After the Norman Conquest, the family became vassals of Ansculf de Picquigny,[1][2] Robert de Beaumont,[3] and Thorkil of Warwick (see Arden family),[4] when they were granted numerous manors across the the English Midlands by William the Conqueror.[5][6] Although some of the lands awarded included areas held by the family prior to 1066, they continued as manorial lords of their ancestral estates, holding them in fief or knight's fee in return for homage and fealty to de Picquigny, de Beaumont, and Thorkil as tenants-in-chief.[7]

This arrangement is evident in the Domesday Book,[6] which shows the family continuing to hold lands after 1086, primarily throughout the Coleshill Hundred of Warwickshire [x],[7][8][9] and the medieval Book of Fees, which records the family paying scutage for their "old feffment" held on behalf of Roger de Somery, the feudal baron of Dudley and descendant of de Picquigny.[10][11][12][13]


The Domesday Book records two ancestors of the family, Stannechetel (Stenkil) of Witton and Godric of Shuttington, holding lands centred around 'Coleshelle' (Colehill), later the Hemingford Hundred,[14] both prior to the conquest of 1066 and afterwards following the Great Survey of 1086.[7][8][9] Nearby Aski or Aschi of Edgbaston is a possible relation owing to proximity, but by 1086 his lands had been granted to a Drogo of Whitley, a likely a Norman, by William FitzAnsculf.[15] The fiefs in this area of the Midlands, particularly those under the overlordship of Thorkil of Warwick, are known to include a high proportion of English survivors, several of whom maintained varying degrees of control of their lands after the invasion.[4][8][16] The 1198 to 1292 Liber Feodorum (or Book of Fees), records a later ancestor, Robertum de Grend' or Grendley (c.1235), paying the treasury collectors scutage for his "old feffment" held on behalf of Roger de Somery, the feudal baron of Dudley, and descendent of Ansculf de Picquigny.[10][11][12][13]
