• Notes

  Hamelin de Ballou and his brother Wynebald, who took their surname from Ballou, near LeMans, Maine, were brought to Englandby William Rufus, and were settled in the valley of the Urk, in Wales. Hamelin was settled at Abergavenny, where he built the castle of that same name. Wynebald built the castle at Caerleon. For reasons that remain in obscurity, Hamelin lost the castle and lordship of Abergavenny, which were then branted to BrianFitz Count, Lord of Wallingford, and illegitimate son of Alan,Count of Brittany.
