In the fnlloAving alphabetical series great numbers of
names will be found which are referred to other namc^
as their cognates or their prototypes. In most cases it
is trusted that the propriety of the reference will commend
itself to the reader; but in cases which are less clear the
author can only refer to the examples of similar changes
contained in the present chapter, for it woidd eddently
be an impossii^ility for him iu so many cases to state the
reasons which have led to his reference of each name to
its cognate or prototype. ]\Ii'. Lower's \aduable book,
the Patronymica Britamiica, affords numerous examples
of identifications which present the sanie features as those
which vrill be found in these pages.
One or t'vv'o remarks p/iust here be offered in frnther
explanation.
The author has omitted several liundreds of name3
"svhich are apparently or evidently foreign, because he
lias been unable to identify them in tlie Norman records.

Tlioso iianic? are ancient in England. In all probability
tliey came from parts of the Continent external to
. Normandy at the Conquest, but there is at present no
means of proving that they did so, because the records of
■ France and the Low Countries liavc not been as yet
publislied (if indeed tliey exist) on the same extensive
scale as those of Normandy and England. Had we
the same materials for comparison v.-ith the early names
in Bretcagjic, Flanders, Maine, and Poitou, a^ v^'o have in
regard to Normandy, the hst of foreign ilimilies whieh is
to follow would have no doubt l»een augnienled. As it
• is, the author has omitted hundreds of such names, which
he behevcs (o be foreign and as old a- tlie C'.'nqut'st, and
Las merely introduced a few specimens lierc and there
to illustrate his meaning.
The author is also con.^cious that lh<'re arc many
names which ought to have been here inserted, but wliicli
have been inadvertently passed over. He lias so often
discovered instances of such accidental oversights that lie
is cominced there have been many more.
These facts should be borne in mind if it be in any
: cases supposed that the actual identification of a family as
Norman is not satisfactory. It is the persuasion of tlie
writer that he has vmderstated the amount of tlie Norman
7\^ or early foreign element, rather than overstated it.

It scorns to be received as a species of axiom by ma:iy
persons tliat the Norman race has long since perished in
}']ngland ; (md the continual use of the term ' Anglo-
Saxon,' as synonymous ^vith 'English,' is a sign of the
prevalence of this vie^v. Yet ^Yriters have seldom
attempted to establish the alleged fact by any evidence, —
and seem to have relied upon mere popular opinion as
a snflicient groun.d-vrork for belief. A recent historian,
hovrever, lias abandoned this system of reticence, and has
endeavoured to explain the alleged extinction of the
Xormar.s by showing that f-'om seven to ten thousand
would Y>robably be a large estimate of the numerical
force of the Xorman settlers.^ Xor is this all. He
proceeds further to allege reasons which render tiie
subsequent extmction of the race a matter of moral
necessity — demcmded by retributive justice. 'As the
NoiTnans were fevr in number,' observes this writer,
'they were also, like every military aristocracy,
especially liable to deca3^ The curse that follows

blooclslied and Dioucy-getting foUovred them inexorably,
and their sons perished in rebellions or made childless
marriages for inheritances.'^ Such an instance of retribu-
tion, Avcre it supported by fact, ^YOuld, no doubt, he very
edifying ; but the difUculiy Vvdn'ch suggests itself is Ihi^-.
Eelribution in this sense appears in England to have been
singularly one-sided, for it spared the Danes and the
Anglo-Saxons, whose ferocity and sanguinary propensities
stand in strong contrast to the conduct of the Normans.
The Kormaus did not burn churches, monasteries, and
cities, and plunder and murder a defenceless people, as the
Danes had done. Still less did they, like ihc Anglo-
Saxons, extirpate an entire notioji by the edge of ihc
sword, and take possession of its goods and lands. The
Normans permitted the ma«s of the earlier population, to
remain; they even allotied to them no iiicoiisiderable
portion of llie soil of England as owners ; and tliey freely
permitted them to occupy perhaps the greater portion of
it as tenants and cottiers. Why, then, are the Normans
supposed to have been victims of Divine vengeance, while
the far more guilty Danes and Saxons are supposed to
liave escaped ? Such theories as tliese only tend to shov/
the influence whicii pre<:onceived notions are capable of
exerting on tlie strongest minds.
'We must here consider the cardinal error on which the
entire theory of the extinction of the Normans de])ends.
That radical and fundamental error consists in assuming

that the Normans wlio settled iu England at tlie Conquest
were not a nation but an aristocracy. Doubtless, if v/e
should assume that the population of England at the
present moment is made up entirely of the Peers of the
Picalm, astonishing conclusior.s might be drawn. But let
us consider the question in a common-sense point of view.
It is impossible to suppose tliat tlie vast armies of Danes
or Normans who overran England and France in the ninth
century were composed exclusiwly of nobles and princes.
It is obvious that tlie numbers of tlie latter must have
been small, aisd that the masses of the^e armies consisted
of private soldiers. The thirty or forty thousand North-
men v/lio in A.r>. 8SC besieged Paris, must have consisted
of common soldiers as well as captains and generals.
The Norman army which was subsequently led by EoUo
was so strong that it proved to be more tl-an a match for
the united forces of France, and could endrtre tlie loss of
nearly seven thousand men slain iu one battle^ v.-ithout
any apparent diminution of strength, for not long after-
wards it dictated the terms of peace, and under them took
possession of a great part of Neustria. Undoubtedly, this
great army of Normans was not exclusively composed of
nobles. It was an important section of the Scandinavian
nation, and, hke it, consisted of chiefs and of tiieir followers.
This army vras continually recruited and reinforced by
fresh migrations of Scandinavians from Denmark and the
Nortli, and Neusitia or Normandy became tlie abode of

Tlic Kormau population, thus numbeiiug perhaps a

that three thousand families appear to have become seated
iu England at tlie Conquest : but many of these were not
purely Korman, but came from adjoining provinces. The
Xorman aristocracy may have numbered 2,500 fomilies,
of wliicli 1,500 were seigneurs and lesser barons, and fifty
greater barons ; the nobihty and gentry, in short, bore
pretty much the same proportion to the population of the
Duch}' as tlic corresponding classes do to the masses of
the Erjghsh population at this moment. Such v/as the
position of society in Normandy before the Conquest.
The great masses of the Xormans were tenants of the
nobihty and gentry, and copyholders, free tenants, re-
tainers, farmers, artizans, tradesmen, mariners, bm-gesses,
and merchants.
The Norman state was so ably administered, and v/as
inliabited by a race of such vitahty and energy, that it
became developed with extraordinary rapidity. In the
course of a hundred and fifty years its population had
expanded so greatly tliat it vras no longer sufficient to
maintain such multitudes. It had become necessaiy to
fmd outlets in Apulia and Spain for the teeming mihtary
population of Neustria ; but these outlets were altogether
insufficient, and the masses of Normans, pent up within a
uarrov; territory (only one-quarter of the size of Englaiid),
which derived its rank frora high ancestral sources and from the possession
of feudal domain;, and the lator noblesse of France, -svhich sprang by scores
of thousands from the puichase of petty ofiices in the Pioyal household. It
was computed at tho French revolution that of the 100,000 families of
French noblesse, only 4,000 v^ere of old standing. Tho rebt had recently

threatened to overflo\Y tlieir frontiers or to perish from
■want of sustenance. Sir Francis Palgrave h.as thus por-
trayed tlie condition of Norrnandy before the English
Conquest :
*As in fi'ozen Iceland, so iji fertile Neustria, the land
eveiyAvliere was unable to house lier children. Normandy
Avas over^owinp•^vit]l the unemployed, increasing — accord-
ing to the foiT.uiia which h.as l,>ecome technical in the
science of political economy — beyond the means of sub-
sistence. Large f miilics gathered around the hearth, for
vrhose keep the father could not provide. The land was
cut up into quillets; not a mefe home, a feeding-farm, as
it "was called in old English, to be had upon which a man
and his family could live — universal unease therefore
prevailing.'^
It had become a matter of imperative necessity for
Kormandy to find some new outlet for its excessive popu-
lation. That population was probably twice as dense as
the population of England at the same epoch, for in
England there is no t]-ace of over-population : the in-
habitants were sparsely settled over the face of the
country, and enormous forests occupied the greater part
of the soil. The fertile plains of Xormandy, however,
were assiduously cultivated by a superabundant people.
The outlet so necessaiy for Xormandy was found in
the conquest of England ; and thither accordingly rushed,
in ojie vast tide of emigration, gentle and simple, baron

and foiiclal tenant. The lord and the knight migrated
to acquire great feudal domains ; the peasant and tlie
peasant's son came to obtain ucvr copyholds and forms,
and the means of living, ^Yhich had been denied to tliem
at home; the tradesman and merchant came to fmd new
markets for their goods, and to introduce new f^ishions
and new wares in exchange for Saxon commodities. The
natives of England were at first anxious to be Norman ;
they became clean-shaven and assumed an aii^of Mormau
civilisation ; their garments no longer trailed upon the
ground ; tlic Norman tailor and cloth-merchant supi-)]ied
the native ^\'itli a jaunty cloak of th.e proper degree of
brevity. On all sides were Norman gentlemen who set the
fashion, and Norman farmers, soldiers, huntsmen, trades-
me)-i, who laughed at everytliing else. The native was sub-
dued, not only by the Norman's arms, but by his jests ;
but between jest and earnest he, before long, lost his
temper and became sullen, indignant, and revengeful.
The position of a Norman proprietor was, from the
first, no bed of roses. He ^vas surrounded by a native
tenantiy and population which was willing (if the oppor-
tunity had been allbrded) to rend him limb from limb, and
to assassinate his vrife and family. He had to attend
the call of his feudal superior with a body of disciphned
soldiers/ and that call might occur at any moment ; lie
» Tho usual retinue of the Xorman knight consi.^ied of one or two men-
at-arms, clad iu fuU armour, and several archers. The whole force, includ-
ing the kui-ht himself, consisted of sis men at least. When, therefore, we

could not trust liis tenantry or the oilier natives. If
armed they would have taken his life. What, then, was
the remedy .P There was but one— the settlement of a
body of Xorman retainers on his estate.
If there be any point in English history on wliich all
liistorians concur it is the extrenne and bitter enmity
with which the native i-aces of England regarded the
Normans in the time of William tlie Conqueror. That
fact demonstrates at once the neces^ity wjjich was incum-
bent on Norman proprietoi-s to surround tliemselves by
foreign-military tenant^., and the certainty that the king
himself, on pohtical and mOitary grounds, and looking
even to the safety of his tlu'one, nuu^t have encouraoed
that policy to the utmost of his power. The king and
the nobles then in England were as nmch urged by the
necessities of their case to encourage Norman immigration
on a large scale, as the Normans themselves were obhgcd
by the wants of an enormous population to avail them-
selves of it. Moreover, the restless spirit of adventure,
so pecuhar to the Norman character, impelled the natives
to enter on new fields, just as it drives the English race
at this moment to embark in new enterprises and to ietth
in new countries.
Erxgland, then, was settled by all classes of Normans,
high and lov/, and not merely l)y an aristocracy. The

aristocracy imdoubteclly did migrate to England, and so
completely that ultimately the vrliole Nonnan nobility
becaoje Engli.^li, and very few relics of it remained to
later times in Xormandy itself. But that aristocracy
must have l)eeu driven into the sea by the native English,
if it had not been supported by a jN^orman commonalty
well able to keep the native English in due order and
submission.
History and legal records rarely accord to the masses
more than a transient allusion; they are entirely con-
versant with the actions of the few great men wliose lives,
actions, and possessions are desciibed. The people are
too inultitudinous and too obscure to merit notice ; hence,
of course, in the History of England, the history of the
Normans is the history of kings and barons, and those
who look on the surfoce of history see Xormans only in
the chai actor of barons. Even in the records the barons
and other great landed proprietors are those who chiefly
appear. Those records owe their origin to the action of
the Crown, which directed inquiries from time to time
to be made with a view to ascertain the possessions
and feudal services of its great tenants, or to proceedino-s
in the comls of hnv, ^vhich generally .arose out of disputes
amongst the landed avistocracy, so that the early records
do not relate to the middle classes, except to a, hmited
extent, but to the aristocracy. And it is not till the
thirteeiitli century that we hud, for the first time, di^tin.ct
and detailed notices of the state of the non-aristocratic

classes, although many of their names are mentioned long-
before in various ways, particularly in the ecclesiastical
records.
Tliere are \mters of eminence vrho maintain that the
Kormans died out in a century after the Conquest.^ The
records are in open opposition to such a notion. From
the era of the Conquest the monastic charters (in tlie
Monasticon Anglicanum) present a vast and unbroken
scries of evidence relating to the continuance and increase
of the Norman race in England. "\Ye see them, venera-
tion after generation, in \\\q presence of their numerous
families and friends, conferring grants for religious uses.
Thousands of fomilies appear in their successive genera-
tions.
A centiu-y after the Conquest an account vras taken
by royal conmiand of the landed ari-tocracy of England,
above 3,000 in number. (It is preserved in the Liber
Niger.) Three hundi'ed and t^venty-one were barons
bearing purely Xorman names, except in about twenty-
six cases, in which, however, the flimihes can almost
all be proved iSTorman. Of the mesne lords or kniglits,
1,600 bore directly Xorman surnames, 850 bore patro-
njmiics also Xorman, and 400 or 500 bore Enghsli local
names without any indicationi; of Anglo-Saxon descent.
Scarcely a trace is to ])e found throughout the whole list
■of any Christian name tliat is not foreign, or of anylliing
indicating Anglo-Sixon origin. The ' Proceedings of the

