Beauchamp family

The name of this great historical, prolific, and widespreading family, of which no less than ten branches are recorded in the Baronage of England, appears in every list of the companions of the Conqueror, but is not mentioned by any of the contemporary writers. Nor do the old lists in which it occurs give the baptismal names of the persons recorded, and we have therefore to search in other quarters for evidence that will enable us to identify the particular member or members of the family who may be fairly presumed to have been present in the battle of Hastings.

It has been suggested that Hugh (who is sometimes named as Robert) may have been descended from the Malcolm (Gillocallum) who is claimed as ancestor of the Campbells and his wife who was 'heiress of Beauchamp 'Campus bellus' and niece of William the Conqueror'. Alternatively, he has been described as son of Walter son of Hugh who was born in Normandy in about 975..... more
