Following tradition, the Mary family lived in the community of St. Com e du Mont (Normandy). There was a Mary Street named after Ralph, first sire de Mary, friend o f the sire of Sainte Marie du Mont and the dukes of Denmark.  According to legend, Ralph wa s secretly married to the daughter of the lord of Mont Haguez. They had a son, Richard I de M ary, or Richard the Old, who is attributed with the founding of the churches of Sainte Come d u Mont, de Bohon, and de Meautis in 950.