As we advance, the 'Parliamentary^ vrrits' prove tlie
existence of these names and families in thousands upon
thousands, up to the reign of Edward III. They appear
again in the lists of gentry of the dale of Henry YL,
preserved by Fuller; they still appear in the 'State
Papers ' of the time of Ilemy VIIL, as published officially.
Tlicy are found in quantities in the ' Chancery Proceedings
of the reign of Elizabeth,' and they still appear in
thoiLsauds at this hour in England. What are we then
to say of the imaginary extinction of the Normans? A '*
more imsubstautial vision never passed before tlie mental
eye. It is difficult to understand hovr any one can hold '
such a doctrine, except through want of accpaaintance
^^ith. the connected testimony of the national records.
Tlie historian is here, however, at a disadvantage, com-
})arcd with the diplomatist, the archceologist, and the \
genealogist. Ho studies general history in chronicles,'
treatises, and correspondence, and he can speak authori-
tatively on his proper subject; but he has no leisure to
examine genealogies, lists of knights' fees, Parliameutary
writs, and monastic chartularies; hence he is ]iahle to
overlook focts regarding the population which are per-
cepti])le to humbler classes of students.
Put vre now come to the branch of the subject which
lias been least investigated by historians, namely, to the

■♦
non-aristocratic classes of tLe Normaus, tlie freemen,
Avhose ancestors had followed Eollo and tlie otlier North-
man princes from Scandinavia to Neustria. and who had
become settlers in England. \ " ■
It has been akeady shown that these classes, as well
as the nobles, must have emigrated to this country, and it
hence follows that the middle classes of England (all
above the condition of sloves) must have been largely
composed of Normans. This is distinctly recognised by
one of the principal historians of England, who thus
notices the theories of Thierry : — ' The whole evidence
seems to shov,- that the wide distinction and hostihty of
the two races, supposed by Thierry and his school to have
remained as late as the date of Henry TI., is a mere
imagination. The probabihty is, that though the upper
Classens were inainly Norman — the lower of old Eughsh
descent — the distinction had then become one of class and
not of nation. In the middle class, Thomas's [Beckct]
own class, the two races must have been much mixed up
to^rether. The real phenomenon of the age is, not the
struggle between the two races in England, but the fusing
together of the two races. . . . This silent gradual
fusing of Saxons and NoiTnans . . . was the great
work of the twelfth century.' 1
The classes, then, which were not servile, nor yet
noble, were greatly mixed, and consisted of Normaiis as

v.'eH ns Saxons. Thomas Bocket himself sprang from
t'v.'so classes, and was of K'orman origin.
"We find in tlie proceedings of the Curia Eegis, 1194-
1200, ineiilion made of names whicii belong to this
middle class. We fmd earher and later mention of these
names in the Monasticon and elsewhere ; but tliose allusionSj
.' s a general rule, do not enable us to determine the social
status of the persons mentioned. It is, however, different
Y,'hou v.'c come to the more detailed statistics of the
thirteenth century. Then, for the first time, we obtain
fi clear insight into the composition of the middle classes
in England, the petty landholders, copyholders, free-
liolders, free tenants, villeins, cottiers, tradesmen, shop-
keepers, and merchants.
There is here a necessity to enter into some dry
details, in order to show tliat in the thirteenth century
about a naoiety of these non-aristocratic clas-es above the
po>ition of slaves were Xormans, the descendants of those
A\ho had come over at the Conquest and had settled in
this country.
A few instances of the composition of the population
in particular manors in diflerent parts of England will
sliow the state of things.

reason to .^iinpo^c tJiat this class of tlic population had
much varied in its comijosition from the Conquest. The
mercantile aiid trading Himihes in those times remained
stationary, for tlicy had no facility for becoming landed
proprietors, or for exacting rents ^Yllich could reimburse
them for the loss of their mercantile gains. The feudal
S3'stem interposed barriers to the transfer of laud or io
the ci cation of rentals. The tenantry usually paid trifling
rents or none, and held their tenements by services,
militaiy and otherwise. The town population consequently
was \Qvy stationaiy, Hkc the rural.

in the time of Edward I, c. 1272. There is a full list

/ .. ■ . CHAPTER YI. . , :
THE DANISH SKTTLEMEXT IX EXGLAXD,
It is generally admitted that tlie Danisli invaders of
England in the ninth and following centuries were of the
same race as the Xorthmen Avho invaded France at the
same time, and were afterwards known as Xormans.
English liistory sufficiently attests the power of the Danes
in England ; but present opinion, anxious to believe in
the prevalence and ascendancy of the Saxons, is inchned
to miderrate the importance of the Danish invasion and
occupation of England. It is imagined that the effect of
the Danish imasion was sUght and transient, and thai the
Danes became extinct or merged in the vast masses of
the Anglo-Saxons. Such views are grounded on modern
theories, rather than on historical fact. In perusino-
the ' Saxon Chronicle' and the other contemporary records
of the date of the Danish invasions, it is impossible to
avoid seeing in the latter all the characters of a national
migration. The Anglo-Saxons were astounded at the
liosts of the invaders, which seemed absolutely inexhaus-
tible. Fresh armies of Danes appeared as soon as pre-
ceding ones had been destroyed. The Saxons sank at
lengtl:!, overwliehned, not only by the ferocity, Irut by the
102
TIE NOR>L\X PEOrLE
, numbers of tlie T^ortliinen ; and it was only by a most
fortunate combination of circumstances that Alfred
_ (wlien it api3eared least likely) wos enabled to recover
- from the Southern Danes, and their king Gutlirum, tlie
southern counties of EnglancL bounded by tlie Thames.
- - The remainder of England (three, times the size of tlie
Saxon territory), extending from the Thames to the Fritli
of Eorth, remained under the Danish dominion. Had
this great territory been united in one kingdom, tlie
Anglo-Saxon part of England would have been^inevitablj-
conquered in a generation or hvo. As it was, the Danes
established themselves everywhere throughout their
-territory as lords of the soil and occupiers. The Anoles
were slain, expelled, enslaved, or compelled to take
refiige in exile. From that time, Xorthumbria and Ea^t
Angha and .Alercia ^vere generally ruled by Danish kines
and jarls. Even when internal divisions had enabled the
Saxon kings to advance their sovereignty northwards,
the Danes ah.ays retahied native rulers ; and the contest
between them and the Saxons continued tiU fresh
invasions of D.mes reduced England enth-ely under the
Danish dominion, to revert for a few years to the Saxon,
and then to fall again permanently under the Danish'
(in the shape of the Xorman) sway. The Scandmaviai^
have ruled in England since 870.
The Danes came to England as a joeople. In the
pages of Ingulphus we read of eight Daiiish kinrrs an."!
nineteen jarls, who headed the Danish forces wliJli thov
■ . • THE nok:.l\x people 103
invaded Lincoln=liire ; and tlie general liistoiy of the
time mentions several kings of the Danes vrho simul-
taneously led their nations to tlie invasion of Eugiaiid.
T]ie movement was national.
Tlie result was that the j)opulation of the eastern,
midland, and nortliern counties became chiefly Danish
or Korman ; and there the Danish popidation remained ^
and lias so remained up to the present day ; and the energy
ajid intelhgence of the i^orthern English and lowland Scots
come from their Danish forefathers, Worsae has vejy
clearly shown the evidences of Danish descent whicli re-
mam in many parts of the north, wliere language, manners,
customs, and even physical characteristics contribute to
cstabhsh it. In accordance vrith the Jaws of natural re-
production, the continuance of the Danisli race in distiicts
w]iere they origimdly settled in vast numbers must be
assumed, unless there i- clear proof to the contrary.
The English language (in so far as it is not derived
from Latin sources) is in itself sufficient to shov\' the
continued existence of a popidation of Danes fidly equal
to that of the Saxons.'^ What remains of the Gothic
1 Dr. Dasont says (Jest and Earuo-t, ii. 10). ' At tLe Conquest England
\Ta3 more than half Scaudir avian. Besidts the great district of Northum-
brla, Avhich reached, it must bo remenihered, far across the borders into
Scotlaud, and the province of East Anglla, -where the Scandinavian stock
wa.i fast SL-ttled, their nationality reached as far south as Derby and EuL'-by,
in the very heart of Mercia.' Dr. Dasent here underrates the eil- nt of
the Scandinavian oc-cupt;ticn : it rencLed to the Thames, as appears by the
names of Scaudi.navian settlements down to its very banks.
"^ It has been remarked by ?ilr. Cardale, in a rote prefixed to his edition
of P>oethius, that before the Conquest 'pure Anglo-Saxon and Dano-Saxon

elemeut in English i:> derived as mucli from Scandina\ian
or Danisli sources as from Saxon — perliaps more so, ' Tlic
English language,' saj's one of our ablest pliilulogists, ' both
in conjugation, construction, accent, and pronunciation, is
more nci\r]y alhed to the Northumbrian or Danish dialect
llian to that of Wessex.'^ ^Yliat remains of the old
Saxon dialect (i.e. that of Wes^ex), appears in the writings
of king Alfred, ^Ifric, CTdnion, v-^'c, and is usually
styled 'j\nglo- Saxon.' This language is almost purely
Gothic, as is elsewhere observed. The Scandinavian or
Danish is anotlier dialect of the Gothic, and that djalect
has largely contributed to the formation of modern
English. If we take indiflerently a number of words
from the Engh.-li dictionary and compare them with the
coiTCspondiug terms in the Anglo-Saxon (or West Saxon)
and the Scandinavian under its dilTerent types of Xorse,
Swedish, and Dani-h, it will be found that in most cases
the words are nearly identical in English, Saxon, and
Scandanavian, but wliere there is a difference, the third
named is more frequently followed in English than tlie
second. A comparison in tabular form may illustrate
what is meant: ,

the Anglo-Saxon continued euhstantiallv distinct as long as the language
itself was iu use.'

that the former had upon the latter an influence powerful
enough to introduce into it some new phonolo'-ncd

to all the Gothic tongues, but which have disappeared
from the articulation of the Teutonic dialects.' ^ Professor

the English races wliicli did not derive theu' origin
from Ncusti-Ja ^vc^e about equally divided in point of
numbers.
The extent of tlie Danish dominion and occupation
has not been fully reah<ed. Ai'chojulogisls and liistorians
are agreed that from Xorthumbria to tlie midland coun-
ties tlie Danelagli prevailed ; and they usually determine
its limits by tracing the local names terminating in ' by.'
This is, Ko duubt, a Scandinavian tei-mination, and
^vhere\■er it occurs sufliciently ascertains the fact of a
Scandinavian settlement ; but there are other Scandinavian
local ternnnations ^vhich are aho lound in many parts of
England north of the Thames, and ^vllich cousideraijly
extend the area of the Danish settlements. Such termina-
tions are ' tliorpe,' ' trop,' ' stad ' or ' stead,' ' beck,'
' holm,' ' berg,' ' borg ' or ' burgh,' ' dal ' or ' dale,' ' toft,'
' see,' ' ness,' ' v.ik,' ' hoe,' ii-c., all of wliich are Scandina-
vian, and hidicate Scandinavian settlements in more parts
of Ejigland than is generally imagined. Kor are these
terminations derived from Denmark alone. It woidd be
a mistake to suppose that the ancient Daci or Dani came
merely from ^vilhiu the limits of the modern kingdom of
Denmark. They came also from Norway, and, to a verj'
large extent, fi'om Sweden. It almost ai)pears as if the
Swedish element ^vas the strongest am.ongst tlie Englisli
Nortlunen ; for there are evidences of Swedish settlements
in this country, and in all parts of it. to a very remarkable
ext(;nt. ...

