  Hamelin de Ballon (or Baalun, Baalan, Balun, Balodun, Balon, etc.)(born ca. 1060, died 5 March 1105/6) was an early Norman Baron and the first Baron Abergavenny and Lord of Over Gwent and Abergavenny; he also served William Rufus. Hamelin is traditionally made son of a Drogo (or Dru) de Ballon, lord of Ballon, today a commune in the department of Sarthe, Pays de la Loire. It was located within the medieval County of Maine, invaded and conquered by Duke William of Normandy in the early 1060s, just before his invasion of England. Hamelin de Ballon and his brother Wynebald de Ballon appear first to have come to England during the reign of William II. Hamelin had two sons, William de Ballon and Matthew de Ballon, both of whom predeceased him without issue.[5] His heirs were thus his two daughters. Emmeline de Ballon married Reginald, son of Roger, Earl of Hereford. His other daughter's name is unknown, but she was the mother of Hugh de Gundeville, administrator and justiciar of king Henry II.

   Note: Lost in Time: The other daughter of Hamelin de Ballon by Bevan, Rosie Publisher: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy, Year published: 2010 J Horace Round’s 1901 study of the descendants of Hamelin de Ballon, Lord of Abergavenny resulted in a documented pedigree from Hamelin’s daughter and heiress, Emmeline, which has met with general acceptance to this day. However, recently published fines for Gloucestershire have revealed that Hamelin had another daughter and heiress, whose existence is barely traceable in medieval record. Her modern day descendants arise from English families such as Wortley of Wortley, Wentworth of Woodhouse and Hazlerigg of Noseley, and are legion. This article attempts to investigate her existence and trace some of her progeny, as well as augment the genealogy of the Ballon family as originally developed by Round.

Rewards and duties Hamelin de Ballon and his brother Wynebald de Ballon appear first to have come to England during the reign of William II. Wynebald was granted lands in Gloucestershire and Somerset out of those forfeited by Turstin FitzRolf, and was made seneschal of Caerleon, referring to himself as one of Henry I's most important noblemen. Hamelin was given lands in south east Wales, in what was to become the Welsh Marches, and in Wiltshire, where he held Castle Eaton, Cheverel and Sutton. He sited the early motte and bailey version of Abergavenny Castle and organized the early Norman protection of the settlement of what became the town of Abergavenny. Together with his brother Wynebald, he also founded the Benedictine Priory in the town as an alien cell of St Vincent, Le Mans, ca. 1100. He was already a benefactor of the latter foundation. Succession Hamelin had two sons, William de Ballon and Matthew de Ballon, both of whom predeceased him without issue. His heirs were thus his two daughters.
