Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. 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 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 is said to be one of the knight of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings (1066). In the Domesday Book (1086), Bertram de Verdun holds the land and the manor of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, held before by countess Goda. Some historians say Bertram was probably a son of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine. Bertram''s wife''s name is unknown, but his son and heir was Bertram II de Verdun (? - abt 1129/30). His son 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.