It seems that tlic Xortlimei), in set ding in England/
iiilrodujcd very largely a class of local names altogether
dilTerent fi'om the former Anglic names ; and that the
new names were not merely Scandinavian in fonn, but in
many ca^es directly Scandinavian — the Jiames of villages
and ])Iaee.s in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The
settltT.- transferred tlie names of their native viUa^fcs to
o
England, just as the English of America, in after tunes,
gave to their new setllemci.'ts tlic names of old English
locahties. Ileiice Ave find tlie Anglo-Saxon ' Strenae-
shalch,' tvansf«»]-med into • Wliitby ' by tho Danes, the
latter name being transferred from 'Witbc' in Denmark.
It may be useful to place in juxtaposition some names of
the oiiginal Scandinavian localities and their counter-
parts in this country ; and it may bo convenient also to
arrange the places under Enghsh counties.

there can be little doubt that if the enquiry ^ve^c

Danish settlements in England ; but the author has not
cither time or space to do more. It must be borne in
mind tliat the diversity of orthography has arisen from
time. The principal object of introducing the list has
been to show, not only the wide diffusion of the Danes
over England, and to confirm the uict of their occupying
the whole tenitory to the north of the Thames, but also
the fact that, althougli usually styled 'Daci' or ' Daui,'
they might be (as they sometimes were) with moi'e pro-
priety entitled Northmen or Xormaus, being composed,
as the Xeustrian Xormans were, of iiations from different
parts of the north.
The comparison of English with Scandinavian names
of localities would require for its development a special
stud}'. It would iiu'olve the examination of Scandina\ian
geography and topogra])hy in their carhest authentic
sources, and a coniparison of the names of locahties with
their counterparts in the earl}- English charters, and in
Domesday Book.^ It would hold out, however, to the
Scandinavian archaeologist almost a greater reward than
to the Enghsh ; for it would probably enable him to
restore, to a considerable extent, tlie topography of
Scandhiavia in the ninth cen.tuiy, since e^'ery local
name, identified both in England and Scandinavia, would
furnish a proof (and in most cases a unique proof) of the
existei-.ce before 870 of the present towns and villages of

To es(abli:?h the continuance of tlie Duni.-sh race in
England no weiglitier authority than that of Sir Francis
Palgrave can be cited. His profound knowledge of
Enghsh history and of the English records entitles his
opinion on sucli a question to the highest considerittion.
'Tlie distinctive energy of the Scandinavian races has
continued in full vigour amongst us, and still remains un-
exhausted. Xo country testifies to the potent iniluence
of Scandinavian blood more tlian our own. However
mingled our population, each emigrant ship steaming
fron] our shores bears away a large proportion of passen-
gers who may claim real Danish ancestry. 'Many are
the Danish Havelocks in our ranks, undistinguished by
that heroic name.'^
The author regrets that the object and purpose of
this work i)reeludes him from entering on the subject of
Danish families now existing. It would be easy to name
some whose Danish origin is Httle suspected, and ^dlose
history is of surpassing interest ; but space forbids any
attempt to do justice to the theme; and Danish fainilics,

AYlial, we ask with natural interest, was the origin of
this miglity mce, on which history cannot dwell witliout
rising to th.e level of poetry? Whence came these giants
of the Middle Ages— these i-ivals of the Saracen, the
Pioman, and the Macedonion Con<|uerors ?
Their forefathers had, in the ninth centiuy, issued

ciidaiigored. Like li^e pilgiiin fathers of New England,
tliey Imd traversed tlie ocean to preserve their hberties.
A bran-.-li of tliern liad, vritli the same object, migrated
to Iceharid, wlicrc they liad established a llomishing
aristocratic republic, one of the earliest in Em-ope. The
mtcrnal wars of its kindred Gothic nations, the severity
of its iiiho.-pitable chmate, and the sterihty of its frozen
soO, had gradually created in Scandinavia a maritime
population of unrivalled enterprise, vigour, and courage.
Honour was awarded t-j bravery alone ; the Scandinavian
maid ch-dained the addresses of the man who had not
"won fame in battle : a peaceful death was considered to
be a deep disgrace, and rather than endure it the North-
man precipitated himself from a chflf into the sm'ge
beneath. If he was made a i)risone]-, he [U'cferred death
to submission; the proud heart broke; or the captive
dashed himself to pieces against the walls of his prison.
Tlie-e heathens, whose stern heroi?m recall^ that of the
Spartans or the early Eomans, were the progenitors of
the Normans.
And wlience, it may be asked, did these nati<)ns of
the nortli — the lineal forefathers of the Normans — derive
their origin? Were tliey indigenous to that soil, and had
their abode there been without commencement ? The
evidence afforded by language and institutions shovrs that
they had formed part of a great family of nations — the

the reiiiolcst branch of a race whicli had extended itself
to tlie shores of the Xortliern Ocean from tlie steppes of
Central A^ia.
Tlie Gelae or Gotlis^ are first heard of in the East,
where one of tlieir branches, the Massa-Getae, in the
seventli century B.C., ex|)e]led tlie Scythians from their
territories, and iii tlie sLxtli, defeated and slew Cyrus king
of the Persians and lii-; army.- This great nation, which
was St) jealous of its liljerties and able so potently to
maintain tlieni, was seated in the neighbourhood of the
Sea of Aral, and in those territories wliicli liow interveric
between the donrlnions of England and of Eiissia. The
Sac;\e or Saxones,^ and Dahae or Daci, were neiglibourino-

almost certriin that the Getae — one of the principal Thracian tribes, accord-
ing to Herodotus — are the Gothi or Gothones of the Konians, -who are the
old German Guthai or^Guthonos, and are Goths (see Grimm's Gescbichte
der Dcutschen.^pruche, vol. i. pp. 178-1S4). The one name superseded the
other iu the same country, and there are not wanting' ancient writers who
expressly identify tlio two f.rms (Philostorgius, Hist. EccL, ii. 5; Eniiodiu>,
p. 52, etc.). Grimm has shown that the change from ririjc to Goth is
according to the analo;_'yof the Teutonic and Gneco-Iioman form of epeech.'
Donaldson (Varrcuiaiuii, Srd cd. p. 51) speaks of 'the Getae, whether
CJilljd by this name, or designated as Goths, Guddas, Jutes, and Vites.'
The Jutes or Gotli.s in England were styled 'Ger.ti' or * Getae.' King
Alfred's translation of ' Jatis ' in Cede, i. 15, is ' Geatum ' and ' Geata.' Asser
' looked ou the Jutes and Goths ns the same people,' says Mr. Freeman.

nations, probably of the same race, as we fnid thcni
equally associated with the Getae hi the "West and the
East. ,.
Tliese nations of Massa-Getae, Sacae, and Dahae, seem
to liave beeji the rear-guard of the Getic nations, wlio
migrated from the East from about l,oOO to 2,0U0 years
B.C., and spread theuL-^ches gradually o\er Europe. We
can form a notion of their route ].y tracing the ^•arious
nations which they establislied in tiieir com-^e westwards,
and which coiitinued until the time when clas.-.ical history
and geography take notice of them. The Tys^a-Getae (one
of these branches) were left on the bank., of the Volga or
Eha. The Eoxolani branched olTihrtlicr on, between the
Tanais (Don) and the Borystlit-nes (Dnieper). Then the
Tyri-Getae were left to occu])y the banks of the Tyras
(Dniester); and when the migration reached the Danube,
the Getae, Daci, Triballi, and Thracians were left behind
to take possession of those regions. Thence tm^ning to
the north-we^t, the Getic or Gothic migration ascended
the Tyras till it ^truck the hcad-watc-i s of the Vistida.
On its route were detached the tribes of the Pien-Getae,
and the Ars-Getae, a.nd the nations of the Dastarnae, who
occupied south Poland ; and here also commenced the
gr.-'at migration westward, from whidi sprang the Ger-
manic nations.
L^ The Getlmax or Tja'TOMc race (wjiich alone with
propriety bears those dejiomiuation.>) was uudouljtediy of
the same origin as the Getic, Gothic, and Scandinavian, as
nS - TIIE XOl;^rAX PEOPLE
its language suflicienlly proves. It consisted of tiie tribes
of Quadi, Marconi anni, Hermandiui, Chatti, CheriL?ci,
S3'camljri or Ciml)ri, and others, whicli gTadually took
possession of the centre of modern Germany from the
Lippe sonthwajcls/ and from the Carpathians to tlie
iiliine. These tribes were confederate from an early
period. The nM)<t ancient biown name of tlie con-
federation v.-as ' Teutones,' a term which occurs in tlie
fourth century B.C.; tliat of 'Germans' was given by the
Eomans. It aro.-e from tlie guttural pronunciation of
*IIermiones'— then the federal name; and the Eomans
incorrectly applied this name to all nations east of tlie
Ehine, instead of to the central race, to which alone it
properly belonged. The Germans were afterwards con-
federated under tlie name of 'Franks,' and were con-
querors of northern Gaul.- In later times tliey became
again 'Teutones' or Dutch, and 'Germans,' and so con-
tinue to the present day. Tins race, whose language is
a harsh and guttural dialect of the original Gotliic or
Getic, is aboriginal in Germany, having occupied its
proper territories, and maintained a distinct federative
nationality, for more than 3,000 years.

tlio,<e tribes advanced northwards aloug the Vistula, to
its ]nouth, under the name of Getae or Goths. To 'tlie
east of the Vistula, tlie Srnno-Getae were despatclied to
settle Lithuania.^ Tlie Goths seated themselves all along
the Vistula; the Phrugui.diones, one of their branches, to
the east, ^vere tlie same as tlie Buro-undiones. who were
seated to the we.t of Die Vistula. Then, as the nation

of Vindals, or Vandal., Lombards, Vanni, Suevi arose,

west, and left the races of Saxones, Ciiauci, An-h, Frisians,

those of the MoCiO-GJothic.- It is even held by philolo-
gists of eminence ^ that the Gothic and the Ajiglo-Saxon
present the normal type uf the language, and that in
forming a com[Kirison of this funily of language with
those of the remainder of the Indo-European race it is
advisable not to take tlie German or Teutonic into
account, as it appears to be a pecuhar and incorrect
dialect, harsh and guttural in its form, and differing
materially from the softer and more genuine Gothic.

Baltic, it seems that the natural course of the Gothic
migration into Scandinavia was from the southern shores
of tlie Bahic and the Danish waters. As the Goths
spread along the Baltic they came to Jutland, thence
pas-,ed into the Dani^h Islands, thence across the Sound
into Sweden, and thence tlu'onghont the whole of Sweden
and Xorway. It is conceived that they were the earhest
occupants of these countries, and that the Lapps and
Finns (a branch of the Tchudi) came afterwards from
Asia. From the Goths thus settled in Scandinavia sprang
the Goths of Sweden, the Jutes, Getae, or Goths of Den-
mark, the Daci or Dani ^ of Denmark, and other tribes,
all ahke of Getic or Gothic origin.
From these tribes sprang the Daci or Danes of Eng-
land, and the Northmen or Xormans, who were of the
same race, and were indifferently styled by either name.
The Danes in England v^-ere equally styled Xormans, and
the Normans were ec[ually entitled Danes. It is pretty
certain that of the so-called Danes in England great
numbers were from Sweden,- and no doubt many Danes
^ The use of ' Daci ' instead of ' Dani ' ia so general -amongst mediieval
writers, that it appears probaUe that the latter term is only a corruption of
the former. There vrere Dabao or Dacae, seated near the Getae, in the
East, Yv-ho left their name to Da-hestan. They again appear as a branch of
the Getae on the Danube. And they also appear with the Getae in
Scandiuavia.

from Denmark were settled iu Normandy besides Nor-
wegians ; but tlie origin of lliese races was the same —
purely Gotliic. ■
Tlie eaiiy Eussian race was beyond doubt Gothic ; but
wlietlier Euiic and his people sprang from a dir-ect niigra-
tio]i from Sweden, as usually held, or wlietlier they were
descendants of the early Eoxolani, as held by some,
is a point which the author has not time or space to
examine, and winch appeai-s to have no material bearing
on the objects of this work. - . , •
From what has l^een above said, it appears that there
is an historical solecism in styling the Scandinavian,
Anglo-Saxon, and Gothic nations and their languages
'Teutonic,' or 'Low-German/ as is frequently done from
a want of due consideration. We inight as well term the
'German' 'Low S'^andiuavian,' or the 'French' 'Low
Spanish,' as >tyle the Gothic races and their dicdects
' Low-German.' Tlie Scandinavians, the Hollanders, the
Sles^dg-Holsteiners, the Dutch, the Hanoverians, the
-EDghsh, and the Americans, cannot with propriety be
styled Germaus ; the Germans and they are descended
from coe-\-al ancestors. Tlie Teutons are as much a
branch of the EugHsh as the Enghsh are a branch of the
Teutons, and both assertions are equally incorrect.
Both nations are descendants of the aborio-inal Getae, the
greatest of all the families that sprang from Japhet.
It seems dciiral^le to notice the incorrectness of this
popular nomerjclature of races (vrhich arises from adoption
tid:; KOI;M.\^' people 123
of the Germ-au practice), because the question of race has
passed out of the categoiy of abstract theoiy, and has
]>eco]ne one of serious reaht}'. 'Xatio]is and languages
against dynasties and treaties,' says Professor Max Mill] er.
'This is wliat has re-modelled, and ^nll re-model still
more, the map of Europe.' The question of ' German '
and 'Xon-German' is no longer an indifferent theme,
since Germany has evinced so' strong a disposition to
convert theory into fact, and to reduce by force to Ger-
manic unity all nations ^■^hicu it is possible to identify
as of Germanic race. It is not wise in the nineteenth
century to adopt theories as to tiie origin of races which
might have been prudently indulged in, in the eighteenth.
The Enghsh dominions at the present day contain a
vast population of Gothic origin. Taking the Em'opean
races of the Empire at forty millions (setting aside all races
of African or Oriental birth) it may be stated generally,
that the properly Enghsh race comprises thirty millions out
of fo2"ty millions, the remainder being composed of Celts,
foreigners, and Hebrews. These thirty milhons, are the
descendants of tlie Gothic race in its threefold form of
Saxon, Dane and Norman. In all probabihty the Danish
element is about equal to the Saxon, and the Saxon about
equal to the Norman ; there is no evidence that any great
disparity exists between the respective members of these
three races. It seems probable that the mass of tlie
Saxon population remains amongst the less influential and
wealthy part of the comniimity, because there is reason
124
THE >:or..AL\N PEOPLE
to suppose that tlie superior energy and enterprise of tlie
Danish and ISVman character have in general determined
the rehitive position of races in England. It is, however,
impossible to suppose a rule which is not liable to many
exceptions, and it would be in vam to attempt to apidv it
_ in any ^vay to indi^-idual cases, or to affirm that Xonnan
and Danidi blood always implies energy and intellect,
and Saxon descent the reverse; we have too many
instances to tlie contrary. AVhat may be safely affirmed is,
that the Eugh^h nation i.s homogeneous hi a high deoiee,
perhaps more so than any Corxtinental nation of equal
importance; and that its origin is not Teutonic, but Gothic.
What has been here remarked of the Em'opean popu-
lation of the Enghsh empire may be equally said of that
of the United States of America. Diffi^rent in some
respects as may be the ])ohtical arrangements of the tvro
countries, the same nation constitutes the population of
both. In England we have retained those ancient Gotliic
institutions whose origin ascends not merely to Xorman
or Anglo-Saxon times, but to the commencement of
society in modern Em'ope, and to an era for more remote
than the downfall of the Eoman Empire. This countjv
furnishes a unique example of the uninterrupted continu-
ance of those free institutions which characterised the
Gothic tribes of the first century, arid which had de-
scended from pre-historic times. America has lost
the Gothic principle of hereditary suzerainty, founded
originally on seniority of descent ; and like the early
THE XOPvALYX PEOPLE 125
German and Gothic Confederations, lias made its gene-
rals or rnlers elective ; but the nation has continued
to preserve its essential cliaracteristics. There arc un-
questionably distinctions between the English and Ameri-
can temperament : on these it would be impossible here to
dwell. Tlie peculiar circumstances of each 'country may
account for tliese difierences ; and perhaps it may arise
in part from the greater preponderance of the Scandinavian
element of population in America than in England, for
it may be supposed that the English emigration to America
was, until recently, confined to tliose classes which were
not merely of an adventurous and enterprising character,
but which were possessed of some amount of means, and
were not amongst the poorest and most depressed part of
oiu' population. ".
Setting aside these difTerences as unimportant, we may
say that England exists in America as well as here. We
have another England on the other side of the Atlantic.
It wa3 not without reason that ' Xew England ' was so
termed ; and ' Xew England ' might be the denomination of
the whole of that magnificent empire at the present day.
The population is essentially English in blood and in
name. If eveiy family surname hi England were to
become extinct to-morrow, it would, be preser^'ed in
America. The identity in blood of tlie English and the
American pe«)ple can only be thoroughly appreciated
after comparing the local directories of the tvro countries.
The names are tli rough out identical ; there are milhons

