The Norton
Coat-of-Arms
The Visitation of the Heralds to Bedfordshire in 1622 respited the arms of Thomas Norton.
This means they didn't accept the arms but didn't demand proof at that time. A later Visitation
accepted the arms presented by Robert Norton in Bedforshire. These are his arms.
This is what is also found in Burke's.
However, it does not appear that the arms are rendered on the pedigree done in 1632.
The Herald who produced the pedigree in 1632 related the arms of Norton found in Fulham,
Co. Middelsex with the arms of the Sharpenhoe Nortons.
"In an ancient Mansion Hous in Fulham, in the Countie of Midd. ... the armes of Norton are in
manie places remaining and the Bassingbourne's Armes quarters with theirs. There are
also impailed the armes of Norland and Norton, quarteringe Bassingborn and Walker,
impaled with Norton
Pr. John Philepott, Somersett. 1632
"... The manuscript is a large sheet of parchment, bearing a tabular pedigree, of which we
give the substance, adorned with the various coats-of-arms in the successive generations
and was apparently drawn by the Somerset herald. The present copy was made from the
original, and, on all doubtful points, reference has been had to a copy made in 1802, at
which time the writing was of course more legible.
Perhaps the reason for the compilation of this pedigree was this: Thomas Norton, who
"added the residue partly" married the daughter and the niece of Archbishop Cranmer, and
the position he must haveen placed in, would account for his desire to investigate his
pedigree.
One the left side are two notes. the first reads:
"This Genealogie of the Nortons of Sharpehow in Bedfordshire, beginninge at Noruile that
married into the howse Valois, and came into England with Kinge William the Conqueror,
and was his Constable; whose posteritie, long time after, assumed the English name of
Norton, being the same in signification that Noruile is in French. For the proof whereof it is to
be understood that this pedigree agreeth with records remaining in the office of Armes....in
one book of pedigree, late William Haruie's, Clarencieux King of Armes, couered in Read,
and set forth in trick, as far as Noruile, wch. was sonn of Sr. John Noruile, alias Norton, and
married with the daughter of Montchensie, and to Joan daughter of Sr. John, and her issue."
Underneath this is the following:-
"In an ancient Mansion Hous in Fulham, in the Countie of Midd. sometime the possession
of Thomas Windowt, Alderman of London, and now hoc anno 1632, the possession of Mr.
Williamson, procurator in the court of Arches, London, the armes of Norton are in manie
places remaining and the Bassingbourne's Armes quarters with theirs. There are also
impailed the armes of Norland and Norton, quarteringe Bassingborn and Walker, impaed
with Norton: also the armes of Mr. Hill and Mr. Rice, impaled with Norland."
Pr. John Philepott, Somersett.
On the right are also two notes. the first says --
"It appeares likewise by another book of pedegrees, late the said William Haruie's covered
with parchment, havinge on the right side upon corner written "Wendout," and sett forth in
coulers; saving that in the first book, is Joane said to be the sister to the said Sr. John, and
in the second, she is sett downe to be his daughter, as truth is: and in that second book,
Joane is siad to be married first to Norland and after to Walker, which contrarie as
appeareth by her owne testament, made by the name of Joane Norland, widow, wherein
she alsoe maketh mention of her children by Walker. Now for proof that the Nortons of
Sharpenhoe are descended from the aforesaid Sr. John Nourile, als. Norton, is to be known
that Sr. John Norton had one other son, named John Norton, dwelling at Sharpenhoe, had
issue John, Joane, Isabel and Alce, as appeareth by the several testatments of Joane
Norland and Agnes Wenger, her daughter. The said John Norton, son of John, married his
second wife Jane, daughter of Cowper, and had issue Thomas Norton as appeareth by the
testament of Agnes Winger, recorded in the Prerogative Office."
Underneath is written:
"The residue [of] this peegree is partly added by Thomas Norton, Esq., sonn of the said
Thomas with his owne hand yet estant, and for the most part within memory, and continued
downe to this present yeare 1632, by the informaion of Mr. Robert Norton the elder, sonn of
the siad Mr. Thomas Norton the younger."
Here is the first part of the pedigree as presented in 1859.
The arms are those found on the pedigree chart which seems to be prepared by the John
Philepott, Sommerset Herald in 1632.
1. Le Signor. de Noruile 1040?-1100? came into England with William the conqueror and
was his constable. He married into the house of Valois.

date.

Lord Grey de Ruthin is the younger son and is established at Ruthyn in Wales. He is
summoned to Parliment in 1324 and dies in 1353 suggesting that the dates for the 8th
signeour de Norvile are just about right. He had 4 daughters: Julianne, Elizabeth, Joan, and
Mary. Sir John Norton is not specifically listed as a husbant to and of these, but could have
been a 2nd husband. Roger de Grey's grandfather was Sheriff of Buckingham & Bedford
and the Grey's are centered in Bedford, building Wrest House (which is still standing) just 3
miles North of Sharpenhoe.

generations for the dates. The article now follows the individual children of #8. For our
purposes I will follow the direct line.

