   Note: The "family of Tancarville" was of Norman stock, of likely Scandinavian descent, originating in the Pays de Caux, from that of the Viking Tancredus (fr. Tancrède), companion of Rollo, in the conquest of northern France. Tancrède's progeny remaining closely tied to the royal family, becoming the hereditary Chamberlains of Normandie and of England, as well as many other crown offices. This family was known as "in the highest ranks of the Anglo-Norman aristocracy, the lords of Tancarville." History of the family The Normans, or Norsemen, raided the shores of England and France, from their homes in Scandinavia. The most prominent of these Norsemen was Hrólf, the Viking. whose name was Latinized to "Rollo" ... Tancredus was with Hrólf and his followers, when they seized in northern France, the area that would become "Normandie." Their possession of these lands were formalized, by the 'Treaty of St Clair-sur-Epte,' between Charles III of France and Rollo, in the year 911. Tancredus/Tancrède (c.890*-) His parentage is unknown. One of the foremost of the Viking's with Hrólf, was that of Tancrède, and being with Rollo at St. Clair-sur-Epte, and receiving his reward of the land of and surrounding what was to become Tancarville, settled there, and eventually was built, at the westernmost extremity of his demesne, on the first promontory guarding the mouth of the Seine, a fortified Castle. Tancred's property was an "allodium," signifying absolute ownership, as contrasted with a "fief," lands held subject to the King or another Noble. From the numerous charters and recorded events of his family, it suggests that Tancreds' properties may have stretched, even at this early date, substantially east from the River Seine. The properties at Boscherville and Roumare, both being very near Rouen. "* It is not known exactly when Tancrède was born, or when he joined with the followers of Rollo, in the raids on the French. Rollo is recorded as having been the leader in these raids, as early as the year 885. Tancrèdes' estimated birth of c. 890, is based on that he was likely 'at least of age,' when he is first found recorded in 911/12. He could easily have been born earlier." The name of Tancarville does not appear until the early twelfth century, first shown in a charter for Henry I in 1103, among the barons who are mentioned as witnesses is Raoul's son, "Willelmus de Tancarvilla." It was only after this that the name of Tancarville is used and the castle appeared for the time in texts. Prior to this, the family members would have been styled: de la Ville Tancrède or Tancardi Villa. . Rabel I de la Ville Tancrède (c. 915-) Tancred's son Rabel I, left his name to Rabel's Isle and Rabel's foss, mentioned in early records. His wife is not known. "A simple Germanic definition for the name Tancred is 'Wise Counsel,' and for Rabel is 'Advice' or 'Counsel.'" Tancred's lands are first shown for him in 912 and it is likely that not much more than the Manor House (la Ancien Manoir) and some, if not all of the structure(s) along the length of Rabel's Fossé, existed in the first two generations. . Geraldus I de la Ville Tancrède (c. 940-) Very little is known about Rabel's son Geraldus (I), other than he was Baron apparently towards the end of the 10th century. . Rabel II de la Ville Tancrède (c.965-) Son of Gerald I. His wife is not known. . Geraldus II de la Ville Tancrède (c.990-aft. 1066) "le Dapifer de Normandie et Châtelain de Neufmarché/." Son of Rabel II. The Brevis Relatio records that "Geraldo dapifero" contributed 40 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066. A charter of Duke William c. 1061/66, records that the Castle at Neufmarché was granted to "Geroldo dapifero." Gerald's wife was Hélisende. It has been suggested that Hélisende may have been an heiress to a d'Abbetot seigneur, and that she brought the fief and church of Saint-Jean-d'Abbetot into the family via franc marriage. Geraldus and a kinsman (likely his son Giraldus "miles Christi" de Roumare), made a grant to the college at St-Georges, at a time before Raoul made his own grant c. 1035, and confirmed that of his father. . Raoul I FitzGerald le Chamberlain de la Ville Tancrède (c. 1008-c. 1080*) "le Chief Chamberlain et le Magister de la duc de Normandie." Raoul was the son of Gerald II and Hélisende. The earliest recorded use of the patronymic "FitzGerald," is that of Raoul fitz Gerald le Chamberlain, a Norman baron, educator of the young William, future Conqueror of England. Raoul is recorded as an officer of William's father, Duke Robert the Magnificent, whose fleet he commands in 1029, and being of the trusted few, and infamous in knightly accomplishments, the young duke William is placed in the Chamberlain's household, shortly after 1040, for his protection and education in the skills of knighthood. Raoul married Avicia Stigand de Mézidon, the likely niece of Odonis Stigandus. In the 11th century, the