of our o-wu, and wliicli even now are not removed from iis
by a more distant rclationsliip llian that which in tliis
country i- ^till often recognised as connecting famihes
by the ties of consanguinity. "We may ourselves have in
early youth converged with individuals whose fothers or
grandfathers v/erc living soon after the early emigrants
sailed f -r America. Traditii:)n may have conveyed to us
the names of our own ancestors ^\ho shared in thiat
emigration, or were conteniporary with it — so nearly
related is the English race in America to ourselves.
Tlie mnnl"»ers of the Engli-h in the United States may
be stated as amounting to thirty millions out of the fori}-
whicli inhabit that var^t dominion.
Tliis i.s said after considering the aggregate numbers
of other races in tlic United State-, 'ilie entire Gothic
or English race of the two countnes amounts to sixty
millions. ^lay that race, in remembrance of its intimate
alliance in blood, ever stand united in muiual offices of
friend-liip and good-will ! May every cloud of distrust
and every sentiment of international jeakni-y be dispelled
by a generous and noble confidence ; arid may each
branch of this great and memorable race rejoice in ihe
honour, the power, and the prosperity of the other.
The Goths of the western world are still migrating as
their forefiithers were doing four thou'-and years since, and
they still retain the same indomitable vigour, the same
spirit of enterprise, the same love of liberty, the same
TITE NORMAN TEOPLE 127
generosity of sentimenl, and the same sense of national
honour wliich tiieir Scandina\ian and Gotliic progenitors
ahvays evinced. - ;•:■;■—;•
To llie sixty millions of English race we mnst add
eight millions of the descendants of the illustrious
Scandinavian nations in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark,
orjc TiCar and honoured kinsmen and relations in blood ;
and it is satisfactory to add a fact, which is not generally
known, that the country of Gustavus Yasa, of Gustavus
A.dolphus, and of Charles XTT. — the land of Harold
Harfagr and Eollo — are presided over by a Northman
d^masty — the descendants of the aboriginal Gothic race —
the race of the Yikings.'^
* The Frencli surname ' Bernadotte ' 13 one cf those corruptions of names
■which are as common in France as in England, The original form was
'Bcnietot.' That name came from Normandy, vrhere there -n-as a place
near Yvetot so styled, and which, in the tenth century, derived its appel-
lation from * Biorn ' or ' Bern,' a Swedish or Norwegian viking ; the
termination * tot ' or * toft ' also indicating Scandinavian origin. The
descendants of this Scandinavian vikiug bore the name of De Bernetot,
Geofiiy de Bernetot accompanied the Conqueror to England in 106G, and
was succeeded by Geofiry, whose son, Bobert Fitz GeofFry, was, in llGo,
owner of fiefs in the north of England held from the barony of Ilanseline
by ' ancient enfeoffment,' i.e. dating before the death of Henrv I. (Liber
Niger). These possessions were in York, and perhaps in Northumberland,
where the name frequently occurs in the records of the thirteenth and four-
teenth centuries under the form of 'De Burnetoft' or 'De Bruntcfte,' and
where it rs not yet entirely extinct. The family also remained in Normandy ;
for Johii de Benietut, with others of the same name, held Peletot or Peltot
in the Pays de Caux,not far from Bernetot, in the reign of Philip Augustus,
by serjeanty or special service (Mem. Soc. Ant. Norm, xv, 172). From this
Norman biunch, which vvas numerous, descended the Ecrnetots or Eernatots,
who are afierwa.rd3 found seated in the south of France under the name of
Bernadotte, and employed in the legal prof-:;ion, in which the hereditary
aslutenfts;i of the Northmen has always found a congenial occupation.
128 . THE NOEITAX PEOPLE
To tlie south of ?candinavi:i remciiu our kindred
Siixoii races, tlie brellircu of the Anglo-Saxons and our
own. From ^lecklenburg to the borders of Holland, and
from the ocean to the Lippe, still remain four milhons of
Goths — the race of Witekind — now reduced under the
German sway, on the pretext ' of ' German unity.' In
Holland, under the heirs of the heroic patriot 'Wilhara of
Nassau, and in Belgium eight millions of Goths still retain
national independence ; and in Xorn:iandy proper two
milhons of Scandinavian race remain, but subject to the
dominion of the Franco-Celtic race.
The descendants of the Goths, and of their branch,
the Lombards, and of the Normans (also Goths) must be
vastly numerous in Italy. They superseded, in a great
degree, the ancient population, which had been exhausted
and drained off by the comipt policy of imperial Rome.
Probably far more than a moiety of the inhabitants of
that reno^vned countiy are of Gothic race ; and fi-om this
Gotliic nation sprang the free republics of the Middle
Ages, the mercantile enterprise of Genoa and Venice,
the genius of Italian poetr}% and the high patriotism of
Savonarola and Garibaldi.
We find aguin the descendants of the Goths in Franco
soutii of tlie Loire, and in Spain, but mingled -with the
Celts. The Bm-gundians (also Goths) have left their
posterity in tlio ea^t of France from Burgundy to the
mouths of the lihone. England vras more closely allied
in blood to these races than v\'ere tlie Celtic and Frank
TIIE NOr;-\LiX PEOPLE ■ ^ 129
(German) races which predominate iu France ; and wliile
England may have derived incidental advantages from
the separation of its kindred races in Aqnitaine, it may
still be a matter of question -vvlicther Acjuitaine itself vras
benefited by the exchange of Gothic freedom, under
English pi'otection, for Frank centralisation and Bourbon
absolutism.
The Gothic race in the west, then, iiiaj probably
exceed a hundred millions at present, of which the
Engli.di race furnishes ^ixty. Its remote branch, the
Teutonic or German race, may number thirty millions.
Switzerland sheds its highest splendour on this German
branch, and adds to its numbers two or thi'ee millions.
What may be the amount of the still remoter branches
of the Goths in liussia — vrhat has been the destiny of the
Eoxolani and of the race of Eiiric, it were impossible
liere to discu>s ; but that there arc still considerable
numbers of the descendants of the Goths iu Eussia is in
the highest degree probable.
The sum total of this vast family of Getic nations may
])erhaps now amount to a hundred a]id fifty milhons in
Europe and Ameiica, or nearly a seventh part of the
liuman race.
A tabular \ie\v of the progress and connection of
these nations may be convenient ; it is therefore here
subjoined.

Tlie family of Chaucer, Chaucier,

Richard lo Chaucer was of Lr.ndon,
l;3:?S; Johu C. in 1.340(KiIey, Liber

man of Tjartholomew Chaucer, who
possessed estates in Camb.-idge,
Hums, Herts, and Essex, 1'-'AJ (Pari.
Hot. i. 410, cited by XichJas).

This family bore the arms of Ma-
lesoiires (viz., per pale argent and

grave) wVichhad possessed estatesin
Essex, Rutland, and Xorthants from
the Conquest. There are two ( ther
forms of these ancient arms of the
Chaucers (Robsou). The name Le
Chancier (Calcearius) may have

nocled with the t-nurt- of land It
•would seem probable that this was
a branch of the family of Male-

Verlai held thirteen lordships in
Salop from Earl Uo^'er, of which
Ciietwynd appears to have been the
chief (Eytou, Salop). Hobert his
son was a baron t. Henry L, and
before 1121 witnessed a charter in
favour of Salop Abl>ey (lb.). He
was living 1141, and was father of
Iiobert de Yerlai, who, with his
father, pave Verlai Church, Xor-
ni.ndy, to E-say Abb-.-y, wliivh
jriant was confirmed by Henry H.
(^not Henry 1. as erroneously stated
in Gallia Christiana, xi. '2-M, Instr.).
The next in descent was Adam de
Chetwynd, 11^0-1203; and in his
time the bariniy, consisting of two
knights' fet'S, was placed by the
Crown under the feudal suzerainty
of the Fitz-.Vlans (Eyton,^ riii.).
The ancient arms of Chetwynd were
two chevrons, probably the arms of
Verlai. From Juhn do C, ion of
Adam, descended the Chet%synds of
Salop and StalT'rtl, Viscounts Ciiet-
wynd, and the 13aronets of the same
name.

Churchills of Dorset, ancestors of

pedigrees, to the reign of Henry VII.,
bearing a lion ramp., debruised by
a bcndlet. Prior to this, they were
of Devon and Somerset, still bearing
the same arms (Pole, Devon). The
C.s of Devon descended from Elias
do Chirchille, t. Edw. I., -who m,
tlie heiress of Widworthy. In the
sam? reign Piichard do Churchnlle
occurs ar Bniton and at Path (Piot.
Ilundr. ii. 124; Anderson, Poyal
Genoal.). At the same time John
de Corcolle, or Curcelle (the original
fonu of Churchulle), occurs at Bru-
ton (Pot. Ilimdr. ii. 124). Prior to
this, Wandragesil de Curcelle is
mentioned in Somerset, Sec. (RCP),
c. 13 OS. His father, Hugh de
Curcelle, held five-and-a-half fees
from the barony of Totnos?, 116-5
(Pole, 12): and in a preceding
generation lived Poger do C, -who
■was granted Frome, Somerset, bv
Henry I. (Rot. Hundr, ii. 1.30).
The latt'.r was descended from Hugo
Pinc-^rna, who witnessed charters in
favour of St. Amand, Normandy,
before the Conf^uest pion. i. 990).
His son, William de Corcolle (Gall.
Chrin. xi. 04), was father of Roger
de Corcelle, who, in 1080, held a
great barony in Somerset, Sec, but
lost il on taking part with other
barons against Henry I, on his ac-
cession. Ho had brothers, Richard
Pincerna or De Corcelle, Robert
Pincojiia, and Rainald, seated in
Salop and Chester. His son, Roger
de Corcelle, received a grant of the
Hundred of Frome, Somerset, from
Henry I., held by the service of one
kmgut, where his descendants con-
tinued. Hugh de Corcelle, his son.

lands at Douglas, Lanark, from
Arnold, abbot of Kelso ( Chalm-.-r.s,
CftledoEia, i. 418, Arc; lie was pro-
bably brother of D:Jd\vin le riom-
ing (1 iamiugus), who about the same
tipio bad ft gra.it of Biggar from
David I., and was Viscount of La-
nark. The latter, as Baldwin 1-lan-
drtusis, in 1130 Wtis excused pay-
ment of a fine in England at the
instauee of AVilliam, Castellan of St.
Omer (Hot. JMp.). "William Fitz-
littldwin, bis pou, held lands iu
Devon llGo, with Ercliembald or
Arohembald lo Fleming, his cousin
(Lib. Niger), The latter was sou of
Stephen, and grandson of Archembald
lo FTen)iiig or Flandrensis of Devon ;
tbo latter of whom held estates
there lOSO (Dumosd.). F'rom the
Devonshire lino de.-:oendcd the Le
llemiags, barons of Slane. in Ire-
land. Baldwin of Bigirav wa^j an-
cestor of the Lo Flemyngs, who were
invested with the earldom of ^Vi_y-
ton 14th cent.- Tueoliald le Flou!-
ing, of Douglas, had issue William,
whose son Erchembald was ancestor
of the Barons and Earh of Doudas,
the Earls of Angus, now Duki s of
Hamilton, Earls of Morton, of Sel-
kirk, and many other families.
The connexion of William de St.
Omer with tliis family has been no-
ticed. The arms of the Earls of
"\\'igtou (a chevron) are those of
the family of J>tjthune or De Arras,
of which "William de St. 0. was »i
member. It is probable that Bald-
win lo Fleming, of B-iggar (llOOj,
was a nephew of AVilliam, his
grandfather, Archembald le Fleming
(lOSC), btdng of a branch of the
house of Bethune. {See ]>eatox.)
This joint connexion of the i>e Fh-iu-
yngs of Biggar, and the Douglases,
with the Devonshire house, appears
from the Liber Niger.

