Montford

The great Tribe of Montford is represented here by Lord John, Barony of Fian Gosse and Seneschal of Montford. Montford is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Montford family lived in Warwickshire. The name, however, is a reference to the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, one of two places Montfort-sur-Lisle near Argentan in the Normandy district, or Montfort near Pont-Audemer, also in Normandy.
