Bell

The Noble Tribe of Bell represented here by Lord Michael, Seneschal of Bell. The surname Bell was first found in Gascony (French: Gascogne), an area of southwest France bordering Spain, that was part of the "Province of Guyenne and Gascony" prior to the French Revolution, where they held a family seat in the honor of the seigneurie of De Labels, a village in the Basses-Pyrénées in the arrondisement of de Mauléon. The Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae also lists Le Bel in Normandy in 1189. [1] One of the earliest notables of the family was Jean Le Bel (c. 1290-1370), a Flemish chronicle and soldier.
