Grimbald

Notes:

Grimbald or Grimuald, a kinsman of William de Warenne, both of whom were in William the Conqueror's invasion force in 1066, was granted lands in Norfolk; after 1075 his son appears in records as Ranulf de Bacons-thorpe (the name probably comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for beech tree). The Baronetage of England says "Of this name there have been many persons of great account in former ages; but that particular family, of which we are now to treat, derive their descent from Grimbaldus who came into England at the time of the Norman conquest in company with William Earl Warren to whom he was related, which Grimbaldus had lands in Normandy, and after his arrival in England settled at Letheringsett near Holt in Norfolk, where he founded the church and made his second son Edmund parson of it. His other sons were Radulph [sic] and Ranulf."
