Notes:

Bertram de Verdun was the name of several members of the Norman family of Verdun, native of Avranchin.

For the historian Mark Hagger, the Verdun family lived lavishly in Normandy where they were minor land holders, and after the Norman conquest of England they were granted land in England.

Bertram I de Verdun
Bertram I de Verdun appears in the Domesday Book (1086), holding the land and the manor of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, held before the conquest by princess Goda of England. In Domesday Book, Bertram is said to have been in Normandy for William II's business, "duc est transmare in servicio regis", and appears in two charts of William de Saint-Calais, bishop of Durham, and King's chief advisor. Bertram's wife's name is unknown, but his son and heir was Bertram II de Verdun (?-c. 1129/30).
------------------

Bertram II de Verdun continued to amass land in England, and by 1128 also had been granted land in Staffordshire and Leicestershire. Hagger suggests that he also had assumed an administrative position for Henry I, and was possibly sheriff of Yorkshire in 1100.

Bertram married de Ferrers, MatildaFarnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, England. Matilda (daughter of de Ferrers, Lord Robert and de Guingamp, Havise) was born in 1142 in Tutbury, Staffordshire, England; died in 1175 in England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Robert I de Ferrers, 1st Earl of Derby (c. 1068 – 1139) was born in Derbyshire, England, a younger son of Henry de Ferrières and his wife Bertha l'Aigle. His father, born in Ferrières, Normandy, France accompanied William the Conqueror during his invasion of England. The family was rewarded with a grant of Tutbury Castle in Staffordshire and 114 manors in Derbyshire.

Robert's elder brother William's main interests were in France. He joined Robert Curthose and was captured at Tinchebrai. His other brother Engenulf died shortly after his father and so Robert succeeded to the estates in 1088.

From the beginning, he gave great support to Henry I. As part of his tenure of Duffield Frith in 1129–30, he is on record as having interests in lead mines at Wirksworth. At about this time he granted the church of Potterspury, Northamptonshire, to Bernard the Scribe.

It is, however, during his last years that he is most in evidence as a leading supporter of King Stephen. He took a large body of Derbyshire men northwards to assist in repelling an invasion of the Scots under King David I of Scotland, nominally on the behalf of Matilda. Little actual fighting took place, but Thurstan, Archbishop of York, won the Battle of the Standard on Stephen's behalf, fought near Northallerton, on 22, August, 1138.

Robert was mainly instrumental in securing the victory for his Sovereign, who for this and other important services created him Earl of Derby, although charters and chronicles during this period refer to him interchangeably as Earl Ferrers, earl of Nottingham or earl of Derby.

He died in the following year (1139) and was succeeded in his earldom by his second but eldest surviving son Robert de Ferrers, 2nd Earl of Derby often known as Robert de Ferrars the Younger.

As with most Norman lords, the Ferrers brought their Norman underlords to England with them – in this case, the Curzon (of Kedleston), Livet (Levett) and Boscherville (Baskerville) families, who held their fiefs in Normandy from the Ferrers, and who subsequently held their English lands from Ferrers as well. (The undertenant family names derive from Notre-Dame-de-Courson, Livet-en-Ouche and Boscherville, all part of the Ferrers barony in Normandy.) These undertenant retained their ties to the Ferrers after the families had moved to England following the Norman Conquest.

Issue

Assuming Robert was born 1062 and Hawise was born 1086, assume they were not married earlier than her 16th birthday, or 1102. Brown suggests 1087 as the wedding date, which is too early if Hawises was born 1086. Children are shown born beginning in 1105, when she would have been 19, and continuing until she was 1118, when she would have been 32. These estimated birth years are realistic although unproved.

Notes:

Henry de Ferrers (died by 1100), magnate and administrator, was a Norman who after the 1066 Norman conquest was awarded extensive lands in England.
He was the eldest son of Walkeline de Ferrers and in about 1040 inherited his father's lands centered on the village of Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire.

