Almeric's name is sometimes softened to the French form "Amaury".
The name of Almeric's Lordship was Saint Jean d'Abitot, for the Patro n Saint of
the Church there. His son Urse is our first ancestor in England. I n a map,
Harfleur is placed very near Le Havre, almost directly east, - slight ly north -
therefrom, Saint Jean d'Abitot is placed almost directly south from S aint
Romain (which is very slightly northeast from Harfleur) (Got that?)
Tancarville is very near Saint Jean d'Abitot, toward the latter's eas t.
Tancarville is on the winding, twisting, River Seine, near the River' s mouth.
The chateau there was built by Tancred, on of the great seigneurs o f Normandy
in the tenth century and its position, just at the mouth of the Seine , was so
strong that it soon became one of the great strongholds of Normandy . It is
said that when the English attacked this fortress in 1437 they were u nable to
take it, so they set seige and the castle was held for three months b y a mere
handful of soldiers. Tancarville family shrine appears to have bee n destroyed
long ago, but a part is still there.[Direct Linage1.FTW]
