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-

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-,

detailed  from  the  lre.'»ty  exttuit  in  Tb'Tpe's  'Laws  and  Iii'tifut.-s'  (i.  1,02),

uhioh  i^  afsiinied  t..  Ij  the  'poaceof  Wed:iioro.'  Mr.  IVarsoJi  (TfL-t.

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- 
more.*  Tho  trei\ty  w;us  actually  concluded  at  Chippeuham,  and  AVcduji-re  i.s

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.'

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.

DISCOVERY    OF   TIIF  ^'DAXTS    OF    THE    XOILAfAX 

iS"0  "  ENGL.^XD. 

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

extraordinary  mentr  physical  energies  have  exercised 

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

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

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

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

Iloly  Sepulchre.'  ^ 

'  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.

of  the  Scandinavian,  joined  lo  the  buoyant  vivacity  of  the

Ill  conteniphiting  the  Xormau  race,  then,  which  became 
seated  in  England  in  the  eleventh  century,  we  are  to

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-

such  potent  tcstimoii}'  to  a  common  origin,  merely  the 
meinori.ils  of  a  race  that  has  long  pa-sed  away,  and  to

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

A  close  examination  wu'^  immediately  instituted  into  the

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.

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

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 


THE   NOEMAN   PEOPLE  23 

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

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 
existing  funih'es  A\ith  tlieir  Xornian  or  Saxon  ancestors, 
tlianks  to    tlie  extensive   collections    above   referred  to.

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

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-

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.

been  led  by  curioiily  from  time  to  time  to  tuni  to  the 
Tost  Office  Directory  of  London,  as  containing  the  largest 
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

his  then  opinion,  liavo  been  equivalent  to  a  complete 
rccoveiy  of  the  Anglo-Norman  race. 

With  such  sentiments  the  author  commenced  a  new 
ta-k  whi(  1i  he  prescribc-d  to  himself — the  examination 
t>r  all  the  surnames  of  the  London  Directory,  in  the  liope 
of  cumpleting  his  li>ts  of  extant  Norman  names.  Every 
surname  was  to  be  examined  :  they  amounted  to  nearly

3^  THE  XOKMAN   PEOl'LE 

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

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

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

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 
London  Direote-ry  is  not  more  Noinian  in  cliaracter  than 
the  ])irectory  of  all  JCngland  would  be,  but  that  the  same

iiif.^r  furllier  that  about  22,500  surnames  in  England  are 
at  this  moment  Norman. 

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. 

The  author  has  stated  the  above  numbers  on  the 
assumption  that  his  mode  of  identifying  Noruian  surnames 
in  the  following  alphabetical  li<ts  will,  on  the  whole, 
prove  to  be  correct.  lie  cannot  pretend  to  hope  tliat  in

He  trusts,  also,  tliat  the  maiu  principles  ou  which  the 
inquiry  lias  proceeded,  and  which  will  bo  separately  con- 
sidered,^ will  Ijc  admitted  to  be  suuud. 

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 
legend  or  imagination.  The  author,  from  the  conuncncc-

families  to  iimQs  preceding  tlie  dates  when  their  present  sur- 
names commenced.  Ilis  subsequent  inquiries  have  disclosed 
liumerous  cases  in  which  the  later  Eng]i^h  local  surname 
was  merely  the  substitute  for  an  earlier  Xorman  name. 

Tlie  writer  has,  thcrefene,  his  own  experience,  and 
nothing  but  liis  own  experience,  to  guide  him  in  forminif 
an  e.-timatc  of  the  numbers  of  tliose  existing  local  surnames 
wlii<-]i  may  concciil  Xorman  families.  That  estimate 
may  be,  jicrhajjs,  suppo.-cd  to  be  founded  on  too  limited 
an  induction.  He  admits  that  the  investigation  of 
sometliing  like  two  hundred  and  fifty  local  surnames  is  a 
.somewhat  nair.»w  ba-is  on  which  to  found  an  inference, 
and  lie  can,  tlierotbre,  uiily  ^ay,  val'Mt  quantum. 

