=== Life Sketch ===
"Avenel was one of the great names of Normandy [France]. The Avenels were lords of Biard, now Les Biards, on the River Selune, in the Canton of Isigny, and the Arrondissement of Mortaine, of whose counts they were the hereditary seneschals. Hervé Avenel, Baron of Biars, confirmed a grant to Marmoutiers Abbey in 1035, and was probably [grandfather] of Osmeline Avenel, Lord of Say, who made grants to Saint Martin's, at Seez, about 1030, which were confirmed by Picot Avenel, his son. In 1067 his sons Hervéius (Hervé) de Biars, and Sigebert are mentioned. William Avenel de Biars, seneschal to Robert, Count of Mortaine, was present at the battle of Hastings in 1066, along with others of his more immediate name and family."(1.)
