## History

### Early history

The name Aubrey was brought to England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Aubrey family lived in Brecknock, Wales, where Sir Reginald Aubrey was granted lands in 1088. The name is topographic in origin and indicates that its original bearer once lived in *a place planted with elder trees.* The name also may be derived from a batismal name meaning "the son of Aubrey." In this case, the name would have been *Albreda* in the feminine form and *Aubrey* in the masculine form.

In the year 1510, the Aubrey family were risen to the status of Earls in the muggle world. Many wizarding families at one point held titles similar to these, but the Aubreys were known as the Earls of Pendergast.

### Recent history

Many members of the Aubrey family have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. They include Percival Aubrey, who attended from 1910 to 1917, as well as his future wife Mabel Aubrey (née McKinnon), who attended during that same time.

Percival left Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in June of 1917. In 1924, he married Mabel Victoria McKinnon, the daughter of Bartholomew McKinnon, known as the 16th Duke of Oxfordshire in the muggle world, and Louise Victoria Alexandra McKinnon, also previously known as Princess Royal to muggles and Duchess of Oxfordshire. Percival was a wizard, but he also was the son of an Earl, which was less important considering that Louise herself was also witch, if a muggle-born one at that. However, to the Monarch, George V, his prospects as the heir to an Earldom were very important.

Percival had one son and one daughter with Lady Mabel McKinnon between 1925 and 1926. They named them Bartholomew and Louise, after Mabel's parents. Percival's son, Bartholomew, later married a French witch named Normina Leblanc, and also had two children. Percival's daughter, Louise, never married.

Percival was the paternal grandfather of Bertram Aubrey, Sr., and Floriane Hargrave (née Aubrey). He was the paternal great-grandfather of Bertram Aubrey Jr., and Arthur, Marnie, Alice, and Doris Hargrave.
