Families covered: Saunders of Largay, Saunders of Newtown Saunders, Saunders of Saunders Court, Saunders of Saunders Grove, Saunders of Tullig
Commoners (vol 4, Saunders of Saunders' Grove) reports that "This family is of very ancient descent, and has been clearly ascertained by documents from the Heralds' College to be derived from the lords of Insbruck, in Germany. "Sir Harloven Saunders," says the old family pedigree, "came into England in or about the year 1370, deriving his origin from Robert, Lord of Insbruck, who was second brother of Rodolph, Count of Hapsburgh, and subsequently Emperor."