About A.T«. Geo Aother or Other, a
great nibble of Aquitaine and pro-
bably of Gothic descent, was de-
prived of estates in Aquitaine by
Clotairo IIL (Bouquet, x. 312).
Sacerge, one of these estates, was
afterwards in possession of the
f^imily, and was granted by another
Otiier, c. 957, to the Abbey of
Fleury n^ar Orleans (Ibid.). Other
or Autier, liis son (whose name
v^-as Lat:ni>ed Austerius),_ was Lord
of the Castle of Mortaino, Aquitaine,

of Mortaine (Gallia Christ, ii. -IS,
In^tr.), and "Walter Fitz-Other, who
accompanied the Conqueror to Eng-
land, and received from him a
barony and the olVice of Castellan

who forfeited the Barony of Prune,
t. Henry I.; 2, Saher de Say, who
is statc-d to have taken refuge in
Scotland, and obtained grants from
Alexander 1., named after him Say-
ton. Alexander, his son, was a baron
of Sayton and Wynton (Chalniors,

Seyton or .Seton, Earl> of "\\"iDioun
and Dunf>;rmline, "N'iscounts Kings-
ton, and (under the nanjo of Gordon)
Marquls.i of Huntley and Dukes of
Gordon. Gordon is a clan name,
and is of course chietly borne by
persons of Celtic race.
iJ-ordge, for Gorges. See Cardoe.
Gore, or Goher. See Gower.
The name Gore is armorially iden-
tified with ' Goare,' and ' Goare '
with ' Gower,' One branch of the
latter family bore a fesse, which
seems to be the original form of the
Gore arms. The Gowers of '\'S'ar-
wick and "Worcester bore the same
arm? as the Earls of Arran, merely
doubling the number of cro^slets
(Pobson). Ii ia ckar, therefore,
that the Gores are Gowers of the
^\'arwickshire line, of which Hugh
de Goher held a knight's fee from
the Earl of Wairwick^iu llGo (Lib.
Nig'.). From this line derived the
CJores, Earls of Arran and Boss, and
the Baronets Gore.

*' Guhier ' obtained a pardon in
Oxford, lloS (Tiot. Pip.\ being also
of Essex, for after 1152 the Abbey
of Tilteney, Essex, acquired lands
of the fief of William ' Goer' (Mon.
i. 8-SO).
This William Goer or Guhier
was Lord of Stittenham, Yorkshire,
and was dead A.i>. li'OO (KCR).
He confirmed the grant of Godfrey
Fitz-Hichard of Slitnam to Rivaux
Abbey (Lurton, Mon. Ebor. 3G3).
^Valter Goher, his son or grandson
(Men. ii. 823), had issue William,
'son of Walter Goher,' who in 1270
paid a fine to the Crown (Iloberts,
Excerpt, ii. 513). This William
G. had a park in IJorset, t. Ileray
III. (Placit. Abbrev. 281). His son
John was summoned in 1300 for
miltary service in Scotland ; and
iu the same year Robert Goucr
(probably his brother) v.-as com-
missioner of array in Yorkshire
(PPW). From this family descend
the IJukes of Sutherland, Earls of
Granville, Eilesmere.and Cromartie.
Oower, John. The Poet's origin
has been treated by Sir Harris Ni-
colas (Petrospective Eeview, Se-
ries ii. vol. 2, and iu the Kentish
Archffiologia, vol. vi.). It appeai-s
from these authorities that G. was
born c. 1330 ; acquired the Lord-
ship of Aldington, Kent, iu ISti-jj
that of Kentwell, Suffolk, and an-
other in Essex by purchase from the
dau. of Sir Piobert Gower, Knt. ;
also Multon, SuQblk, and Feltwell,
Norfollr, iu 1382 : and a lease of
Southwell, Notts, which v»-ith Mul-
ton he left to his widow on his
decease, 1408.
The poet was probably nephew
and heir-male of the above Sir
Robert Gower. The latter resided
in Kent. In 1359 lung Edw. Ill,
took up his abode at Stonar, I^le of
Thanet, in a house formerly belong-
ing to * Robert Goviere ' (Hasted,
Kent, iv. 385). In the preceding
generation * Richfird Gouiere ' was
bailsman for an M.P. for Sussex,
1313, and was not of that county,
but probably of Kent ; and from the
continual interchange of families
between Kent and Esses was
doubtless of the Essex fimily of
Goher or Guhier, as the name is not
an e.^rly Kentisb one. The family
of Guhier or Goer in Essex was
Norman and of great antiquity (see
GowEP., Duke of Sutherland),
The arms of Gower of Essex were
a chevron between three wolves'
heads erased. The poet and the
Kentish family bore the chevron'
charged with three Leads, v,-heth*;r
of lions, leopards, or wolves, it vrere
hard to say. Archdeacon I'odd was
not £0 r.iur-]; jii en-or as Nicolas
Uiid others have supposed, in making
the poet of the same family as the
Gowers of Stittenham.

I'Vo.u this family sprang the brave

t. Henry IE confirmed to Castle
Acre Pri:^ry the titl}e? of his lord-

granted by his ancestors. This Sir
Eichard Branche was one of four
knights summoned in 1-200 to select
12 _ knights for the grand fvs-
size, Norfolk (ECR, ii.). Sir Peter,
his grandson, held Gresham and Ayl-
niorton by the service of two fees
from JCarl Warreune, and 1241 had
a writ of summons to pass into
France, and had a grant of mar]<et,
fair, and free warren. He had tv%-o
sons, Nicholas and Eoger, the
former of whom with his descend-
^ ants boro the name of Branche, the
'latter that of De Greshani. Both
continued to bear the same arms (a
chevron between three mulkts),
mei-ely varying the tinctures. In
the ](Jth cent, tlie (ireshams added
a chief variously charged to their
arms.
Roger Branche or Gresham was a

Greville or Grenville. The
names are used interchangeably in
the early records, and the arms of
Grevilie are those of Grenville with
a bordure to mark a younger branch.
The GreviHes, Earls of Brooke and
A\'arwick-, Eords Brook, Gre^illo,
kc, probably descend from a branch
of the house of Grenville or Greville,
of A\'ottoa, Bucks. See Grexville.
The arms are those of a younger
branch of this liouse. This branch
was possessed of Drayton, Oxford-
shire (the adjoining county to
Bucks), and was descended from
John Greville (or Grenville), who
appears to be the same who is men-
tioned by Collins as of Wotton 130S,
and wliose father John, sou of John
de Greinville, was living 1305.
There can be little doubt that the
present branch sprang from the
(irenvilles at about this date, both
from the arms and the recurrence of
the same contemporary Christian
names.

Lord of Gray, c. 070, and his son

Grosvenor. so named from the
office of "S'cnur, or Yenator (hunts-
man) of the Dukes of Normandy,
borne by this family. AYalter de
Yenur was eminently distinguished
900 at the battle of the Fords, be-
tv.-een Lothaire, Kiug^ of France, and
the Normans, where he was rescued
by Duke Richard I., and remounted
by him on his best horse (Palgiave,
Hist. Normandy, ii. 73S). The name
occurs about the same time in the
Charters of the Gallia Christiana.
The ancient seat of the Le Yenours
appears to have been Yenables, near
Evreux, and they bore or, or argent,
a bend azure (La Roque, Hist. Har-
court, ii. 1181), which was also
borne by several of their English
descendants, especially by the family
under consideration. Three brothers
of this family came to England with
Hugh Lupus: 1. Gislobert Yenator,
or De Yenables, ancestor of the ba-
rons of Kinderton, of whom Gisle-
bert Yenables of Cheshire is men-
tioned in Normandy IISO as ' Gisle-
bert Yenator' (MRS). The French
line of Le Yenur, de.'^cended from
him, bore argent, a bend azure, fretty
or, for diQ'erence (Anselme, viii.

bably derived the Butlers of Chester,
Barons of "Warrington, who also
bore or, r. bend azure, differenced by

merod, iii. 87), was ancestor of tlie
Grosvenors of Cheshire. In the
reign of Richard II., Lord Scrope
objected to their use of their pa-
ter-ial arms, as his own ancestors
bad used the same, at which time it
was proved that the G.s had bonie
their arms from the remotest ages ;
but the influence of Scrope obtained
a decision depriving this family of
their original arms. The Marquises
of "Westminster, ]-'arls of Wilton,
and ]-.ords Ebury descend from this
house.

heir of Waleran, a great baron of

^ Kathoril!, or Hauterill, armo-
rially idertified with Hautevill
(Robson;. This family, which also
appears under the form of Hovel 1
and Hauvell, is one of the most
historically interesting in Europe,
being a branch of the Norman kings
of Naples and Sicily. Ilialtt, a
Northman viking, c. 920, was its
probable founder, whence the Cef
of Haultviile or Ilautville, Latinised
Altavilla. Third in descent was
Tnncred, b. c. 9S0-990, Sire de
Hautville, who v.as in the court of
Ricliard IL, whosij favour he gained
in the hunting field by an exploit •
narrated by Galfiid de Malattrra.
He was leader of ten knights in the

IIA^V
Duke's service (Bouquet, xi.). He
m. and bad Drogo, Unifrid, Galfrid,
Serlo, lioLerl,^ Malger, Alvered,
AV'illiaiu, HmnLert, Tnucred, and
Roger, who v.-ere the most renowned
warriors of their age. Serlo was
taiceu into the Duke's horjehold in
reward for a remarkable feat of
chivalry, and Geoffry, according to
Orderic Vitalis, obtaiuod the paternal
f ef, when his father went to spend
his Last days in Italy.
Tlie other sons joined the Xornian
chivalry in Apulia, where William,
surnamed ' Bras do ]''er,' hef^auie
leader of the Xomians and Lord
of Ascoli, Drogo Lord of Venosa,
and the other Norman chiefs great
barons. In 10-4-"i "Wiiliain was
elected by the chiefs their general
and Count of Apulia. lie was suc-
ceeded 10-10 by his brother Drogo
de Ilautville, Count of Venosa, who
•was succeeded by Humphry his
brother, who dying 10j7 was suc-
ceeded by his brother Robert do
IlautcvUle, surnamed Guiscard (the
Adroit), Duke of Calabria, Apulia,
and Sicily. Rogt.T his brother be-
came Count of Sicily, and from him
descended the De Hautevilles, kings
of Naples and Sicily^. Bohemund,
Prince of Antioch and Tarento, so
renowned in the First Crusade, was
son of Robert Guiscard, and from
him descended the Kings of Cyprus
and Jerusalem.
A branch of this royal house
becama seated in England. Geotl'ry
de Hautville, who remained in
Norraandy, was father of Ralph do
Ilautville or Altavilb, who in lOSO
held a liarony in "Wilts (Domesd. ).
His descendants were a renowned
race of warriors. Sir John de Ilaut-
ville accompanied Edward I. to
Palestine. In 131G John de Ilaut-
ville WES Lord of Norton-Ilawtield
or Ilautville, Somerset, and 1310-24
Sir Geolii-y de II. was AT. P. for
Somerset, Bucks, and "SV'ilts. ' lie
bore sable crusilly argent, a lion
rampant argent, being nearly the
same as those borne by the Kings
of Italy as descendants of the Kings
i of Cvprus. Ilautville's quoits, two
great rocks, which he is said to have
used as quoits, are still shown in
Somerset, v;here popular tradition
describes him as a giant (Collins,
SoDler^et).
The ITant\ illes or Ilauvilles vrere
seated in Xorthants and Rutland,
t. John ; and in Norfolk by grant
of Henry II., where they held the
diirnity of hereditary falconer to the
king. The name changed in that
county to Auville, Haville, Ilovell,
and Duntou. The name in Nor-

Bretagne, of which this family were
hereditary Castellans. The family
is mentioned in that province in the
li?th cent. (D'xinisy et St. Marie,
Sur le Domesday). AVilliam de Aure
or Aire held lands in Devon 10S3
(Ex. Doniesd.). William de Aure

2. Ilobart or De Criquetot, from C.
near Dioppo, Normandy j a baronial
family in England. Ansgar de C,
vrbo accompanied tbe Conqueror,
held lands in Suffolk from Mande-
ville in lOSG. Hugo Fitz-An-^gar
occurs 1130 (Pot. Pip.). In 110-5
Hubert do Criketot, bis son, held
two fees from Mandeville (Lib.
Nig.). He had, 1. Ilumfrid de Cri-
ketot, ancestor of the Earons C. ; 2.
Hubert Fitz-IIubert; 3. Pichard
Fitz-IIubert, who were parties in a
suit in Es?ex 1194 (PCP). From
Hubert Fitz-TI. descended the Fitz-
Huherts or Huberts of Tye and
Hubert's Hall in Harlow, ll^sox,
which ph'.ces were within the
Honour of Mandeville. Geoffry H.
of this line, t. Ilenrj- III., had Simon ;
and t. r:dward HI., Pobert IJu-
bard or Hubert was of Harlowe,
1-isex (Morant, ii. 4S4). In lOS'J
John H. was Lord of Tye. Collins
gives an account of the family from
this time till c. 1450, when it passed
into Norfolk, and his account is
confirmed by Plomefield, Norfolk
(v, 3%). In the reign of Henry
VII. Sir James Hubert or Hobart
became Attorney-General. His great
grandson was Lord Chief Justice,
and from him descend the Eavls of
Buckin.'ham.^hire.

ing to the Testa de Neville, and

Ilamo Pincerua, who, in the reign
of AVilliam Rufus (or Henry I.),
obtained Ilocton in marriage with
the dau. of Warin Bussel. This
Hamo cannot have been cf the
house of Butler, Earls of Ormond
(as the Peerages suppose), because
the name Pincerna was not borne by
the latter till much later. He was
probably a son of Richard Pincerna,
(aud it may be observed that his
own son bore the name of Pichard ).
The latter was ancestor of the Pin-
cernas or Butler.?, Lords Botoler of
Warrington 0205), Butlers of

Jewell, John, Bishop of Salis-

at Bowdon, Devon, where the family
of Juel or Eitz-Joel had been long
resident. A Juell occurs c. 14o0
: (I'ule, Devon, .37-'>), and in 1242
I ^^'avI^ Fitz-Juel held a knight's
■ fee, v\-hich had been granted by the

This family derived probably !
from Jiiel or Judael de Mayennc,
I3arou of Tolnes-s and Barnstaple,
t. William I. (soc Mxryv, Mat.nj;), i
a Breton noble. He held lands
from the Eiarl of Mortaine, besides
his own barony ; and a portion of
the former, as well as a fief created
in the Barony of Totness, seems to
have passed to the youujrer branch
named Fitz-Juel. The name of
Juel long continued in tlie de-
scendants of Judael de Mayenne.