Here's a short summary of the Norvile's as they turn into Nortons.
*
Norvile was apparently not a commander at the battle of Hastings 1066.
*
Norvile was a constable/sheriff/tax collector for King William. This placed him at the center of
trade and enforcing taxation.
*
Norvile was charged to bring York and Durham under King Williams control after the first set
of Norman nobles were slaughtered.
*
Norvile recieved large estates in Durham and York as a result of his service there.
Le Signor. de Norvile is not listed on the "Battle Abbey Rolls" as being a companion or
commander at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 when William the Conqueror defeated the
English King Harold. This list of commanders all got huge grants of land in England. That
Norvile is not listed suggests that he was not a commander, but is presented variously as
King William's constable or sheriff. This is often interpreted as "Tax Collector".
Two events changed the fortunes of Le Signor. de Norvile. The first of these was the 1st
Norman visit to Durham and York.
Norton's in Durham
A Norman army of seven-hundred men stormed into the Durham City on the January 30th
1069 under the command of an aggressive Norman earl by the name of ROBERT COMINE
who is listed on the Battle Abbey Rolls.. His men had distributed themselves throughout the
narrow streets of the city and were confident they could take control of the place despite
strong warnings from the Bishop of Durham called AEGELWINE, who predicted their defeat.
The following morning the Bishop’s prediction proved true as the Norman occupants of the
city were set upon by the Durham people aided by a large Northumbrian army from the north
who broke open all gates of the town and stormed through the narrow streets of the city,
slaughtering the Normans as they went. Some of the Normans, including Comine fled for
safety to the bishop’s palace but this was set alight causing a fierce blaze which posed a
threat to the western tower of Durham’s early stone minster. This caused the local people to
fall to their knees;
"with eyes filled with tears and elevated hands, petitioning heaven, that by some assistance
of the holy saint the structure might be saved from damage."
Miraculously the wind changed direction and diverted the flames away from the minster’s
tower.Comine and the occupants of the bishop’s palace were burnt to death and the snow
covered streets of the city, filled with the carcasses of dead soldiers are said to have ran
with Norman blood. All but one of the Norman occupants lost their lives in the massacre.
King William was extremely angered by the event and sent north a second, even greater
army to burn and plunder the land between York and Durham. This was known as the
HARRYING OF THE NORTH. It demonstrated the might of the Norman army to the people of
northern England and forced them to recognise Norman control.
Norvile or some of his sons certainly went to Durham and York during this time because
they aquired huge estates in this area. These estates were later inherited by the Conyers
family when Roger Conyers married Margaret Norton, the last Norton to inherit in York and
Northumbria land. That Norvile was selected to conquer the Northumbrians is a measure of
his capablities.
A picture of Norvile begins to emerge. First he is a constable or sheriff, a position requiring
what might euphemistically be called assertiveness. Then being sent to the border regions
where the previous Norman Earl was burned alive suggests that Norvile was able to handle
hostile situations. As a result of the Norman "occupation", Durham was so devastated by the
Norman armies that it was simply listed as "wasted" in the Doomsday book census of 1086.
Only the most fierce and capable Normans could last in the border lands of England. Once
the locals were subjegated, it was a constant battle with the Scots.
1040?-1100? 1st Le Signor. de Noruile married into the house of Valois. At this point in time
there is no particular significants with the house of Valois. Probably Norvill is in Durham and
York after 1069 but has interests North of London.
1075-1150? 2nd Sr. de Noruile married in the house of Barr. Barre family is found in
Bedforshire by Sharpenhoe 1384 and in Yorkshire, they are found along with the Nortons
from 1616.
1125-1195? 3rd Sr. de Noruile married in the house of Dalbemonte. I can find no info about
the Dalbemonte family.
1160-1226? 4th Sr. de Noruile married Auelina, daughter of Neuil of Raby. This has to be
the first Nevill of that name. Geoffrey I de Neville b. about 1140. The Nevilles are centered at
Raby in Durham. I would suggest that Noruile, Neville, D' Albemonte and Barr families were
those who were sent to Durham and York. D'Albemonte and Barr seem to have been minor
families or perhaps they died out early as there are few noble references to them. This
places the Norviles in Durham and we know that their lands are those at Norton-Conyers
including manors at Sawley and Grantley.
1195-1260? 5th Sr. de Noruile married Jordica, daughter of Sigr. Dampre de Court. The
Court family is associated with Warwick, close by Bedforshire, Yorkshire and Sommerset.
1230-1295? 6th Sr. de Noruile alias Norton married the daughter of Sir John Hadscoke.
1265-1330? 7th Sr. de Noruile alias Norton married the daughter and coheiress of
Monsigur. Bassingbourne, and had Elizabeth, who m. Roger Hill of co. Stafford.
Bassingbourne is found in Essex from 1252. At Fulton manor the Bassingbourne arms are
quartered with Norton in many places. This indicates the Nortons are now centered in
Bedford/London. This is also the time that Roger Conyers marries Margaret Norton and
inherits the Norton lands in Yorkshire.
1300-1365? 8th Sir John Norton alias Noruile married the daughter of the Lord Grey de
Ruthyn. This Lord Grey is the younger son and is established at Ruthyn in Wales. He is
summoned to Parliment in 1324 and dies in 1353 suggesting that the dates for the 8th
Signeour de Norvile are off just a little off. The senior Lord grey is established at Wilton,
Wilshire.
This marks the period when the Norvile's will anglicize their name to Norton and begin to
leave Durham and York. About 1330 Margaret Norton marries Roger Conyers in Durham.
Margaret Norton inherits the estates in York. Roger will assume the title of Norton and their
children will be called Norton establishing at Norton-Conyers on the southern border of
North Riding Yorkshire. From this line will come the noble Nortons of York.

