Serlo de Burci

Serlon de Burci was a Norman of the eleventh century. After the Norman conquest of England, he became a feudal baron and major landowner in south-west England.[1] His feudal barony had as its caput the manor of Blagdon in Somerset.[2][3] He is recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086.[4]

He is thought to have originated in Burcy, Calvados.

Martin of Tours was a French Knight who supported William the Conqueror to obtain the Kingship of England. [6][7]