Herts, 1203 (Rot. Cane). Jocelyn
Htz-Richard, his son, occurs in
Hertford (RCR) ; and William
Fitz-Richard held the estates in
Essex, 12-30 (Testa), which, how-
ever, appear to have passed to the
descendants of Jocelyn.
Tln^mas Jucelyn of Herts, 124>;,
ac'juired Hyde in that county by
marriage (Morant, i. 406). Ralph,
his son and heir, in 1315 wa.5 as-
sessor of aids in Herts (PFW ).
His descendants always held e-^tates
in Essex and Herts piorant), and
from them descended Robert Jocelyn
of Hyde, j^ord Chancellor of Ire-
land, ancestor of the Earls of Roden.
Genealogists have furnished a fabu-
lous pedigree for this family.

"William Juxon, Archbishop of
Cauterbm-y, son of riichard Jaxtoii
(d. 15S3), Vi-hose father John Jux-
ton of London probably came from
Laucasliirc. The n?.rae of Juxtou
or Euxtou occurs, there as late as
1C41 (Ducat. Eancastr. i. 100).
The Maijor of Euxtou was acfjuired
t. Edw. I. by a branch of the Hol-
lands by m. with an heiress of the
Buscels. In 1323 it was held by
William Holland de Eukesloue.
The name was adopted by a younger
braucli of the Hollands, for they bore
origr. a cross between four Moors'
heads for difference — the Hollands
bearing a cross. The Hollands were
a branch of the De Grollys or Gres-
lets, Barons of Manchester, who came
with Eobert de Poitout. William I.,

GeofFry Fitz-Ermilph de Torp held
half a knight's fte from the see of
Durhnni ('LaiuLtou), as appears by
the Libev Niger. John cle Torp, son
of GeolTry, executed a charter in
Durham, c. 1200, which Avas wit-
nessed by his son Jolin de Lamtun
(Surtees, Durham, ii. p. 170, Sec).
Ill 12G0 another John de Lamtoa
witnessed at Newcastle a cliartev of
Alexander, King of Scotlaiad. The
lordship of L. was held as half a
knight's fee from the see of Duvliam,
and the arms of De Torp and De
Lauibton appear to have been ori-
ginally the same — viz. a fesse — to
which the fonuer added three lleur
de lys or lions, and the latter three
lambs, in allusion to the name. The
Earls of Durham descend from this
family.

"SViggott, Wigott, or Bygod, is a
branch of the Bigods, EarL of Nor-
folk ; and its ancient arms as ' Wy-
gott ' are those of the Bigods, vrith
appropriate differences (viz. a cross
quarterly pierced or, between four
escallops arg., a fifth in the centre
point). The Bigots or Y^igots
appear, from various circunistaaces
too long to bo detailed, to be de-
scendants of IrVigot de St. Denis,
one of the greatest nobles of Xor-
inandy, who made grants to Cerisy
.Abbey in 10-12, and ia lOoO eub-
Ecribed a charter of l)uL'o AViliiam
at the head of the Norioan barons.

Turstin Goz, father of Fuchard
B'Avranches (father of Hugh Lu-
pus), and bad a younger son, IJobert
SVigot, Fitz-Wigot, or Bigot, who
was introduced by Fi chard iJ'.-^v-
ranches to the favour of Bake

cestor of the Wigols or Bigots,
Ear'ja of Norfolk ; 2, Y'illluui.
AYilliam Bigot, the second sou,
went into Apulia, but returned with
Geotfry Fidel, t. Willia-ni I.
(Domesd,), and had a grant of
Dunmow and Finchingfield, Essex,
where he made gifts to Thetford
Abbey (Mou. i.). Ue had Ilger,
who in 109G was chief commander
in I'alestiuo under Tancred, who
left him in command of 200 knights
to defend Jerusalem (Ord. Yitalis,
755). Ho had two sons, Humphry
and "William Bigot, who witnessed
a charter of AYilliam, sou of Foger ,
15., for Thetford (Mon.). Faymond
B., son of Humphry, held one fee
in Sutlblk, llGo (Lib. Nig.). Wil-
liam his grandson (Blomefleld, ii.
258) was father of Bartholomew,
who was despoiled of his goods at
Iiunmow and Alfreton, t. Henry HL
His grandson, Sir Falph Bigot of
IJunmow, M,P. for Essex, had issue
1, Y\'alter, whose line terminated in
coheiresses, t. Henry IV. ; 2, John,

Malet, a well-known Norman
baronial family, Barons of Gerardi-

Gerard, a Soandin avian prince, one
of the companions of Eollo, who
pave his name to his fief. Maleth,
his sou or grandson, was father of
r.obert Malet, who c. 900 united
with Osberne de Longueville, "Wil-
liam de Ereteuil, Gilbert dc Menlll,
and others in giving the Church of
Pictariville to religious uses. The
gift wp.s confirmed by his family
(Gall. Christ, xi. ; "instr. l-:;0).
^^ illiam Maleth, whoso name is
conspicuous in the history of the
CoDquest, -witnessed a charter before

IKTiltou, from several Eusjrliih h>-
calitie?. Sometimes a contraction
of Middltton, as in the case of the
poet Milton. Professor Masson, in
his Life of John Milton the poet,
shows that John Milton his father,
a scrivener in London 1G03, was son
ofRichuvJ >r., of Stanton .St. .lolin,
Oxfordshire, living 1077, son of
Henry >r., of the same place, who
d. looS. He also renuali.s that it
has been found impo^.<ible to con-
nect the name with any place calkd
Milton in Oxford or Berlcs; and
cites the statement of the poet, that
ho was born of 'an honest and hc-
uourable .«tock,' i.e. of a ;^ood famil}-.
The name of Milton was however
only an abbreviation (<if whicli wf
have many othtr example?!, -uch as
Miltnn AbbiusDor-':-!, formerly Mid-
dleton); and Middb^tou, ( ixfurd-
shire (the original of Milton !, was
the baronial estate of the X'-'rman
family of De CamviHe, whose arms,
a doubh-headed spread eagle, were I
832
borne by the poet as his paternal
coat, conilrmed by Segar the lierald,
t. Charles I. He was therefore, on
the cvideuce of name and arms, one
of the De Camvilles.
Camville or Campville was in the
Cotentin, and t. William I. "William
de C. was a benefactor of the Church
of Jumieges (Mon. Angl. ii. 078).
liichard de C. his son, snrnamed
Poignant, had a grant of Middeltune
and Godendune, Oxford, in barony.
William de C, his brother, whose
son occurs as Hugh Fitz-William,
held Godintime from him 10S6
(Doraesd.). The Camvilles of Mil-
ton appear continually in the subse-
quent records. Gerard de C, baron
of Milton, had three sons: 1. Ri-
chard, whose d. and heir carried the
barony to William Longespee, c.
ll'30. -2. Thoma=, d. s, p. 3. Ge-
rard, living 1205 (Hardy, Obi. et
fin. 211). The latter was probabl\'
ancestor of the Miltons, of whom
Roger de Milton was security for an
M.P. for the adjacent county of
i:.-dt'.rd 1318, while in 1322 R^ilph
•le Milton occurs in Oxford.shire
(PPW). In 1310 John de .Middle-
ton or Milton wa.s a juror in Oxford-
shire (Nonar. Inq.). In 1428 John
de Milton held Burnhara, Bucks,
and 1433 Roger de^M. was returned as
one of the gentry of Oxfordshire, and
in 1437 was an assessor and collector
of Parliamentary aids in that county.
The family is said to have sutiered
during the Wars of the Roses. In
lo2() Henry Middletou (Milton) was
rector of Marden, Bucks, and lo34
.rohn Middleton was sub-prior of
Bi.?'^ster, Oxfordshire. These eccle-
siastics were probably uncles of
Henry Milton of Stanton St. John,
the poet's great grandfather, and

WewtoE. It appears from Sir
Da-\id Brewster's Lif,- of the great
philosopher, that according to a
statement verified by the latter, he
•■was the son of Isaac Xewtou of
Woolsthorpe, Lincoln, Esq., and
was fifth in descent from John X.
of Westby in Basingthorpe, Lin-
coln, who, judtring from the dates,
was probably born c. 1470.
The earlier history has been dis-
puted ; but none of the origins
assigned to the f.iuiily have anv
evidence in their favour, except that
from the X.9 of Barr's Court.
Gloucester, whose npreseutative en-
tailed his estates and baronetcy nn
the Xewtons of Gonnerby, Lincoln
(who were certainly of tin; eauie
family as Sir Isaac Xewton^. Lord
8U
Monsoa, however, has shown that
the similtirity of name to that of the
family cf Barr's Court was merely
accidental, and that there was no
relationship (Xotes and Queries, i.
190, 3d Series). The arrangement
arose from a mortgage.
The family of Xcwton was of far
older standing in Lincoln; it had
formerly been of considerable im-
portance, but its estates had in a

Xewton was between Foikingham
and Sleaford, a few miles from
West by, Gormerby, and Wools-
thoipe, the later seats of the family,
the direct ancestor of which was
William Pesson, or Peisson, a Xor-
nian, whose estates lay in the Caux,
and who in 10S6 held Xeuton from
Odo Arbalister. Of this estate
Ouvesby, Uvesby, or Osbornby, and
Trikingham (which are adjacent),
appear to have been members. He
also possessed Bottingdon, Lincoln,
where he made grants to the Knights
Templars (Mon. Ang. ii. 535).
Ingelram Peisson, his son, t. Henry
L (TSIon. Angl. i. 773) appears to
have acquired other lands at Xeuton,
Trikingham, and in Lincoln by
grant from De Craon, and Do la
Haye.
Keginald de Xeuton or Xiweton
and Alan Pescams (Pesson) his
brother, held in llGo a knight's fee
by ancient tenure from De la Haye
(Lib. Xig.), and granted lands to
Barlings Abbey, Lincoln Qlon. ii.

Pelham, or Do Bee, from Bec-

This fornily descended from a brother
of A\islec or Oskc, Barou of Brique-
bec, Anifrid the Pane, c. 940 (see
MiTFOKJ)). Gilbert surnamed Crcs-
piii, Baron of Bee and Castellan
of Tillieres, had issue "William de
Bee, who had, 1, Goisfrid de. Bee,
a great baron in Herts lOSG: 2,
Gilbert, Abbot of Westminster; 3,
Ralph.
Pvalph de Bee held Pelham wid
Eldeberie, Herts, from the see of
Loudon lOSO, other estates Herts
from his brother Goisfrid, and in
Cambridge estates fr'->m Picot de
Cambridge (Domesd.). The barony
of the latter (Picotj passed to the
Peverells, and from them to the Be
Bovres and Peche.
Ealph had issue, 1, Bolert de
Bee or Bech, vrho witnessed a
charter of William Peverel (Mod.
i, 2i7) ; 2, Alan de Bec, Dapifer to
the same baron. liobf3rt wa-s father
of Gilbert Olon. i. 355), who held
lands from Hugh de Bovres in
Cambridge, which llGo belonged
to his sou Alaij, tlie;i a minor (Lib.
Nig.), Everard de Bec, his brother,
held part of the estate from 11 anion
Pechc and Hugh d- Bovres (Ibid, k
Balpb de Pelham or Be Bec,
brother of Gilbert above mentioned,
was a tenant of the see of London
11C5 (Djid..); and appears to have
been the fast of hi.; family to bear

the name Pelham. He had, L Ho-
lias de P.; i\. Walter de P. ; 3. Peter
de Bec or Be P. About 1172
Ilelias and Walter claimed lauds in
Cambridge, but resigned them, as
appears by a deed of Everard de
Bec, then Viscount of Cambridge
(RCR). Peter de Bec or Pelham
1104 was party in a suit for lands,
Cambridge (Ibid.). He is men-
tioned in Cambridge 121S as Peter
de I'clham (Hardy, Lit. Claus. 370).
The early arms of the Pelhams were
a fesse between two chevrons, those
of their feudal suzerains, the Peches
of Cambridge. The principal resi-
dence of the family was in that
county. About 1273 Pobert de
I'elham and Gec^iTry de P. occur in
Cambridge (liot. Huudr.); but the
chief of the family was Walter de
Pelham, who held from Walter de
Bec le Chamberlain, a tenaiit of
Pechd, descended from Alan de Bec,
Bapifer (Pot. Huudr.). The last-
mentioned Walter P. d. Ii'[t2.
Walter his son acquired lauds in Sus-
sex, and from Sir John P., of Sus.se.x,
one of the heroes of Poitiers 1350,

family of Herbert was of this house.
Herbert, the father of Herbert Fitz-
Herbert, Chamberlain to Henry I.,
was perhaps a brother of Alured de

The early arms, t-^ro or more

Somerset ("of which Puriishead was

tances. He made conqu-jsts in AVales
c. lOfO, which lii.^ family afterwards
l::ld. lie had, 1. Peter do St. Maur,
vrlio granted Porti.-head to the IR'.s-

"William, who inherited the AVelsh
barony, and t. Stephen granted four

Ivadwalli Olon. i. 42o). This raar-
clier barony was recom^uered soon
after by the AVcl^h. His :-on Thomas

fr. Ill Humphry ile P.nliun in "Wilts
(Lib. Niger), and had issue Baj.-

conquered Woundy and Penhow,
Monmouth, from the "WeLsh about

Shakspeare. The immediate an-
cesuy of AVilliam Shakspeare, the
•' po^t, has been carefully investigated
j by Mr. Halliwell, in" the Life of
j Shak.speare prefixed to his works,
j The family had been one of the
I middle class. John S., the poet's
I father, combined agricultural and
j comm.ercial employments at Strat-
1 ford, where he settled c. looO. Ri-
I chard S., father of John, with
i Henry, bis brother, were occupants
I of land at SnitterGeld, two miles
j north of Stratford. Prior to this,
i the family had bpon resident eight
j or ten miles further north, in the ad-
joining parishes of Rowington, Pack-
wood, and AA'roxa 11. Amongst others
! of the family, Isabella Shakspeare
j occurs in loOl, as Prioress of Wrox-
j all; Richard, of the same palish,
I probably c, 1464; John, of Rowin;,'-
i ton, i4"<34 ; and Richard, of AVol-
■ diche, or Oldish, in Temple BaWtll,
; who had died before 1460 (Ilulli-
' well). From these facts wa may
infer, that the family were reated iu
that vicinity temp. Henry \I., and
' probably for some time previously.