northern England and forced them to recognise Norman control.
Norvile or some of his sons certainly went to Durham and York during this time because
they aquired huge estates in this area. These estates were later inherited by the Conyers
family when Roger Conyers married Margaret Norton, the last Norton to inherit in York and
Northumbria land. That Norvile was selected to conquer the Northumbrians is a measure of
his capablities.
A picture of Norvile begins to emerge. First he is a constable or sheriff, a position requiring
what might euphemistically be called assertiveness. Then being sent to the border regions
where the previous Norman Earl was burned alive suggests that Norvile was able to handle
hostile situations. As a result of the Norman "occupation", Durham was so devastated by the
Norman armies that it was simply listed as "wasted" in the Doomsday book census of 1086.
Only the most fierce and capable Normans could last in the border lands of England. Once
the locals were subjegated, it was a constant battle with the Scots.
1040?-1100? 1st Le Signor. de Noruile married into the house of Valois. At this point in time
there is no particular significants with the house of Valois. Probably Norvill is in Durham and
York after 1069 but has interests North of London.
1075-1150? 2nd Sr. de Noruile married in the house of Barr. Barre family is found in
Bedforshire by Sharpenhoe 1384 and in Yorkshire, they are found along with the Nortons
from 1616.
1125-1195? 3rd Sr. de Noruile married in the house of Dalbemonte. I can find no info about
the Dalbemonte family.
1160-1226? 4th Sr. de Noruile married Auelina, daughter of Neuil of Raby. This has to be
the first Nevill of that name. Geoffrey I de Neville b. about 1140. The Nevilles are centered at
Raby in Durham. I would suggest that Noruile, Neville, D' Albemonte and Barr families were
those who were sent to Durham and York. D'Albemonte and Barr seem to have been minor
families or perhaps they died out early as there are few noble references to them. This
places the Norviles in Durham and we know that their lands are those at Norton-Conyers
including manors at Sawley and Grantley.
1195-1260? 5th Sr. de Noruile married Jordica, daughter of Sigr. Dampre de Court. The
Court family is associated with Warwick, close by Bedforshire, Yorkshire and Sommerset.
1230-1295? 6th Sr. de Noruile alias Norton married the daughter of Sir John Hadscoke.
1265-1330? 7th Sr. de Noruile alias Norton married the daughter and coheiress of
Monsigur. Bassingbourne, and had Elizabeth, who m. Roger Hill of co. Stafford.
Bassingbourne is found in Essex from 1252. At Fulton manor the Bassingbourne arms are
quartered with Norton in many places. This indicates the Nortons are now centered in
Bedford/London. This is also the time that Roger Conyers marries Margaret Norton and
inherits the Norton lands in Yorkshire.
1300-1365? 8th Sir John Norton alias Noruile married the daughter of the Lord Grey de
Ruthyn. This Lord Grey is the younger son and is established at Ruthyn in Wales. He is
summoned to Parliment in 1324 and dies in 1353 suggesting that the dates for the 8th
Signeour de Norvile are off just a little off. The senior Lord grey is established at Wilton,
Wilshire.
This marks the period when the Norvile's will anglicize their name to Norton and begin to
leave Durham and York. About 1330 Margaret Norton marries Roger Conyers in Durham.
Margaret Norton inherits the estates in York. Roger will assume the title of Norton and their
children will be called Norton establishing at Norton-Conyers on the southern border of
North Riding Yorkshire. From this line will come the noble Nortons of York.
1457 - John Norton b: 1457 Sharpenhoe, Bedfordshire, England.
1483 - John Norton, born about 1483, of Sharpenhow, Bedfordshire, England; married Jane
Cooper (Cowper)"
