Hugh de Venables 1315-
NAME ORIGIN VENABLES
This interesting name is of Norman-French, origin, and is a locational surname from the place called "Venables" in the arrondissement of Louviers, in Eure, Normandy. The surname was introduced into England by followers of William the Conqueror after the Conquest of 1066. The placename is derived from the Latin word "venabulum", hunting ground, a derivative of the verb "venari", to hunt. The surname was first recorded in the beginning of the 13th Century (see below), and the modern surname has the unusual distinction of surviving unchanged for seven hundred years. One William de Venables is recorded in the Shropshire Hundred Rolls of 1275, and Thomas Venables, of Buckinghamshire, appears in the Register of the University of Oxford for 1616. The marriage of William Venables and Margaret Bryan was recorded at St. Gregory by St. Paul, London, on April 19th 1573. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be William de Venables, which was dated circa 1200, in the "Chartulary of Whalley Abbey", Lancashire, during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 -1216.

The Venables
The Venables Family (sometimes 'de Venables') hail originally from the town of Venables near Evreux in Normandy, and it was Gilbert de Venables, (also known as Gilbert Hunter), huntsman to the Dukes of Normandy, who first held the Barony of Kinderton in Cheshire for Hugh Lupus after the Norman Invasion of 1066. Other family members became Barons of Chester and of Warrington, and over time Venables became a prominent Cheshire and Lancashire surname, as did the anglicised version of 'Hunter'. The Domesday Book of 1086 shows Gilbert 'Hunter' holding Brereton, Davenport, Kinderton and Witton (Northwich) and Ralph Hunter holding Stapleford in Cheshire and Soughton in Wales. Later the family became Lords of the Manor of Middlewich.
Wincham Hall, recorded as 'Winundersham' in the Domesday Book, was given to Gilbert de Venables following the Norman Conquest, but it successively passed in and out of the Venables family's ownership through inheritance, married and sale over the following centuries. It survived until bombing in the Second World War destroyed it, after which it was finally demolished.
The family's influence and power throughout medieval Cheshire is evidenced by the wreath on the Coat of Arms of the Borough of Congleton, which are the heraldic colours of the Venables family, as do the Arms of Northwich where the ship shown above the shield shows on its mainsail the wyvern of the Venables family.
They held many other lands throughout Britain including Woodcote near Winchester, when, in 1677, the manor had been purchased by the Venables. The Venables family also purchased Antrobus Hall in Great Budworth sometime during the reign of King Henry IV - they resided here for many generations.
The Venables Family have a worldwide website and there are regular Venables family conventions held in England and in France. The Middlewich Festival, held in September each year, also acts as a gathering of the Venables family members from around the world.

Bio of Sir Richard de Venables (brother of Anyll Venables)
Sir Richard de Venables
The forced abdication of Richard II, grandson of Edward III, and son of the Black Prince, brought to the throne in 1399 Henry IV, called Bolingbroke, also a grandson of Edward III, and a son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. In 1402, a Scottish invasion of England was repelled by the Northumberland Earl of Percy. A year later, Harry Percy, his son, called Hotspur, resenting the injustice of Henry IV toward his brother-in-law, Edmund Mortimer, associated himself with the Welsh rebel, Owen Glendower, who had proclaimed himself Prince of Wales in 1402. At the battle of Shrewsbury on June 21, 1403, Hotspur was killed and the forces of the king were victorious.
Sir Richard de Venables, born 1365, was the eldest son of Hugh de Venables by his second wife, Margery de Cotton. He became baron of Kinderton in 1383, and was sheriff of Cheshire in 1402-3. Allying himself with the Percys and Glendower, he fought against Henry IV and was taken prisoner at the battle of Shrewsbury. On the authority of Thomas Walsingham, living about 1440, and the author of Breves Historia, a history of England from Edward I to Henry V, Ormerod states that Richard de Venables (II) was beheaded 4 Henry 4, 1403.
By reason of his attainder, he was succeeded by his brother, William de Venables. Attainder in English law meant the state of being attainted, and the extinction of civil rights was brought about by sentence for treason. It involved forfeiture of all real and personal property and such “corruption of blood” as to render the person incapable either of receiving or transmitting an inheritance. The law was not repealed until 1870. Sir Richard de Venables, therefore, could not transmit the barony of Kinderton to his own son, and it was granted by the victorious Henry IV to his brother, William de Venables, who, however, settled it on his nephew, Hugh de Venables, the son of sir Richard de Venables.

Whence the Surname Blount
The surname BLOUNT was a nickname 'the blond and fair haired person' the name was derived from the Old French word 'blonde', and was brought into England in the wake of the Norman Invasion of 1066. Surnames having a derivation from nicknames form the broadest and most miscellaneous class of surnames, encompassing many different types of origin. The most typical classes refer adjectivally to the general physical aspect of the person concerned, or to his character. Many nicknames refer to a man's size or height, while others make reference to a favoured article of clothing or style of dress. Many surnames derived from the names of animals and birds. In the Middle Ages ideas were held about the characters of other living creatures, based on observation, and these associations were reflected and reinforced by large bodies of folk tales featuring animals behaving as humans. The acquisition of surnames in Europe and England, during the last eight hundred years has been affected by many factors, including social class and social structure, naming practices in cultures and traditions. On the whole the richer and more powerful classes tended to acquire surnames earlier than the working class or the poor, while surnames were quicker to catch on in urban areas than in more sparsely populated rural areas. The bulk of surnames in England were formed in the 13th and 14th centuries. The process started earlier and continued in place names into the 19th century, but the norm is that in the 11th century people did not have surnames, whereas by the 15th century they did. Early records of the name mention Melodia le Blount, 1273 London. Ascelina le Blunt was documented in County Norfolk in the year 1274. Marareta le Blound of Yorkshire was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. George Blount and Isabell Tinker were married at St. George's, Hanover Square, London in 1767. Edmund White and Ann Blunt, 1786. The associated arms are recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884

The lower part at the right (with the tower on the near right corner) is the original fortified house of Sancha’s grandfather, Fernán Pérez de Ayala, built in the first half of the fourteenth century. The bulky crenellated tower at the left is the ‘torreón’ erected by the Chancellor Pero López de Ayala, with the chapel containing his and his parents’ tombs. The foundation stone of the chapel reads: ESTA : CAPILLA : MANDARON : FAZER : DON : PERO : LOPES : SENOR : DE : AYALA : E DE : SALVA : TIERA : ET : CHA NCELLER : MAYOR : DEL : REY : ET : DONNA : LEON OR : DE : GUZMAN : SU : M UGER : ANNO : DEL : NAC IMIENTO : DEL : NUES TRO : SALVADOR : IHU XTO : DE : MILL : E : TREC IENTOS : E : XC : E : IX : ANNOS This chapel was made by Don Pero López, lord of Ayala and of Salvatierra, and Grand Chancellor of the King; and Lady Leonor de Guzmán, his wife, in the year of our savior Jesus Christ 1399. // In his will Fernán Pérez de Ayala had already created an endowment for twenty Dominican nuns before his son Pero Lopez built this chapel. The family vacated the palacio within a couple of generations and the nuns are now the caretakers of the whole compound: torreon, chapel, palace, and their own convent church and cloister, built later to bridge the two structures. http://nltaylor.net/sketchbook/archives/91
