• General Notes

  c) This Roger was possibly son of Robert Marmion, who in 1091 witnessed a notitia relating to the abbey of the Holy Trinity, Rouen, Normandy, and circa 1101-5 a charter of Robert, Duke of Normandy, to the abbey of St. Stephen, Caen. This Robert d. in or before 1106, when his widow Hawise became a nun in the abbey of Holy Trinity, Caen, granting to that house certain of her husband's lands, with the consent of her sons Roger, Helto, and Masses, the witnesses including William Marmion and Herluin de Fontenay. Her benefaction, including land in St. George d'Aunay and Jurques, both in Calvados, was confirmed by Henry III in 1246. The earliest known occurance of the name seems to be that of a William Marmion who exchanged 12 acres of land, apparently at Fonenay, with Ralf Taisson, son of Ralf the Angevin, which were granted by the latter to the abbey of Fontenay before Oct 1049, and who occurs in 1060 as a witness to a confirmation charter by William,
  Duke of Normandy. [Complete Peerage VIII:505 note "c"]
