Narrative

[large-G675.FTW]

"TORF, SEIGNEUR DE TORVILLE, a great Norman feudal baron, born about A. D. 920, is the earliest historical progenitor of the Newburgh or Newberry family from whom a certain and unbroken male line has been traced. Probably he was a grandson of one of the viking chiefs of Scandinavia who accompanied Rollo about 900 A.D. in the Norse invasion of northern France where they permanently settled and gave to the country its name "Normandy". Torf possessed numerous lordships in Normandy, being Seigneur de Torville, Torcy, Torny, Torly, du Ponteautord, etc. (P) He married about 950, ERTEMBERGE DE BRIQUEBEC. Children: i. TOUROUDE, SIRE DU
PONTEAUDEMER, b. about 950. ii. TURCHETIL, SEIGNEUR DE TURQUEVILLE, ancestor of the celebrated Harcourt family of Normandy and England. iii. WILLIAM DE TORVILLE."
--- J. Gardner Bartlett, *Newberry Genealogy: The Ancestors & Descendants of Thomas Newberry of Dorchester, Mass., 1624, 920-1914*, Boston, 1914, p 3.
There is a footnote on p. 3 to this entry: "It has been suggested that he was a son of Bernard the Dane, the most powerful of the feudal nobles of Normandy during the reign of Duke William I. (927-943) and Regent during the minority of Duke Richard I. (943-955); but this claim has not been proved."