S II A
SUA
Of an}- earlier menliou of the uanie
of Shakes;v'are ia "Warwick or el.se-
wbore in England, I have found no
trace. There Is ahacuno in the pul>
lications of the Record Counnission
after the time of Edward IT,, and
I have failed to find early subsidy
rolls referring to that vicinity in
^^"arwick.
While, however, we lose yipht of
thi^ family iu England in the loth
century, .a light is inciilontally
thro-^m en the suhject by the re-
cords of Normandy tliree cvnturies
before, where we should have little
anticipated the existence of the
name.
The name of ' Sacespe':>,' or ' Salce-
espee,' which occurs several times
in the Norman records 11>0-1200,
appear.s to have been a French form
of the same name as * Shakspeare.'
It appears from the Great U'dls
of the Exchequer, Normandy, thnt
In IK'o Roger Sa];e cspee paid a
fine of 10s. in the bailifry of tlie
Caux, near Lillebonne. In 110-^
\N'illhun Sake esp-:o occurs in the
same bailifry.
In 1105 William Sake espee owed
two marks as security f"r Regiu;i!d
le Blaier in the bailifry -'f Hiisni>-s.
In 1203 Roger Sac espee paid a
fme in the bailifry of Coutances, and
Godfrev Sac espee ancthpr line at the
same time and place (MRS).
The name of Sac e~pee or S;jke
spee, thus found in Normandy, is one
which, although it« terniin^tiMn is
French, can scarcely b- .-upj' '-ed to
be of Norman origin. It i.- impos-
sible to mnka sense out of thi* name,
or to comprehend it c-> it sta/ids.
We may infer, therefore, that it is a
corruption of another name, and an
Englisli name. That name appears
390
to have been ' Saxby,' derived from
the manor of that name iu Leicester-
shire, which, according to Nicholls,
was written in ancient deeds
'Saxeby, Shakkesby, Sasby' (Hist.
Leic. ii. SOS). The name of ' Shak-
speare ' is an English corruption of
the same name, and is nowhere to
be found prior to the loth century.
We have now to consider Saxeby
in Leicester, In 10S6 it was held
in part by Hugh Musard, and an-
other part appears to have passed
si^on after into possession of the
Norman family of ])e Perers, who,
in the person of Henry de Rerers,
were seated at Ralby and elsewhere
iu Leicester in lOSO (Domesd. ) In
1174 Henry de Pirariis, or Perers,
had a dispute regarding lands at
Saxby with "William de Piranis
(Nicholls, Leic. ii. 308) : which im-
plies that the family had been long
seated there. Thi.5 William de
IVrers of Saxby appears to be the
same who is mentioned in Nornmndy
a~ 'William Sakespee ' in Il'.!.'3,
110^; and in 1202 Nicholas de
Saxeby paid money to the Crown in
"Warwicli and Leicester in behalf of
thi> same "William de Saxeby, bis
brother ( Rot. Cane). In 1207 Gau-
frid de .-^axeby gave security for
s*-ven marks, which he owed to the
King iu Leicester (Hardy, Rot. de
Fin. 3'.);i). Thi> Gaufrid de Saxeby
appears to be the same as 'Godfrey
Sacespee' mentioned in Normandy
120-3. The name also appears in
Yorkshire 12>0, when * Henry
Sakespeye,' who seems to have been
a clergyman, quitclaimed land to
Fountain.? Abbey (Burton, jlon.
Ebor. 16o). From what has been
said, it appears that the family of
Saxby, Shak-kesby, Saxoby, Sak-
SUA
S H E
tfj>c>, S.i.ko.si>?3-e, or Sbak?pearo, was
n !.r;ir,c]i of thai of Do Perors ; :iud
llii* iifipears to be confirmed by tlie
B!iiion;-i!. The avvas of one branch
of rerJre or JVrors wore, arurent, a

y-'Ar* for difrt-rciic,-) ; those of
.>L.'tk\-peure wt-re, arpen', a bend
Kiblo (ch;ij;.'-.?d with a spear for dif-
f'.'puce) ; and liiose of Saxby or
Shiilike.=;by, a b^nd cnjrailed sable
(on n field barry for diiiVrenc^). The
family of Perers came from I'orier-,
near Kvreiix, Normandy, whore it

SheJley. This famih', according
to tradition, came from Iluntini,^-
don originally (Collins). It appears
that the old arms (argent a fesse
engrailed between three escallops)
were those of a branch of the family
of Scales, which bove three escal-
lops, and a fesse between three tor-
teaux, John de Scales had writs of
military summons for Scotland 1207,
1298 (PPW), and d. 1302, seized of
the Manor of Chavele or Chevelv,
Cambridge (Inq. p. moiis). Hence
the name of de Chavele, Scbievelv,
and by abbreviation Shelley. John,
his son, was father of John, who
bore the Scales arms, three escal-
lops. The latter was father of Sir
William, the known ancestor of this
family, who possessed ' Chelsey,'
said to be in Sussoa. There is, how-
ever, no Sussex place of this nam.e,
v.-hich is probably a form of Cheilev,
Cheveley, or Shuliey. From this
family descended the poet Shelley,
the Baronets Shelley, and the Lords

Shirley. This family descends
from Sasualc, who held vast estates
from Henry de Ferrars lOSG. He
has been supposed of Anglo-Saxon
origin, but the name does not occur
amongst the proprietors t, IMward
Confessor (Domesd.); nor is it pro-
bable that such vnst estates (nine
knights' fees) would have been
given to an Anglo-Saxon. The
name is probably foreign. Sasualo
or Saswalo was Castellan of Lisle,
Flanders, c. 1000, and 1030 founded
the Abbey of Palempin (Albert
M incus, Op. Diplom. i. ol). His
son Robert, Castellan of Lisle, had
1. Roger, whose grandson went to
tlie Crusade 1006, and from wliose
brother Hugh descended the pow-
erful Castellans of Lisle, 2. Sasualo,
or Sigewfdo, who witnessed a charter
of Baldwin, Bishop of Touruay 10S7
(lb. GO J. Ho appears to be the
ancestor of this fiimily, who came to
England lOOG. From him descended
tho families of Edensor, Iretou, and
Shirley, who bore respectively the
arms of Ferrars and Itidel. Ileiice

prises fiimilies of Xorman and other
origins. The name S. does not

then a translation from I'aber or Lo

at Walton, Sutlolk, from Ilo^'er

name oocurs frequently among the

branch of the baronial family of De
Scalis or De Scallarii«,. deriving from
Harduin de Scallers t. William I.
D
The origin of the name is apparently
not Xorma:i, as it is not fouud in the
Duchy till the tiuie of Philip Au-
gustus. It was probably derived
from Aquitaine, where the Viscounts
of Scales had been of importance
since the time of Charles Martel c.
730, at whicJi epoch they had a
grant of the ruined Abbey of Tulle
and its estates. These were restored
to the church by Aldem.Tr, Viscount
of Scales 030 (Gall. Christ, ii, 202).
Gausbert, his brother, was ancestor
of the family of Scales, which con-
tinued at Limoges 1201 (lb. vi. 200
Inslr.). Harduin de Scales, probably
one of this family, had extensive
grants in Herts and Cambridge 10G6,
and he and his posterity also held
three knights' fees in Yorkshire by
gift of Alan Earl of Richmond (Gale,
Hon. Richmond, App, 26). Soon
after lOSG .Smydeton, or Smithton
(now Smeatonj, part of the demesne
of Larl Alan near Richmond, York,
was granted to Malger, son of
Harduin de Scalers. Turgis Fitz-
Malger t. Stephen gave lands to
Fountains Abbey, William de Sca-
lers, his son. confirmed his gifts
(Burton, Mon, Ebor, 140, 201j.
Richard Fitz-Turgis, another son,
named also De Smydeton and De
Sc<'\lers, was living 1147-1101
(Burton, 31Q; Mon, Augl. i. Goo,
51), The eldest son, Ranulph,
had issue: 1. Gcoffry; 2. Brian de
Scales, who joined in the invasion of
Ireland 1171, Ranulph had Geoffry
Fitz-lianulph, or De Scalers, who
granted lands to Y»"altliam Abbey
(Mon. ii. 18); and at Smyde-
ton to St. Mary's, York (Drake,
Ebor. 504). The succession of the

The Spencers so tamous in Engli.sh
4(n
history appear to have derived from
Odard, a Baron of Chester, who with
Nigel, Baron of Ilalton and Con-
stable of Chester, and other brothers,
came with Earl Hugh Lupus, being
probably of the house of .-Vvranches.
This may be inferred from the an-
cient arms, which were preserved bv
the Warburtons, descendants of
Odard, who bore two chevrons, like
the St. Maurs ; the house of Avran-
ches also bearing chevrons. The
Spencers, however, and the Buttons
adopted the arms borne by the Con-
stables of Chester, the Chivevings,
Eures, Lacys, and other branches of
the house of Vesci or Burgh.
Odard seems to have had two sons :
1. Hugh of Button, ancestor of the
great house of D. of Cheshire, and
of the 'Warburtous, baronets ; 2.
Tlioma5 Fitz-Odard (TNIon. Angl. ii.
7'.)0), who appears in Cheshire c.
11'jO as Thomas ' Dispensarius,'
having b^en created Dispencer or
Steward in fee by Rufus or Henry I.,
to which otfice was attached the
manor of Rollright, with other es-
tates, 0.\.fordshire. He had issue —
1. Thomas, ancestor of the Earls
of Winchester, father of Fulco of
Cheshire 1178 (Mon. i. 807), and
of Thouia.-, who gave Bollingtou,
Cheshire, with his daughter to Hugh
de Button (Ormerod, i. 470j. Thomas
had Hugh, father of Hugh the Jus-
ticiary, father of Hugh, Earl of
Winchester ; 2. Geoflry, who appears
in Cheshire llo<J Olun. i. 0S7), and
who was Joint-Bispencer. Ceroid

