Almeric's name is sometimes softened to the French form "Amaury".  The name of Almeric's Lordship was Saint Jean d'Abitot, for the Patron Saint of the Church there. His son Urse is our first ancestor in England. In a map, Harfleur is placed very near Le Havre, almost directly east, - slightly north - there from, Saint Jean d'Abitot is placed almost directly south from Saint Romain (which is very slightly northeast from Harfleur) (Got that?)
Tancarville is very near Saint Jean d'Abitot, toward the latter's east. 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 of 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 unable to take it, so they set seige and the castle was held for three months by a mere handful of soldiers.  Tancarville family shrine appears to have been destroyed long ago, but a part is still there.[Direct Linage1.FTW]
