MO N G the Norman no b le s o f the Court Of Edward the Confessor holding Official ap o intme nts a p was Roberto de Den , pincerna, o r that is to say , cupbearer, butler. to the o f King . The origin his name is unknown , but it is highly improbable that it was a t British terri orial surname , as such were not w as t in use at that date, and , moreover, it frequently spel

Den , or Dyn . An explanation suggested by the learned ’ t o f the O f antiquary , M r. G . T . Clark s , his ory Land ” t O f the Morgan , is in accordance wi h the custom day in such t it mat ers , and I venture to offer in case it should tempt some genealogist claiming this ancient descent to a systematic i i i nvest gat on . ‘ “ It o f is singular, says Mr . Clark , that so notable a ’ Iitz a t t H mo n . man as so lit le should be known H is fa her, ’ t v Hamo Den atus , seems to have recei ed favours from Duke é William . I n the battle (Of Val Dunes) , amongst the leaders ‘ ’ Ha imo ne m a no mine was g Dentatum , who led the first line t t of six housand men , and much distinguished himself figh ing hand to hand with the King of France , by whose attendants Be rs e t he was slain . H e was known as De Thorigny, de y,

tw o — Hamo a Dens had sons Hamo Dapifer, a Court Fitz Hamo n Official , and Robert , mentioned by William Of e Jumi ges . Hamo Dapifer, though omitted in the index to - in- the folio Domesday , appears as tenant chief in the record , “ holding in Essex fourteen parishes , and , as H aimo Vice comes, possessing others in Kent and Surrey. H asted says ” Cre v e c u e r o ne o f he was also called q . H e was the judges Lanc franc in the great cause between Archbishop and Odo , and died childless in the reign Of H enry I . ’ Mab le O f y , the great heiress the day , was Hamo s niece , “ and her demand for a to - name and hereditary title as the ’ condition O f her marriage with H enry s illegitimate son “ no t Robert is well known . I t did become the daughter Of ” Fitz Hamo n to marry a nameless man . These two were the Fitz Ha . mo n ancestors of the great Clare family , the friend and follower Of Rufus , was lord Of the Honour Of Gloucester, o f Bric tric to the magnificent heritage , who is said have refused the hand Of Matilda. Fitz Hamo n w as the most noted o f the early conquerors o f u e st n Wales, first in conj nction with J y , Prince Of Glamor t ac c o m gan , and af erwards in the political scheme that was lish d u p e in cr shing that unfortunate chief. The surname o r k Dens Den , ta en in connection with the fesse dan c e tte e o r o f — , toothed band , the Oldest shield Of Dene that borne by the descendants Of Robert the cupbearer— is too suggestive a derivation to be overlooked . The dancettee has already been conjectured by heraldic authorities to be a play “ " o n o r w as the name , canting heraldry . I f Robert de Dena o ne t o f of this family, the tradi ion a descent from the Clares

is accounted for. a so n t w as Roberto de Den left a Rober , who succeeded o r Ranu l hu s so n Radu l hu s by his son Ralph , p , and also a p , who was the ancestor O f various families in Kent and other

t . counties, including, we may suppose, Nor hamptonshire so n The younger Ralph had two children , a and a w ho daughter ; but the son, was the third Ralph Of the line ,

dying young , his sister, Ela de Dene, became sole heir to the

immense estates Of her father. In 1 18 the 9 , in conjunction with her father, she founded o Roke rt de De na . 3

The inquisition extended to the rentals Of bishops and all pledges taken by bailiffs and ff sheri s , and was undertaken in consequence Of complaints made by the people O f grievous Oppressions suffered at the ’ hands Of bishops and barons during the King s absence . O tte ham is not far from East Dene, in Sussex, and was fo r O f re founded the Order Premonstratensians, but was 12 00 S ac v illa Radu l hi moved in by Ela de , daughter Of p de Be e ham O f Dene , to g , because the monks complained the incredible poverty o fthe soil . 1 1 0 Radu l hu s w as o f I n 9 p de Dyna third Prior St. John f o .

said to have been a person Of great learning. Hasted asserts ’ that he sealed with a seal bearing “ three leopard s heads ” - t couped and full faced , but some error must have crep in , as t to here is no shield of the kind attributed the name of Den , o r at S w inb o u rne Dene that early date .

As none o f these were the direct ancestors of Edward

a Putting together all the obtainable evidence, it appe rs G u tin that the Deanes of y g and Pinnock were, as Mr.

Bathurst Deane believed , not of Gloucestershire origin ; but, o n o f the other hand, that instead belonging to the Walling o f ford family , they were descendants of that Northampton shire . Old tradition may therefore be accepted after all as to ” kinship between the lion and crescent Deanes and A dmiral

Richard , a tradition that appeared unsupported until communi cation with the lineal descendants of Edward Deane brought to light their claim upon the Saltonstall ancestry . J ohn Deane (2 ) o f H artley Court gravely asserted that the family had never flourished since there had been a re g ic ide in it .

o r . . Sylva, the Danes woods Dr Bird , the antiquary, tells “ us that the word Dene is Gaelic . The Castle of St. o f Briavels, formerly called Le Dene, where the Constable o r the Royal Forest, more generally his Lieutenant, the t seneschal , lived, occupied an important posi ion on the borders f o wild Wales . — o f — Another castle Dene existed in early times, but was o f battered down , according to tradition , by the troops

Cromwell . As only the site remains, however, it is more likely to have disappeared long before the Civil Wars .

