Families covered: Turvile of Aston Flamville, Turvile of Husband's Bosworth, Turvile of Normanton Turvile, Turvile of Thurleston
| Commoners reported that "The family of Tourville, or Turvile, is of Norman extraction, and the name may be found on the roll of Battle Abbey: but from which of the ten seignories of Tourville, in the duchy, the patronymic is derived cannot now be ascertained. ... (C)ompanion in arms of the Conqueror, and the first settler in England" was ... | |||||||||||||||
| William de Tourville (a 1066) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Ralph de Tourville (a temp Henry I who r. 1100-1135) | ||||||||||||||
| A. | William de Tourville | ||||||||||||||
| i. | Sir Hamon de Turvile of Normanton Turvile, Leicestershire (a temp Henry II who r. 1154-1189) | ||||||||||||||
| a. | Hugh de Turvile of Normanton Turvile (a 1235) | ||||||||||||||
| (1) | Ralph de Turvile of Normanton Turvile (a 1297) | ||||||||||||||
| This is thought to be the Rad'us (Radolphus or Ralph) who is the first of this family mentioned by the Visitation and identified therein as a benefactor of an abbey in Leicestershire, a fact also mentioned by Commoners. However, Commoners & Visitation disagree over the next few generations. Commoners shows Ralph as father of Hugh (a 1337) father by Cecily of Richard who married Sir William Flamville's daughter in 1400. We follow Visitation which shows an intermediary generation for that makes the dates seem more reasonable. | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | Richard Turvill (a 1346) | ||||||||||||||
| (i) | Ralph de Turvile of Normanton Turvile (a 1392) | ||||||||||||||
| (a) | Richard de Turvile of Normanton Turvile & Thurleston (d 1414-5) | ||||||||||||||
| m. (1400) ?? Flamville (dau of Sir William Flamville of Aston Flamville, son of Sir William son of Sir Robert) | |||||||||||||||
| Again, Commoners & Visitation disagree over the next few generations. Visitation shows the above Richard as father of Hugo father of Nicholas father of the Richard who married Margaret Bouge. On this, however, consideration of the dates leads us to suspect that Commoners may be right in omitting those 2 intermediary generations. However, Nichols, who starts with the following Richard (m. Margaret Bouge), suggests that he died in 1415 which may be confusion with his father. However, some of Nichols's dates look odd (eg 1669 given when 1569 would be more likely). | |||||||||||||||
