Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Governing Families of England, Vol. 2 of 2
Tions of the peerage-makers, who will have it that they can prove a descent for them direct from Rollo, and by the claim of the Granvilles of the West, Earls of Bath and Marquesses of Lansdowne, - to be an elder branch of the same house; but they have an undoubted historic pedigree, a family tree which can be proved, as well as delineated, up to Edward I. They are not quite the people heralds make out; but they are of old and pure Norman strain, men whose fathers served the Edwards, fought at Agin court, and commanded ships under Elizabeth's pirati cal admirals.
