  =========================
  Robert, Count de Oilleia, or Oyly, was one of those nobles who at the congress of Verbun, in the year 843, signed the treaty for the separation of Gaul and Germany;[2] which there is no reason to dispute, for it at once accounts for the unusually great antiquity of the armorial ensigns of the D'Oylys; which were originally a plain bend, and were so thoroughly established to the family before the time of the Conquest, that even then it is proved they must have been borne by its various members with distinctions and differences; for the D'Oylys who settled in England in 1066, and those who remained in Normandy down to 1402, bore the same charge, though the two branches must have separated, at least, fifty years before the Conquest.[3]
  
  The original arms of the family were probably "Azure, a bend or;" and though it is admitted that dignities were not generally hereditary in Normandy till the time of Hugh Capet (A. D. 987), yet this did not preclude the descent of armorial property, more than lands or jewels; and presuming the above Count Robert to have borne that coat, and to have possessed Ouilly le Vicomte near Lisieux, it is certain that his issue soon divided into two branches
