  Historical information about the le Fleming family.
  
  The Lords of Muchland
  The le Flemings
  After the Norman Conquest in 1066 the small manor of Aldingham was granted to Roger de Poitou as part of a much larger holding which included land across much of the north of England. At that time the area was on the very fringe of Norman England. When the Domesday Book was compiled in 1086 Aldingham had been confiscated from de Poitou for his part in a plot against William I, but it was returned to him shortly after. By 1102 Aldingham had been confiscated from de Poitou once again, but before this he had built a ringwork near the coast at Aldingham.
  
  Around 1107 Aldingham was granted to Michael le Fleming (Latinized to Flandrensis, "of Flanders") and it was he who gave his name to the manor, literally "Michael's Land". At this point the manor stretched from Walney Channel around Rampside and Roose north to Sunbrick and Great Urswick. It was Michael or one of his sons that erected the motte at Aldingham on the site of Roger de Poitou's ringwork
  
  === Notes and Sources for Michael Fleming I... ===
  Michael le Fleming, the founder of the Aldingham branch, appears to have married a daughter of Robert Stuteville by his wife Erneburga, and thus to have obtained the Cumberland manor of Drigg, which was held under the Stutevilles by the Flemings during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Further evidence is that one of the daughters and heiresses of Michael le Fleming's grandson Anselm le Fleming bore the rare christian name of "Ernburga." A later Michael le Fleming, who died about 1186 granted the the manor of Fordbottle to Furness abbey in 1153, which was confirmed about 1216 by Michael, son of William le Flemings, who described in the charter of confirmation as grantor's "grandson" [Dep. Keeper's Rep., XXVI, Appendix, p. 162; Coucher Book of Furness, Chetham Soc., pt. II, p. 455] This Michael of 1153, was presumably the son of the first Michael of 1127,who probably died about the year 1150.
