This is an oxymoron, and not only because there was no printing at the time. There was no standard spelling of names. Standard spelling in English at all is a 19th century development. At "this period", no-one wrote in English; it had lost status with the Norman invasion. The vernacular only became the language of law or administration - of scribes - again because fourteenth-century plagues created a shortage of people educated in the languages of literacy. The scribes of the time wrote in Latin and in Norman French, usually Latinising or Frenchifying personal names - names which were variously Francophone, Germanic, Scandinavian, or Celtic...or a mixture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.215.140 (talk) 23:59, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This guy is listed as an early admiral at Admiral (Royal Navy) with their sources dating his "commission" to 1264... 20 odd years after this guy's death. (a) That was obviously a different guy altogether and (b), whatever he actually was, he wasn't an admiral under the title admiral, which hadn't yet reached England from Norman Sicily and Genoa.
