BOLEBEC

Bolbec: Seine-Inf., arr. Le Havre, cant. Bolbec.

Between 1067 and 1076 Roger Porchet, Hugh de Bolebec and others gave the church 
of St. Michael at Bolbec to the abbey of Bernay, Hugh's portion being a quarter; the 
gift was confirmed by Walter Giffard as overlord. In 1086 Hugh de Bolebec was 
holding lands in Hartwell, and elsewhere in Buckinghamshire, of Walter Giffard. The 
return of 1166 shows that Hugh de Bolebec (died 1164-65) had held twenty knights' 
fees of the old feoffment of the English honour of Giffard. The complications of the 
Bolebec pedigree in the tweth century have been admirably elucidated by Round in 
the introduction to the 'Rotuli de Dmoinabus'. At the beginning of the thirteenth 
century the lands passed by the marriage of the heiress [of the Bolbecs] to the earls of 
Oxford. Besides the extensive lands held of Giffard, Hugh de Bolbec held in chief a 
barony of which the servitium debitum was ten knights, which passed on his death to 
his younger brother Walter, who in 1166, also held land in chief in Northumberland of 
which the servitium debitum was five knights. On the other hand there are few traces 
of the family in Normandy, but the Norman Exchequer Roll of 1180 shows that the farm 
of the Norman lands was then 40li. 16s. 1d. It is perhaps significant that their 
attestations of the charters of their overlords are all to charters executed in England. 
The family appears to have been one originally of small account which owed 
advancement to the Conquest. [The Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families]