Stuart, or De Dinan. The Stew-
408
ards, afterwards kings of Scotland, as
Las been shown by Chalmers (Cale-
donia), descended from Walter Fitz-
Alan, created Steward of Scodand
by David I. He was son of William
Fitz-Ak-in (founder of naugimiGn,
Salop), son of Alan Fitz-llaald,
Baron of Oswaldestre, Salop, and
]Mile]iara, Norfolk, who came to
England with the Conqueror, ai.d
whose origin has not yet been deter-
mined. In lOOS, however, Alan Fitz-
Flaald (Flaud) granted the Church
of Gugnan, Bretagne, to the Abbey
of Combourne or Combourg, a place
where a great castle of the Viscounts
of Dinan existed from 1000 ( Morice,
Ilisr. Brit. Preuves. i. 492). In 1079
the name of Haald, father of
Alan, occurs in th.it vicinity, when,
at the foundation of the Abbey of
Mezuoit, near Dol (a cell of St. Flo-
rent, Saumur, of which William de
Dol or Dinan was then abbot), a grant
was made by 'Alan the Seneschal'
(of Dol), confirmed by his brother
Fledaldus or Flaald, of the site of
the abbey at Mezuoit; the gift being
confirmed by Oliver, Viscount of
Dinan, whose charter is Avitnessed by
Alan the Seneschal (Lobineau, Hist.
Bretagne, ii. 1-38). About the same
time Geoflry, Viscount of Dinan,
granted lands at Dinan to the same
abbey, which were part of tho estate
of 'Alan the Seneschal, son of
Guienoc,' which were given with
consent of Rivallon, Alaji's brotlier
(lb. 139).
Rivallon, in the preceding deed
("p. I'-iS), is mentioned as brother of
Alaa and Flaald, and is received as
a monk into the abbey of Mezuoit.
It appears, then, that Alan Fitz-
Flaald was nephew of Alan Senes-
chal of Dol. and grandson of Guienoc.
STU
STU
The latter was probably a son of
Hauio.L, Viscouut of IHnan, repre-
sentative of the ancient Counts of
Dol and Dinan.
The identity of the funiilie:? appears
from their arms. The bouse of I.>inan
bore a fesse indented ; that of Fitz-
Alan and Fitz-FLiald bore fessy or
barry; the Stuarts a fusse chccquy.
Tlie liistorical importance of this
family seems to demand some addi-
tional space. Thf^ principality of
Dinan and Do! appears to have ex-
tended from Alet (St. 3Iido), by
Dol, Dinan, and Combour;.'-, to the
central bills of Dretagne. over a tract
of ninety miles by sixty. Its chiefs
(on whom numerous barons were
dependent) were rather sovereigns
than magnates : their origin is lost
in antiqiiity. In all probability they
represented the patriarchal sovereigns
of the Diaulit-js, the nation who held
that part of Armorica in the time of
Julius Ciesar. The alleged colonisa-
tion of Armorica from Britain in the
third or fourth century is rejected
by Nieluhr, and seenn to rest upon
no authentic data. The Bretons were
indigenous, although there was a
clo.-e intercourio between tliom and
Great Britain. About a.d. 6(X) the
Frisians invaded Armorica, at the
instigation of Clovis ; but in ol3
Iloel, son of Budic, king of Armorica,
returned from exile with the prin-
cipal chiefs, and re-established the
national independence (Morice, Hist.
Bret. i. 15).
From this time the Counts of Dol
begin to appear. Frogerius is men-
tioned f_s possosscd of great power
there in the linif of Samson, Abbot
of Dol, c. 570 (Alb. le Grand, Vies
des SS. de Brctagne, 4-2Z). Count
Loiescan, his successor, granted to
the Abbey of Dol an estate in Jer-
sey, part of wliich had been formerly
given to Samson. ' Quidam comes,
nomine Loiescan, valde divitiarum
opibus obsitus.' (Acta SS. October
X. 7'j6 ; see also Vita Maglorii, apud
Bouquet, iii. 43o.) Eivallon, who is
mentioned as a ' tyrannus' or dynast
of great power, ' potentissimus vir,'
c. 710, restored a monastery at re-
quest of Thuriau, Bishop of Dol
(Acta SS. Jul. :',, 6, Glo). Farly in
the following century Salomon ap-
pears to have been Count of Dol.
liivallon, his son, with bis brothers
Alan and Guigan, witnessed a char-
ter of Solomon, King of Bretagne,
c. SOS ( Lobiiieau, Hist. Bretagne, ii.
oO, {j-2, OS ). About 919, according to
Ogee (Diet. Hist, et Geogr. de Bre-
tagne, Art, Dinan), Alan, Count of
Dol. gave his daughter in marriage
to Ilalph, Lord of Bieux m Bretagne.
About 930 mention is made of Salo-
mon as 'Advocate' or Protector of
the Church of Dol (Bouquet, x. 1S8,
214), being evidently the dynast of
the surrounding territory, and repre-
sentative of the founders, Frogerius
and Loiescan. lie appears to have
been succeeded by Ewarin, whose
son Alan, 'son of Ewarin,' with
Gotscelin de Dinan (his brother),
witnessed, c. 960, a charter of
Bertha, mother of Duke Couan
(Lobineau, ii. Hi). This Alan,
'son of Ewarin,' Count of Dol, was
probi'.bly succeeded by his brother
Ifanio, Viscount of Dinan, who had
six sons ; viz., 1. Ilamo, Viscouut of
Dinan, ancestor of the Viscounts of
Dinan and the Barons De Dinan t of
England (by writ 1294); 2. Juahoen,

amining the fiels of the Earl of

also. The name Iloel indicates a

IS presumed that tMs family do-.

of Dru de B.ilaon, Eavoa of Aberga-

(Mon. .VBgl. i. 590), who appears to
have obtained either from his brother
or the eari the three fees of Tre-
hainpton, Tredrea, and Trelawney,
and coming from Wales would be
styled ' Wallensis.' His sons would
be-Eoger de Trehampton (seated

Jordan of Tredrea. In t. Eichard I,
Eichard Wallensis (probably son of

V/allace, or de Corcelle, of Nor-
mandy. According to Chalmers
(Cal. i. 577), the ancestors of Sir
William Wallace, Regent of Scot-
land, were an Anglo-Norman race,
.who settled in Ayr and Renfrew
under Walter Fitz-Alan, the lirst
Steward of Scotland (see SxrAKi).
The family of Walensis, originally
de Corcelle, derived from William
AS'alcn.-is, who c. 1100 granted lands
to Melrose Abbey, sealing with an
eagle (probably a device). (II.
Laing, Scottish Seals, 130.) Ri-
chard V.'alensis, his son, witness-.-d
charters of Walter Fitz-Alau; and
granted lands to Melrose Abbey
(Chart. ]Nrnilros. ; Laing, 140). Sir
Richard Walensis, his son, in 1220
bore a lion rampant surmounted by
a bendlet, the family arms, as ap-
pears by 'his seal. From him de-
scended Wallace of Craigie and
Riccartoun. Henry W., brother of
the first Richard Walensis (Chart.
Paisley), was father of Sir Malcolm,
father of the great Sir William
Wallace.
This famil}- came from Salop with
the Fitz-Alans. Rlakeway remarks
on the name in the Fitz-Alan char-
ters, as an evidence of the Shrop-
shire origin of the latter (Sherilis of
Shropshire) : and Eyton observes
the name of Walensis as from Shrop-
shire (Hist. Salop, vii. 225). The
family of W. were tenants of the
Fitz-Alans of Salop, for Roger W.
in 11G5 held from them (Lib. Niger).
In 1080 Roger de Corcelle, a
Baron of Wilts, &c., held nine lord-
ships in Salop from Hugh Earl of
Salop, Richard de Corcelle or Pin-
cerna, and. other members of the
family were also settled in Salop,
where Richard, with his brother
liobertPincerna, witnessed a charter
of Picot de Say to Salop Abbey, c.
1000. The family of Corcelle took
part with Robert of Normandy, and
lost their estates. Richard Pincerna
or De Corcelle and his sons took re-
fuge in Wales. After some time
the heir of Roger de Corcelle was
granted the hundred of Frome, So-
merset ; and Richard AValensis (or
de Corcelle), returning from Wales,
obtained from the Fitz-Alans the
fief of Ta-ssley, Salop, which had be-
longed Lo his father. He in 1120-2G
witnessed a charter of Ranulph, E.
4^i7
WAL
of Cbesier pion. i. 2G0). Eicliard
"\V., his son, is mentionod (IMou. i.
4G1) as witnessing a charter of Bsa-
trix de Say. ■ William Walensis, his
brother, founded the Scottish family.
See ClirucnTLl..
The )-ein;irkable fact with regard
to the two branches of the Cor^elle
family iu Somerset aiij Salop is,
that while the latter (as appears
from the arms borne by ^^'alt■u.si3
in Sootlaud) bore a lion rampant de-
brui^ed by a bendlet, the former (as
appears by the arms which de-
scendod to ta^j great Duke of Marl-
borough; bor 3 the very same arms 5
merely varied in tincture. The two
branches thus seem to have been
armonally identified in the 12th
century.

states that Sir Erancis Wabingham,

descended from Thomas W,, who
removed from Norfulk to Kent, and
d. c. l-loO (vii. 270), whose ancestor
Sir Pvichard W., of Norfolk, t. Ed-
w>ivd HI. was sou of Thomas, son of
Sir Piichard, a Justiciary in Norfolk
1001, whose father, Piehard. b:;d
lived t. Henry HI. The latter ■was
prob;ili\v a son of Y\'iraara de Clare,
who died seized of Walsingham
lL'o7, and brother of Pichard, Earl
of Clare (father of Thomas and
Gilbert). William de C. fJso ap-
pears as 'DeWalsingham ' (Poberts,
Excerpta. ii. SOS). This descent of
the Walsiiighams is inferred from
the surname, the possession of the
estate of Walsingham, and the
similarity of Christian names. The
family of De Clare had long possessed
an estate at W., for en the founda-
tion of Walsingham Abbey in the
12th century, the grants of Geoffry

tion of Boldon Book 1183 (Hutchin-

The family soon after assumed tho
name of Washington.
Hertburn, in the wapentake of
Sadberge, Durham, was granted by
Richard E to the See of Durham,
including, amongst others, 'the ser-
vic'3 (or fief) of tlie son of Godfrey

William de Ilerthuru appears to
have been a son of Godtiey Baard or
.Bavard. The family of ' Baird or
Bayard in Scotland is the same, and
originally the arms of that family
were a fesse, in chiof three mullets,
the same arms as those of the De
Washingtons, to which the Bairds
added a hoar passunf. by T^-ay of
diii'erence (Genoal. Coll. regarding
the name of Baird, by W. Baird,
Esq., 2nd ed. 1870).
Godfrey Bayard or Baiard, above
named, held a barony in Xorthumber-
laud in llGo (Lib. Xiger), and was
descended from a Norman family,
mentioned amongst the Conqueror's
companions as ' Barte.' Jordan
Baard occurs in Es-jex and Ilortf.
1130 (Rot. Pip.), raid from him de-
scended William B., who in llGo
held two fees from the See of
London, and was the probable an-
cestor of Bard, Viscount Bellumont.
Another branch was stated in Lin-
cobi in llOo, when Bichard B. held
lands there ftaai Earl Simon de
Senlis. Of this family Dodo Bard
grautt.d his manor of Foliugham

WordswortU, or De Tilly. The
family of ^Vordsworth has been
traced to the time of Edward III.,
when it became seated at Peniston,
York, through marriage with an
heiress (Hunter, South Yorkshire,
ii. 3.34). It is considered impossible
to trace it higher (lb.). The diffi-
culty iu the case, however, arises
oulyfrom the changes of orthography.
The records produced clearly sh,ow
that the name was spelt Wordi^-
worth, 'W'ardyowortli, and Wadya-
" worth. The latter, i.e., Wadsworth,
was the original form. The lordship
so named was in the West Riding,
and the family of De Wad worth bore
the arms of De Tilly (three tieur de
lys), reversing the tinctures. This
latter family (see Tilly) wa3 Nor-

V7yclifi-e, John, cr ^Jusard, tbe
gre: t reformer, vras born r.t Wycliffe,
X.R. Yorkshire, '.vliich had belonged
to his ancestors frop-i soon after the
Conquest. They were descended from
a younger sen of Enisand Musard of
Bretagne (see Burxox and Coxtxg-
eam), who obtained from his father
Clcseby, near Richmond, part of his
demesne in 10S6 a^omesd. i. 309b).
WitolilTe C^'yeliffe), Torp, and Ger-
lington were granted to the family
by Alan, Earl of Richmond, by the
ser\-ice of one knight, Hasculph de
Cleseby was succeeded by his nephew
Hasculph, t. Stephen (Mon. i. 83S).
Temp. Henry III. Hasculph de
Cleseby held Wycliffe, Thorp, and
Gerlington from the Honour of
Richmond (Gale), In the following
reign Cleseby, or Cleasby, passed to
a yoimger branch, which assumed
the name, Wycline, Sec. passed to
Robert de Wycliffe (Gale, Registr.
Bichm.oO),who -.vitnessed a charter
of the Earl of Bichmond in 1278
Olon. ii. 197). He was succeeded
by his brother Alan de Momby, of
M., Lincoln (where the Earls of
Bichmond had large possessions),
where he resided. Roger de Wycliffe,
his son, was living 1319, and was
father of William Wycliffe, who
m. a dau. of Sir Robert Bellasia
(Whitaker, Richm. i. 200), John
Wycliffe, the reformer, was a brother
or first cousin of the latter, as the
name of Wycliffe had not been borne
in tbe family for more than two
generations.
The arms of the Musardsof Stavely
were two chevrons ; those of the
Constables of Richmond (descend-
ants of Enisand Musard) a cross
Ceury. The ancient arms of the
Wycliffes in W. Church combined

these, Veing tv/o clievrons between

held from the De Toesnis in Xor- |
maudy. Hugh de Guidvillo came to
England lOGG, and 1030 held in
Xnrthants and Leicester (Domesd.).
Pobert, ins son, t. Ilcury I., granted
the tithea of Guidoville to Conches
Abbey, with consent of Palph
do foesni (Gall. Christ, xi. 132,
lustr.) ; and in 1130 held the estates
of lioger de Mowbray in farm from
the Crown (Pot. Pip.). He also held
tho forest of Piclicring, York, from
the Crown (Pot. Pip.). He had, 1.
Palph, father of Pobert de NYith-
ville, -whoso brother, William de
Widville, of North ants, 1165 (Lib.
Xigor), v/as ancestor of the Earls
Pivcrs ; 2. "William, -whose son,
Piehard de WichviUe, held five
knight's fees in York from Mowbray,
and half a fee in capite (Lib, Niger).
He -i^ as a benefactor to Byland Abbey
(Burton, Men. Ebor.). Walter de
Widville occurs t. Richard I. QLon.
ii. 934); and William, son of William
de A^'yville, in 1209 confirmed his
ancestor's gifts to Bjland Abbey
(lb.). From this line descend the
Baronets Wyviile. The gallant
Earl Pivers, t. Edward IV., and
his sister Elizabeth Widville, Queen
of tiiat monarch, are conspicuous in
history.
