---------------------------
"The origins of the Mauduit family is something of a mystery. There is no evident that they came over with the Conqueror, although William Mauduit (I), the first kow of this family, was active in the later part of William I's reign." In 1086, he held the little honor of Portchester in Hampshire, probably by virtue of his office of chamberlain, and the need to have a reliable official in charge of Portchester castle. William was married to Hawise. William died about the end of William Rufus's reign. His son, Robert, succeeded him in his office and his Englaish lands. His younger son, William II, acquired his father's Norman lands.

=== William [II] Maudit, brief history ===
See "Chamberlains in the Ancestry of the Marbury Sisters", The Genealogist,Vol.13 (1999) pp 189ff.
WILLIAM [II] MAUDIT, had restored to him between December 11020 and late 1222 by Robert FitzRoy (Son of Henry I), certain lands which his brother Robert Maledoctus had held. In 1121/2 King Henry I restored to William [II] his mother’s dower and confirmed to him the restoration of Fyfield, co. Hants., which his father had held of Robert FitzHamon. Between August 1131 and July 1333 (perhaps in Augustd 1131), the king granted to his chamberlain, William [II], the land of Michael of Hanslope in co. Buckingham, and Michael’s daughter, Matilda, in marriage. In 1141 William [II] was chamberlain to the Empress Matilda, and in 1154 to King Henry II. He is thought to have died in 1157/8 and was survived by his eldest son, William [III] Maudit, two younger sons, and three daughters, the last of whom was Alice. ALICE MAUDIT married JOHN DE BIDUN, who succeeded his father, Halneth de Bidun, in Lavendon, Buckinghamshire, before 1156.
=== William was Chamberlain to Henry I, and ===
William was Chamberlain to Henry I, and was granted by Henry I the Barony of Hameslape, together with the office of Exchequer to the King, and all lands belonging thereto in Normandy and England, particularly the Castle and Honour of Porchester. He married Maud de Mameslape, whose family name originated from a parish on the border of Buckinghamshire, extending to Northampton, later called Hameslape. There was a William de Hameslape on the Humdred rolls of County Bucks, 1273 A. D. Maud's father Michael de Hameslape is addressed by King Henry I, in a charter made at Rockingham about the year 1101 in favor of the See of Lincoln. He is also mentioned as once lord of the fief which Henry I bestowed on William Malduit; but Bank's Dormant and Extinct Baronetcies says, "Mauduit marrying Maude, daughter of Michael de Hameslape, acquired with her the barony of Hameslape in County Buckingham," she being the sole daughter and heir. There seems to be no earlier history of the Hameslape family than the mention of the charter in 1101.
