compiled by Gilbert Cope, printed in 1871 (pp. 12-13):
Odard or Udard, sometimes also written Hodard and Hudard, came into
England with WILLIAM THE CONQUERER, and seated himself at Dutton, a
good part of wherof Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester [Hugh of Avranches, Earl
of Chester (RIN 3101)], gave unto him as you have heard out of
Doomsday-book.
According to "Burke's Landed Gentry", p.1508: "These six
brothers [including Odard] accompanied their uncle, Hugh
Lupus into England, in the train of WILLIAM THE CONQUERER,
their great-uncle; and on the establishment of the Norman
power, had various estates and honors conferred upon them."
The ancient Roll of the Barons of Halton saith that with Hugh, Earl of
Chester, came one Nigeil, a nobleman; and with Nigeil came five
bretheren to wit: Hudard, Edard, Wolmere, Horswyne, and Wolfaith . . . and
unto Hudard the same Nigeil gave Weston and Great Aston . . . and from
this Hudard came all the Duttons. [Cope goes on to expess doubt as to
whether the five brothers listed above were actually Nigeil's brothers.]
Cope mentions that in 1665 an heirloom called "Hudard's sword" was
then in the custody of Lady Elinour Viscountess Kilmorey, sole dau. and
heir of Thomas Dutton of Dutton.
Regarding Odard's parentage, Cope says that "Burke's Landed Gentry",
p.1508, cited above, calls him the son of WILLIAM, COUNT OF EU
(RIN 3830) and his second wife Jeanne, niece of Hugh of Avranches, Earl
of Chester. This would give him a descent from RICHARD I, DUKE OF
NORMANDY (RIN 1308). Cope states that another source, "Lyson's Magna
Britannia", calls Odard the son of Yvron, Viscount of Constantine.