J  lis  experience,  however  (whatever  it  may  be  wortli), 
is  tliis.  In  seven  cases  out  of  eight  (when  the  origir. 
can  be  ascertained)  it  is  Xorman  :  in  tlie  eiglitli  it  is 
Celtic,  Saxon,  ur  Daui-lj.'  Tlie  author  dues  not  })retend 
to  say  that  the  snme  Enghsh  names  borne  by  Xorman 
families  may  not  lia\e  been  equally  borne  by  other 
families  that  were  nut  Norman.  It  would  be  diflicult  to

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

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.

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

CRITICISM    OF    lAMlLV    IIISTOIJY. 

It  may  be  supposed,  perliaps,  that  any  revision  or  re-

superfluous  and  ])r«.-umj)tuou.> — that  hii'ge  classes  of  facts

from  criticism.  Such  an  opinion,  howt-vcr,  can  only  be

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

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

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

-.  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.

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

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.

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,

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

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.

indi\icliial  of  whose  existence  there  is  not  the  slightest

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

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

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

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

to  all  students  of  thf  Xorman  histoiians,  and  especially  of

facts,  it  can  be  imagined  that  William  of  iVrques  and  his

indeed  seem  strange.     There  wa.  a  AVilliam  of  Arques

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 
have  been  the  ancestor  referred  to ;  but  the  term  is 
usually  in  Domesday  em[)loyed  in  the  sense  of  '  ])rede- 
cessor,'  or  '  foi"mer  o\\  ncr,'  and  thus  is  of  no  value  towards 
establishing  relationship.  Domesday  Book  knows  nothino- 
of  Other  ;  and  there  is  every  reason  to  conclude  that  he,

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,

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-

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 

*  The  American  Directories  are  in  many  in;tances  .so  filled  A\ith  English 
namea  that  ^v^  are  aln-.o^t  uncnnscioui  that  they  belong  to  a  dilTfront  country.

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

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-

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.

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^^

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

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

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-

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

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.

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

ainouulcd  to  nearly  a  million  at  the  Norman  Conquest, 
or  half  the  estimated  number  of  the  then  population  of 
England.  It  may  pos^ib!y  liave  bceii  somewhat  smaUer 
in  point  of  number,  but  it  must  have  approxhnated  to 
wh-dl  has  been  stated, 

Tlic  Kormau  population,  thus  numbeiiug  perhaps  a 
Dn'llion,  or  nearly  so,  consisted  of  upper  and  lovrer  classes: 
the  fornier  included  barons  and  blights.  We  have  an 
o/Ticial  statement  of  the  number  of  kniglits'  fov:}  held  in 
Normandy  in  the  reign  of  Uenry  II/  Tl^ey  amounted 
to  twelve  hundred  altogether,  exclusive  of  knights'  fees

was  probably  a  larger  number  than  that  of  the  baronage 
in  the  reign  of  the  Conqueror.  The  number  of  di^t^rct

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

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

tocracy ill  Euglaud,  and  abound  in  every  page  in  Norman 
names,  and  llie  proceedings  of  tliose  who  bore  tliem. 
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.

in  particular  manors  in  diflerent  parts  of  England  will 
sliow  the  state  of  things. 

Cloppam,  in  BcKlfordshh'e,  was  possessed  (c.  1272) 
by  five  Lords  of  Manors,  viz.  Jolm  le  Bran,  John  de

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.

/         ..     ■  .     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

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

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

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:  ,

that  the  former  had  upon  the  latter  an  influence  powerful 
enough  to  introduce  into  it  some  new  phonolo'-ncd 
elements,  and  to  preserve  others  probably  once  common 
to  all  the  Gothic  tongues,  but  which  have  disappeared 
from  the  articulation  of  the  Teutonic  dialects.'  ^  Professor 
Max  MUUer  indicates  irrammatical  forms  in  Eno-hsh

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

follo^ved  out,  coii-idcrable  hght  vrould  be  ihrovai  oii  tiic 
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

for  seven  centuries  become  blended  into  one,  long  knmvn 
as  tlie  English  race.  We  have  seen  the  error  ol"  the 
supposition  that  either  of  tliosc  races  lias  become  ex  net, 
though  all  three  have  abandoned  their  original  naui.  fur 
one  that  is  connnon  to  them  all.  We  have  now  tc  :on-