Although it was clear that the Denes of St . Briavels , with “ the particle de and their Norman Christian names, were f foreign Knights , it was only on the publication o the second o f o f volume the Battle Abbey Roll , edited by the Duchess

I t therefore appears to have been a grant from the arms of a feudal superior, and may be reckoned the origin of the sable mullets still borne by those families claiming descent from the

Forest stock . ’ The oars ana c anton o f Dene are found again in con junction with the famous arms o f Mortimer in the abbey z church of Shrewsbury, a church especially patroni ed by the

Mortimer family , but the relationship implied seems to have been complicated by a political feud . 1 2 o f I n 33 Sir John de Dene, Wallingford , was appointed by the King ’ s Commission at Gloucester guardian of the o f goods and chattels of Roger Mortimer Chirk, and of his o f Bo lke d ne s Pe nk e thl Ple nv e nn three castles y , y, and y, from f which estates he was required to raise forces o r the King . This must have been granted in reprisal for the treacherous cruelty o n the part of the Mortimers by which Sir William de Dene was put to death . I t is a singular circumstance that Sir John should eventually have become a partiz an o fthe Earl o f March, as he did, and only to be accounted for by the relation ship .

o f o f Richard , the youngest the three sons Sir H enry de 12 o f 1 2 8 Dene, inherited acres land and rent on St. Briavels, which the Lady Agatha, his mother, obtained leave from the to in ca ite King alienate in his favour, to be held p by the o ne services due and accustomed ; namely, by keeping foot e man in the Forest for k eping vert and venison , and the peace, for all service except wardship and marriage when it happens .

The name disappears from the Forest about this time, as Richard followed H umphrey de Bohun and his brother John

The arms were rare ones , and it was impossible to adopt unauthori z ed bearings ei ther t at hat time or for many centuries after, arms being jealously

regarded as property o fa very valuable kind . ’ ’ t o f The es ate Dyne s or Dene s Hall , H edingham , Essex , o f o f belonged to some member this family in _ the reign t o n o r Edward I I . , and la er its owner was named De Bois, 2 oa rs c a nton c on o ine d Boys, and bore the j , while the place f was called Bois H all .

years after the Conquest , and from whose occupation it passed o f itz N o rman o f o f to that William F , the founder the family

name, about whose relationship there was no doubt whereas o f in later days, when there were numerous branches the stock , it was desirable to preserve the arms in their integrity as the

most certain proof o fa common origin . “ The crest o fDeane of Dromore is a demi - dragon issuant e o Dromore 8 De a n f . 5

from a ducal coronet, erroneously described in some accounts ’ - - o r . as a sea dog, sea otter I ts correct form , with a beast s mouth , a scaly neck , claws, and a forked tail , is carved over the gateway o f Springfield Castle . Heraldic animals have t o f to repea edly undergone changes form , owing most likely the ignorance o f workmen employed to paint o r sculpture f o f - o f them , and the di ficulty obtaining a life study a dragon , ffi ix f n o r hmn . gri , p A gri fin is now established as a creature ’ ’ with an eagle s head and talons and a lion s body ; a dragon has two paws and a twisted tail . Yet Johnson describes the ’ griffin with a lion s head and paws . Of all bearings among ” these winged creatures the griffin is the most ancient . A “ f ” dragon he describes as a kind o winged serpent . “ ” - o f Thus, the well known dragon prow the ancient w Scandinavian vessels, hich is exactly like the crest that f n heads this division , is more properly a gri fi ; and what is “ no t called a ducal coronet in the same crest is that, but precisely the ornamental collar from which the Northman ’ s n drago issued . o f Have we, then , the origin both dragon and griffin ” crest so long borne in the I rish and the English n o f families tracing their descent from the De es the Forest, o fPo ntau de me r o f ? the Barons , and the early Kings Denmark I t is certain that a claim to that ancient strain o froyal blood in would not have been undervalued medieval times, and as “ ” n o f the Da ish raven was the early badge the clan , so the dragon might very naturally have been chosen as a crest by those w ho had to make their choice o f a suitable one when ’ they were first worn o n Knights helms . The oldest known o f f crest the Forest family is, however, described as a wol s ” o f head issuant from a ducal coronet . This was course the o f n n o f origin that bor e by the Dea es Dromore , but wolf and griffin have been confused (see Mattingley) , and the suggested derivation holds good . The name Matthew is the distinctive o ne o f to among the Deanes Dromore, now raised the Peerage fi 2 o fIreland as Barons Muskerry .

te m . . from the Welsh , whose crest p H enry I I I was a ” - t demi lion rampant . As we have seen , there was so li tle - - riffin o r distinction between the demi lion and the demi g , dragon , that nothing was easier than to confuse the three ; and there is no reason to suppose that the other family, then in

Many French Knights looked on from the barriers , and when he had accomplished his vow they generously applauded him , “ o u t crying , Get away , get away Thou hast well acquitted thyself De ne De a n e e a ne 9 4 , , Ad .

s t But as the Knight rode back alone and carele sly , a cai iff butcher with three other churls came treacherously behind and smote the chevalier on his uncovered head with an axe, so that he was slain .

Then the French Knights posted at the barriers , out of kindly respect, fetched his body in , and buried it in holy ground ; and they and his brothers - in-arms were sorely grieved and angered . 1 1 o f 4 5.
