Bertram von Verdun

  Notater:

Bertram de Verdun was the name of several members of the Norman family of Verdun, native of Avranchin.

For the historian Mark Hagger, the Verdun family lived lavishly in Normandy where they were minor land holders, and after the Norman conquest of England they were granted land in England.

Bertram I de Verdun is said to be one of the knights of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings (1066). In Domesday Book (1086), Bertram de Verdun holds the land and the manor of Farnham Royal in Buckinghamshire, held before by princess Goda of England. Some historians say Bertram was probably a son (or nephew) of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine. This view has been given added support by the work of historian Beryl Platts, which provides compelling arguments about the Flemish origins of previously supposed Norman families including that of de Verdun
