Moreville: Manche, arr. Valognes, cant. Bricquebec. (ie. Morville, Manche, Normandy)

In the Registers of Philip Augustus (1212-20) Herbert de Morevilla held a sixth of a 
knight's fee in Morevilla of Richard de Vernon. Richard de Vernon was head of the 
Norman branch of a family represented in England by the Reviers earls of Devon; and 
Morville is 7 kil. N of Nehou, the caput of the Vernon honour in the Cotentin.

A mutiliated entry on the Pipe Roll of 1130 under Devon shows William de Morevilla as 
holding land. A charter of Baldwin de Reviers, not yet an earl, which places it before 
1142, for Christchurch, Hants, was witnessed by William de Morvill, who also 
witnessed charters of Baldwin as earl of for the abbeys of Quarr and Montebourg. With 
his son Ivo he witnessed a charter of Richard de Reviers, earl of Devon, for 
Christchurch, dated 1161. By a charter, shown by witnesses to have been executed in 
Dorset, William de Moreville gave a chapel in Bradpole, Dorset, to Montebourg, 
mentioning Maud his wife and Eudo (Ivo) his son; it was witnessed by William de 
Haga. . . . Members of the family, however, continued in Dorset, for Bradpole was held 
in serjeanty by William de Moreville in 1212, 1219, and 1226-28; but Herbert the 
Norman [referred to above] must have been head of the family.

Another branch of the family, for which see Haig [William de Haga above was a 
relative], settled in Scotland before 1120 and became constables of Scotland. [Origins 
of Some Anglo-Norman Families, p. 70]