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

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

110  THE   XOKMAX  PEOPLE 

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-

the  Gelae  ^sith  tho  Goths  of  later  times  is  more  than  a  pinusible  conjecture. 
It  i!i:iy  be  rogai  Jed  a-  hi-tnricjilly  certain.  Moreover,  th-i  cooipounds  Massa- 
Getao,  Thj55a-Gcta.?,  T}Ti-Getae,  hr.ve  a  striking  analogy  to  the  later  name 
of  Visi-Goths,  and  C\tro-Goth5,'  Ou  Herod.,  v.  210,  he  observes,  "'It  is 
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

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.

the  ^•ar30us  Gotliic  provinces  extending  from  tlic  Eliine  to 
the  Elbe,  and  into  Jutland. 

The  Anglo-Saxons  were  entirely  Gotliic  in  origin,  and 
their  language  was  purely  Gothic — so  much  so  that  modern 
philologists  can  rc-construct  its  original  inflexions  and 
grannnar,  -wherever  defective,  merely  by  inferences  fi-om 
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

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 


126  Tiir  Non>rAX  rroriE 

of  fi^milics  tlierc  Avliicli  two  ccntiiric:>  since  were  branclies 
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

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.

Be  Beaumont,  Viscount  of  Beau- 
mont, his  brother.  From  the  latter  de- 
scend the  ^Larsuams,  Baynards,  Jver- 
destons  or  Kekrisoxs,  Towushends 
and  others  in  E^u^t  An^dia,  and  the' 
Beaumouts  of  Yorkshire.  From  the 
former  (Hubert  Filz-Kalph)  descei.d 
I  the  Beaumonts  of  Devon  and 
I  Leicester,  Barons  and  Viscoimts 
Beaumont,  and  baronets. 

The  descen  t  is  probably  from  Abbo, 
Count  of  Poitiers,  778,  ancestor  of 
I   l^eniard    Fitz-Adelelm,    fatlier    of 
I  Ennnon  and  Bernard,  joint  Counts  of 
Buitieis,  c.  814  (See  L'Art  de  ^'.Irif.

;   ^vbo  m.  the  dau.  of  Iloricon,  Count  of 
j   Mans,  is  styled  '  Count'  of  Mans  by 
1  Bouquet   (Hi.t.  Franc,    viii.    1.01); 
i   but  probably  ids  title  was  '  ^•i5couIit,' 
i   as  Bo.icon  had  a  son  ^\ho  siiccee.lpd 
j   ns   Count.     Q'his  Bernard,  ^-i^count 
I   of  Mans,  or  Maine,  lost  his  Earldom 
j  of  I'oitou,  which  his  sou   Bernard 
I  recovered,   whoso  son   Banulph,  or 
j   Badulphus,  became  Duke  of  Aqui- 
I   tixine,  and  was  deposed  for  assuming 
j   the    title    of  Kiug.     He  appears   to 
have    retired    to  Maine,  where   Jia- 
dulphus  (his  son  probably)  occurs  in 
OoU.      He  was  a  benefactor  to  iho 
Abbey    of    Marmoutiers   094  (Gall. 
Christ.;     Anselm).      Ho  seem.9    to 
have  had  a  son,  Bernard  or  Benard, 
whose   son,    Badulphus,  was   living 
lOGG,  and  wliose  sons  were  named 
Bjuard  or  Bainard.     They  were,  1,

lost  the  vast    barony  of  Bayuard's

nard, or  De  Beaumont.

Cartwripht,  armorially  identified 
with  Cat-?ryke,  or  Catherick  (Rob- 
sou).  Catberick  was  part  of  the  de- 
mesne of  the  Karls  of  Richmond, 
and  thfc  surname  therefore  probably 
arose  from  teuuro  of  the  oliice  of 
Seneschal  by  a  branch  of  a  neigh- 
bourinj  family.  The  arms  (a  fesso) 
are  those  of  the  adjoining  family  of 
Pc  Smythtoa  or  Eschalers,  with 
three  cicqiiefoils  f-n-diiVerence,  which 
were  afterwards  corrupted  into 
'  ruses,'  *■  Catherine  wbeeL-,'  and 
'  firo-balls  with  rays.'  Of  this 
family  Ilbcrt  do  Cathcrege,  orCath- 
orajje  (a  form  of  Catheric),  occurs 
in  Normandy,  11-0-03  (MRS); 
which  sh'.wd  tho  Norman  origin  of 
the  family.  A  branch  long  remained 
at  Stanwick,  in  liichmond^hire, 
close  to  Cattcrick.  Another  branch 
was  seated  in  Notts,  and  one  in  Cam- 
brid^'o  ;  and  the  name  there  chanj^ed 
from  Citeryke  to  Cartwright.  Of 
the  former  branch  was  Major  Cart- 
wrj-rht,  the  celebrat<.d  reformer,  and 
of  the  litt-.r,  Thomas  C.artwii-ht,