In England he progressively acquired landholdings, which he had to manage. As one of the leading magnates, he also served King William I of England and his successor William II in administrative capacities and is said to have been castellan of Stafford Castle. In about 1080, he and his wife founded Tutbury Priory and in 1086 he was one of the royal commissioners in charge of the Domesday survey, which records his 210 manors.

He died between September 1093 and September 1100 and was buried in Tutbury Priory.

His first three tranches of land came to him from dispossessed English holders. First, in about 1066 or 1067, he was granted the lands of Goderic, the former sheriff of Berkshire, in Berkshire and Wiltshire. Then, by about the end of 1068, he obtained lands in Buckinghamshire, Essex and Northamptonshire, as well as more in Berkshire, that had belonged to Bondi the Staller. Finally, after the 1071 revolt, he was awarded the lands of Siward Barn in Derbyshire, Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire as well as further lands in Berkshire and Essex. Also after the revolt, he became holder of the Wapentake of Appletree centred on Tutbury Castle, which had been in the hands of Hugh d'Avranches and stretched across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Staffordshire.
Among his under-tenants were members of families believed to have come from villages near his original home at Ferrières-Saint-Hilaire, such as the Curzons from Notre-Dame-de-Courson, the Baskervilles from Saint-Martin-de-Boscherville and the Levetts from Jonquerets-de-Livet.

Family
With his wife Bertha he had four known children:
1. William, probably the eldest, who inherited the estates in Normandy and was a supporter of Duke Robert Curthose.
2. Enguenulph, keeper of Duffield Castle, who did not long outlive his father.
3. Robert, who inherited the estates in England and was made Earl of Derby.
4. Amice, who married Nigel d'Aubigny, the probable brother of William d'Aubigny.

Notes:

André I st Vitre (born in 1054 and died circa 1135 ) is a baron Vitre about 1072 to his death, more than sixty years of reign.

«b»Biography «/b»
André I st dom Vitre is the eldest son of Robert I st and one of its two namesake wife Berthe Garin girl Craon or Berthe.

He succeeded his father around 1072 and married to 1091 Agnes, lady of Ryes in Normandy, daughter of Robert de Mortain. According to Pierre Le Baud, this marriage was concluded after a war between André I st to count of Mortain. In exchange for the release of the Norman count, Andre also receives six seigneuries in Cornwall, including the rich Triggshire. According to Louis Du Bois, the Baron de Vitré allegedly participated in a war with (or against) Alain Fergent, Duke of Brittanyin 1112, which would have pushed the sovereign to abdicate in favor of his son, Conan III. André I st recognizes without difficulty the authority of Duke Alain Fergent and his successor Conan III. In 1116 he handed over, in the presence of the latter, the Notre-Dame de Vitré church to the abbey of Saint-Melaine. In 1119 he attended Rennes with his son Robert at the funeral of Duke Alain Fergent.

According to Arthur of the Borderie "in 1132, Conan III was master of Vitre, and it exercised authority over natural lord of this land baron André I st. We do not know the reason for the conflict". It seems nevertheless that André became again baron soon after, since he died as a baron, in Vitré , in 1135. He is buried in the chapter of the church of Notre-Dame de Vitré. His son, Robert II, succeeded him but due, in turn, to be expelled from his stronghold by the Duke of Brittany from 1135.

«b»Union and posterity «/b»
From his marriage with Agnès de Mortain (also named Agnès de Morlaix), were born:

1.) Marquise

2.) Robert II of Vitré says the Old Man; also count of Mortain

3.) Gervais de Vitré, lord of Acigné, father of Militaries Guilaume de Vitré and Renaud de Vitré Dominus of Acigné. Author of the so-called "B kinship" of this family

4.) Elie

A certain Eudes (died in 1158 ) is sometimes considered as his son, but it would seem in fact that there is confusion with Eudes de Vitry, lord of Vitry and count of Rethel.

André married de Mortaigne, Agnes. Agnes (daughter of de Conteville, Earl Robert and de Montgomery, Countess Maud) was born in 1066 in Mortain, Manche, Basse-Normandie, France; died on 1 May 1121 in Mortagne, Orne, Basse-Normandie, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
