  • Background Information. 934
  Le Sire Talebot, a Norman knight, came to England in 1066, in the great Norman invasion under William the Conqueror, and fought in the celebrated battle of Hastings. His name is inscribed on the "Roll of Battle Abbey." Le Sire Talebot, by some genealogists called Richard and by others, William shared in the spoils of conquest and was father to at least two children, Richard and Geoffrey. Geoffrey held lands as an undertenant in Essex in the Domesday survey in 1085.

  Talbot. This victorious name, that has triumphantly withstood the 'waves and weather of time,' and shone in the baronial rank for more than seven centuries is believed to have been borne by a branch of the Counts of Eu, and can thus be traced back to the royal house of Nomandy. * 'The family originally bore Bendy of ten (the arms of the Counts of Eu being Barry of ten), and descends from Hugh Taleboth, probably a younger son of William, first Count of Eu (son of Richard I of Normandy). He, about 1035, granted a charter in favour of Trinite du Mont, Rouen, which was witnessed by his brother+ Count Gilbert of Eu (Forester's Ordericus, iii 452). William Talebot, his son, is mentioned in the foundation charter of Treport, Eu, by his cousin Robert Count of Eu, and was a benefactor to that abbey (Gall Christ. xi. 15). This William Talbot came to England 1066, and had two sons, Richard and Geoffrey.' - the Norman People.
  
  * It is not territoral, no have I ever seen any expanation of its meaning, though it seems evident that, like Talmash or Taillebois, it must be derived from the French tailler - to shape or cut. In later times it was used to designate a mastiff ( a 'kinde of dogges called in Latine, canes sagaces, for the tenderness of their scent,' says Gwillim); probably because the 'beast' of the great Earl of Shrewsbury was "a silver running hound or talbot:' and he is called in a satirical poem of the fifteenth century 'Talbot our good Dogge.' The feet of his effigy at Whitchurch rest on a talbot; and Sir Humphrey Talbot, t Edward Iv, had for a badge a running hound silver, charged on the shoulder with a mullet. [Battle Abbey Roll III:164]
  
  +Gilbert of Eu was son of Godfrey, if Hugh were indeed brother to Gilbert then his father would have been Godfrey not William and Robert's mention of his cousin William Taleboth would have been a reference to a more removed cousin.