Churchills  of  Dorset,  ancestors  of 
the-  great  Duke  of  Mariborough,  are 
traceable,'  by  the  ordinary  heralds' 
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

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-

Gore,  or  Goher.  See  Gower. 
The  name  Gore  is  armorially  iden-

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.

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.

1001    (Xeustria    Ria,    402).       The

and  received  from  the  same  V.'alter 
Gillard  three  knights'  fees  iu  Rucks,

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.

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. 
2oO).  From  another  brother  pro- 
bably derived  the  Butlers  of  Chester, 
Barons  of  "Warrington,  who  also 
bore  or,  r.  bend  azure,  differenced  by 
the  v,-heat  sheaves  of  Chester.  3.

liobert  Grosvenor  117S  witnessed  a 
charter  of  John,  Constable  of  Ches- 
ter, for  Staulaw  Abbey  (Men.  i. 
897).  Kalph,  his  son,  t.' John  (Or- 
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.

(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

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

county  to  Auville,  Haville,  Ilovell,

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

at  Bowdon,  Devon,  where  the  family 
of  Juel  or  Eitz-Joel  had  been  long

I  ^^'avI^  Fitz-Juel  held  a  knight's

Earl  of  Mortaine  at  the  Conque-t

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-

bad  two  .«ons,  Turstan  Goz,  ancestor 
of  the  house  of  Avr.inclies,  Earls  of 
Chester,  and  William.  The  lult.-r 
was  Baron  of  IV.c  and  ancestor  of 
the  Barons  of  }j..-c-t"rt.-pin.  His 
sou  or  grandson,  Gilbert  Crespiu, 
Baron  of  B.  and  Castelkn  of  Tilli- 


eres,  aided  1034  in  founding  tlie 
Abbey  of  Bee.  He  had,  1,  William, 
2,  Gilbert  de  TiUieres.  William  II. 
of  Bee  supported  Duke  William 
against  the  French  in  3054  (Wace, 
ii.  73),  and  came  to  England  lOGO. 
He  had,  1,  William;  i,  Gislebert, 
Abbot  of  Westininster ;  3,  Milo,  a 
great  baron  lOSG,  Avho  d.  s.  p. 
William  IIT.  of  Bee  had  Jocelyn 
Crispin,  Baron  of  Bee,  who  com- 
bated Henry  I.  at  the  Battle  of 
Nogent,  but  was  pardoned.  In  115S 
he  paid  fines  for  his  lands  in  Essex 
and  Hertford  (Rot.  Pip.).  In  11  Go 
he  still  possessed  Bee,  but  is  not 
mentioned  in  England,  having  trans- 
ferred his  estates  to  his  younger 
s.3ns,  William  and  Robert.  Of  these, 
William  Fitz- Jocelyn,  1165,  held 
two  fees  in  Essex,  and  Robert  Fitz- 
Jocelyn  one  in  Hertford  (Lib.  Nig.). 
The  former  had  issue  Richard  Fitz- 
William,  who  occurs  in  Essex  and 
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.

Of  these  sons,  AVilliani  Espcc  was 
a  great  Earou  in  p]nglaJid  lOSO,  and 
his  brothers  Walter  and  Paeliard 
occur. 

