Brogden

The Noble Tribe of Brogden represented here by Lord Jeffrey, Seneschal of Brogden. Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Brogden is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in the township of Brogden, in Yorkshire. The place-name appears originally as Brokden, which means valley of the brook. The surname, then, meant dweller in the valley of the brook.
