The Veres of Normandy

In addition to my page on the de Vere Family, this page further expands on the background of the Vere family and the likelyhood that there is a connection to the History of Belchamp Walter. There is no doubt that the de Vere name is associated with local history, both at the time of Conquest and the years after throughout English History in general.

The connection to Belchamp Walter is through the marriage of a de Vere with a de Mandeville, both families that have major roles in English Medieval history.

Maurice Boddy has a page on this subject. Much of which confirms much of my other research to date.

[OXFO361] Aubrey I de Vere was born before 1040 (apparently the son of Alphonso de Veer). The name probably derives from Ver in the Cotentin, Normandy. In the Domesday Survey, Aubrey was tenant-in-chief to the King holding land in Cambs (for example, Hildersham), Essex and Herts, whilst his wife Beatrice held land in Essex of the Bishop of Bayeux. He founded Colne Priory sometime before 1111, and died 1112.

[OXFO372] --- (daughter of Aubrey I) married [CAMV421] Gerard de Camville, and the marriage settlement included Hildersham (Cambs), which had by 1185 passed to Maud de Ros, daughter of [CAMV439] Richard de Camville (see CAMVILLE).

[OXFO371] Aubrey II (born c.1090, 2nd but 1st surviving son & heir, of Aubrey I) was created 1st Lord Great Chamberlain (1133), Sheriff of London (1125-41), and married [BRIO442] Alice (born c.1080, see HASTINGS (EU) FEUDAL LORDSHIP).
