This is the Anglo-Norman Families of the 11th-14th Centuries page, part of the Geni Merge Project.

To join a Geni public discussion about these families and this project, please visit this discussion.

To contribute to this page, please register and log in with Geni Wiki (see links above) and then click "Edit" on the tab above or beside any of the headers. Then you can just type normally. To add hyperlinks, enclose the URL, plus the word you want to signify the link, in single brackets [ ]. If you are not familiar with wiki code, which is quite simple, the main Geni Wiki page has a handy Cheat Sheet you can open or print out.


Extent and Boundaries of Project

We will begin our project with the generation that came from Normandy (France) to Britain in 1066 with William the Conqueror (Guillaume I, Duke of Normandy and King of England). Many of these men fought at the Battle of Hastings alongside King William and were rewarded for their loyalty with baronages and large tracts of land in the conquered country. In this way, these families became the nobility of Norman England for the next several centuries. They were listed in the Domesday Book, the great survey of land and material wealth carried out in 1086.


These first few generations of Anglo Norman knights were also among the crusaders of the First Crusade in the late 11th century on their mission to capture Jerusalem. The 11th century was an eventful time of great change in the lifestyles and cultural experiences of members of these families.


Some, but not all of them, were titled nobility in Normandy and retained their holdings there as well; others were poorer men, who rose to power through their military or political service, and women, who gained power through their alliances and marriages into powerful families. Some anglicized their names over time, while others retained the French spellings and geographically-based surnames referring to their ancestral villages in Normandy.


Members of this project will find information related to the following projects useful:

Viking and Nordic Ancestry Merge and Norman Ancestry Merge for the ancestors of the Anglo-Normans, and perhaps Anglo Saxon Kings Merge for some of the families already in England with whom the Anglo-Normans intermarried.

Overview

A good encyclopedia overview of the Anglo-Normans may be found on Wikipedia, from which we include a few excerpts here:

The Anglo-Normans were mainly the descendants of the Normans who ruled England following the Norman conquest by William of Normandy in 1066. A small number of Normans were already settled in England prior to the conquest. Following the Battle of Hastings, the invading Normans and their descendants formed a distinct population in Britain, as Normans controlled all of England, parts of Wales (the Cambro-Normans) and, after 1169, vast swaths of Ireland (the Hiberno-Normans). Over time their language evolved from the continental Old Norman to the distinct Anglo-Norman language (an Old French dialect)....

The Normans were not a homogeneous group springing exclusively from Viking stock, as has often been commonly and erroneously suggested, but rather one comprising a wide cross-section of north western and central French from Le Mans, Anjou, Brittany, and Poitiers, not to mention the contribution of Flanders. In terms of culture they represented the Gallo-Roman civilization as it had been absorbed and transformed by the Franks....

The Normans imposed a new political structure that is broadly termed "feudal" .... Many of the Anglo-Saxon nobles lost lands and titles; the lesser thegns and others found themselves lower down the social order than previously. ... Some of these Norman magnates used their original French-derived names, with the prefix 'de,' meaning they were lords of the old fiefs in France, and some instead dropped their French names and took their names from new English holdings.

...The England emerging from the Conquest owed a debt to the Romance languages and the culture of ancient Rome, which though long gone, transmitted itself in the emerging feudal world that took its place. That heritage can be discerned in language, incorporating shards of the Roman past, in architecture, in the emerging Romanesque (Norman) architecture, and in a new feudal structure erected as a bulwark against the chaos that overtook the Continent following the collapse of Roman authority and the subsequent Dark Ages. The England that emerged from the Conquest was a decidedly different place, but one that had been opened up to the sweep of outside influences.

...Anglo-Normans also led excursions into Wales from England and built multiple fortifications as it was one of William's ambitions to subdue the Welsh, however he was not entirely successful. Afterwards, however, the border area known as the Marches was set up and English influence increased steadily. Anglo-Norman barons also settled in Ireland from the 12th century, initially to support Irish regional kings.... Most of these Normans came from Wales, not England, and thus the epithet 'Cambro-Normans' is used to describe them by leading late medievalists....


List of Major A-N Families, with Researchers, Curators and Links

This is a beginning, mostly from the Wikipedia list. Please feel free to correct and/or add more. Please indicate the name of Geni researchers or curators working on each family, and bold these names that are being researched. If you would like to create a wiki subpage for a particular family name, with historical information and also other shared information about that particular family, please do so and link it to the name on this page. That is the best way for researchers to share information about the overall family that may be of help to Geni users.

"To Do" list! Families and Profiles in Need of Cleanup and Merging

As you come across any Anglo-Norman profiles that are really a mess and in dire need of cleanup, please post a link here and also be sure to include the date you posted it. Once someone has "adopted" that line or profile, please come back and remove them from the list. Thanks!

Project Members and their Interests

Working in this area? Let us know! Please include your name and a link to your Geni profile below, and tell us which areas you are most involved with.

  • Pam Wilson (Project Coordinator, Curator) For interests, see below.

Curators and their Areas

  • Pam Wilson (Project Coordinator, Curator): Primary families I'm curating are d'Aubigny families of Arundel and Belvoir; de Bayeux (Earls of Chester, de Meschines); Malet; de Bohun (and on to Boone); de Braose; de Tosny/Toeni/Toni; Bigod; Lucy Thoroldsdottir and all of her family connections. I occasionally work on Percy, Mortimer, Grey, de Warenne, and others. If you have any information or corrections to add to Master Profiles that I am curating, even if they are locked, please do not feel excluded--I invite you to contact me and let's work together on building terrific profiles for these historical figures and ancestors.Sometimes it's necessary to lock problem profiles to keep them in order.

Historical Sources for Medieval A-N Families

Best-researched and preferred online database for medieval family relations: The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy Medieval Lands Database by Charles Cawley. Meticulously researched, with supporting evidence for all claims from primary sources, which are extensively quoted (usually in Latin). Please use this database as the most definitive guide for family relationships for the Anglo-Norman families, and please insert relevant information from this database into all Master Profiles as you are developing the "About Me"" sections.

You are encouraged to transcribe and/or share relevant materials from scholarly medieval history books and articles (always providing full source citations). Be aware that many of these are now accessible online. Please see bibliographies below for ideas and for your reading pleasure if you'd like to learn more about this period in history. (Please add to it if you know of books and articles about the Normans.)