Chamberlain's family, headed by Raoul FitzGerald, having held the honor of Tancardi Villa for well over 100 years at this point, apparently divided his time between the château fort thereon, with his father Geraldus II, and that of their Boscherville mansion at St-Georges. Raoul is recorded as having updated both the château fort and the church at St-Georges in circa 1050. "... In the quite numerous acts where Raoul Chamberlain, who extended his career until about the year 1080 is mentioned, the name of Tancarville is never attached to his. Raoul is simply referred to by his title, or his parentage; he is Raoul le Chamberlain or Raoul fitz Gerald ..." * "Raoul, 'commanding the fleet' in 1029, would suggest he must have been 'of age' by this point ... A charter giving the Church of Mireville to Jumièges shows that he was living in 1079." . Guillaume I de Tancarville (-1129) "le Chamberlain de Normandie et England." Son of Raoul and Avice. Guillaume was the first to use the Tancarville name. He founded the Abbey of Saint-Georges de Boscherville c. 1112/13, which replaces the college founded by his grandfather and father. Through his sponsorship, it attracted a large number of donations, including that of King Henry I, who gave him the port of Bénouville. He married Mathilde d'Arques, b. 1083, in Arques la Bataille, Normandie, France, heiress of another powerful family, daughter of Guillaume d'Arques and Beatrice Malet. It seems certain that he is the chamberlain of Duke Robert Courthose and his brother Henry Beauclerc, after his victory at the Battle of Tinchebray (1106). He was a close adviser to King Henry I of England. He was a frequent witness to his actions, and also performed the function of judge. Considered a lord permanently loyal to the king by Orderic Vitalis, he was at his side at the siege of the Chateau d'Eu in 1089. He participated in the Battle of Bremule (1119) alongside the king of England against the king of France during a chance meeting in the Vexin. According to Henry of Huntingdon, it was he who commanded the rebel force that captured Galeran IV Meulan Bourgtheroulde in 1124. However, the Norman chronicler Orderic Vitalis did not mention this in his account of this event. . Rabel de Tancarville (c. 1080-1140) "le Chamberlain de Normandie et England." Son of Guillaume I and Maude d'Arques. Rabel de Tancarville remained the only chamberlain-in-chief of Normandy and England until Henri I of England created a separate hereditary office for England in 1133 and entrusted it to Aubrey (II) of Vere and his heirs. Rabel's first wife was Tiphaine de Penthièvre, daughter of Etienne de Bretagne Comte de Penthièvre and his wife Havise de Guingamp. The name of Rabel's second wife has not been discovered. Rabel and Tiphaine had a daughter: . Olive de Tancarville. Rabel and his second wife had a son: . Guillaume II de Tancarville (-1190/91) "Chamberlain de Normandie." Son of Rabel and his second wife, trained and knighted his kinsman William Marshal. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume II & his wife had three children: . Raoul II de Tancarville (-before 1204) "Chamberlain de Tancarville." . Guillaume III de Tancarville (-after 1214). . Marsilie de Tancarville (-after 1205). . Giroldus "miles Christi" de la Ville Tancrède (c. 1015-aft. 1066) "Seigneur de Roumare, le Seneschal de Normandie et Châtelain de Neufmarché" Son of Geraldus II and Hélisende. Gerold is shown to have had two wives, Alberada or Aubreye and Emiciæ or Amicia, the parentage for both is not known. * Roger FitzGerold de Roumare (abt. 1062 - bef. 1098) "Baron of Kendall, Lord of Bolingbroke et Châtelain de Neufmarché." Son of Gerold and Alberada. He married Lucia (Mercia) Taillebois in 1093, as her second husband. * William (I) de Roumare (abt. 1096-31 May 1160) "2nd Baron of Kendal, Earl of Lincoln and Cambridge, Lord of Roumare & Bolingbroke, Châtelain de Neufmarché." Son of Roger FitzGerold and Countess Lucy. He married Hawise Reviers in 1117. . Almericus de la Ville Tancrède (c. 1015-aft. 1066) "Aumary le Seigneur d'Abbetot." Son of Geraldus II and Hélisende. Aumary is described as a "cadet" (younger son), of the family, when he inherited the fief of Saint-Jean-d'Abbetot, in the forest of Roumare. * Urso "the Bear" d'Abbetot (c. 1040-c. 1108) "Vicecomes de Worcestria, Baron de Salwarpe et Elmley, Châtelain de Worcestria". Son of Almericus. Round states that he was son of Almericus and that he came in with the Conqueror and was made Sheriff of Worcestershire. Urse oversaw the construction of Worcester Castle, completed in 1069. * Robert d'Abbetot le Despenser (c. 1045-c. 1097) "Robert the Bursar, Lord of Scrvelsby." Son of Almericus. Robert was Royal Steward to king William I & William II. He was the brother of Urse d'Abetot, sheriff of Worcestershire, "who succeeded the former in his lands in Lincolnshire." Robert was a benefactor to the Priory of St. Barbe-en-Auge, which ha...