Walter  Espec,  hi.-;  son,t.  Henry  1. 
possessed  estates  iu  York  and  X'or-

his  son  he  founded  Kirkhara  Abbey, 
to  which  he  gave  the  Church  of 
Carr  on  .  Tweed  ( Burton,  Mon. 
Ebor.).  The '  lordship,  however,

AYalter  Espec,  brother  of  William, 
whose  sons  Robert  and  William  de 
Carum  (Carr  or  Kerr)  held  it  t. 
Henry  I.  ;  for  the  former  llOo  re- 
turned his  barony  as  one  fee  held 
by  him  and  his  brother  t.  Ilemy  T. 
(Eib.  Xig.).  ^Yalter  de  Carum,  his 
son,  was  deceased  before  li'07 
(Hardy,  Obi.  et  Fin.).  Thomas  de 
Carru,  his  sou,  was  father  of  Wil- 
liam, whose  son  Richard  Fitz-Wil- 
liam,  with  Michael  Ker  and  John 
Ker  (his  kinsmen^  paid  scutage 
together  in  Northumberland.  This 
Richard  Fitz- William  Carr  or  Ker 
was  seated  in  Scotland  before  1240, 
a-s  appears  by  the  Chartularv  of 
Mfckose  (:.  232).  His  son  "was 
father  of,  1.  Ralph,  living  1330  j 
2.  John  Kerr  of  Selkirk  I'orest, 
living  13-j7,  ancestor  of  the  Kerrs  of 
Cessford,  Earls  and  Dukes  of  Rox- 
burgh. Ralph  held  lands  from  the 
Earl  of  Douglas,  named  after  him 
Kersbeugh.  From  him  (v/ho  d.  c.

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

in  the  early  history  of  this  family 
•  invention  has  supplied  the  place  of

from  Tihel,  who  t.  Henry  I.  held

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-

Malet,  a  well-known  Norman 
baronial  family,  Barons  of  Gerardi- 
villa  or  Graville,  near  Havre,  Nor-

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 
the  Conquest  (Gall.  Christ,  xi.  328). 
Eobert  M.  his  son,  108G,  held  the 
va--t  barony  of  Eye,  Suffolk,  and

to  have  been  a  branch.  Geoffry  de

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,

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 
gi-eat  measure  passed  awaj'. 

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. 
014 )  At  this  time  Osmond  Piscis 
or  Posson  Tprobably  his  brother) 
held  the  Xorman  estate  in  the 
Canr.

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,

Pvalph  de  Bee  held  Pelham  wid

Loudon  lOSO,  other  estates  Herts 
from  his  brother  Goisfrid,  and  in 
Cambridge  estates  fr'->m  Picot  de

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, 
descended  the  Pelhams,  Lords  Pel-

tins,Baronets.  It  is  probable  that  the 
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 
St.  Quentin  ;  for  the  ancient  arms  of 
the  Herberts  and  St.  Quentius  were 
nearly  the  same,  viz.,  one  or  more 
chevrons  and  a  chief  vair.

j  Shak.speare   prefixed   to   his  works, 
j  The   family   had   been   one   of    the

I  chard    S.,    father    of    John,     with 
i  Henry,  bis  brother,  were  occupants 
I  of  land    at   SnitterGeld,  two   miles

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

'  well).     From    these   facts   wa   may

'  probably  for  some  time  previously.

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-

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

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

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

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 
his  son  occurs  1-200  (Htmter,  Fines), 
GeotTry  his  sou  held  Stanton,  0.\:ford,

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.

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, 
or  Junkeneus,  Archbishop  of  Dol, 
0.  1000;  3.  liivallon,  Seneschal  of 
Dol.  ancestor  of  the  Count.-,  of  Dol ;

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.

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.

pears as  'DeWalsingham '  (Poberts,

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-

the  family  of  'Waihington  from  Wil- 
liam de  Hertburn,  who  came  into

son, Durham,  ii.  459 ;  Surtees,  ii.  40). 
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

(iii.  221), 

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 
to  Blanchelaad  Abbey,  Xormandy 
(Mon.  Angl.  ii.  lOl-^J),  and  witli 
Hugh  and  Ilamelin  B.  witnessed 
the  charter  of  Bichard  de  la  Haye 
to  the  same  houso  (Ibid.).  The  an- 
cestor of  this  family,  Baoul  Baiart,

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

(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

Moniby  bore  the  cross  fieiiry  in  a

The    earlier    part  of    the    ^Vjville   j 
pedigree    in    Collins     is     fabulous. 
WidTilie,  Guidoville,  or  Yiville  was  | 
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.
