Fleamont family

**Fleamont** was the surname of an old pure-blood wizarding family that died out in the mid-1930s. Elowen Potter, the mother of Henry Potter, who was born a Fleamont, asked on her deathbed for him to preserve her maiden name so it would not die out. Henry honoured her request by naming his son Fleamont Potter.

The family's motto was "*multa tuli fecique*", meaning "*I have endured and done much*".

## History

### Early history

The earliest recorded instance of the Fleamont family name show the family in Flanders, which was located on the North Sea and was a prosperous center for the cloth industry during the Middle Ages. The name is derived from *Fleaman*, which comes from *Fleeman*, which comes from an old Anglo-French word, "fleming." This word comes from the Old French word "flamanc," which means "a Fleming."

The family of Flemmens, later described as "Fleamont," of the "Mountain," descended from a nobleman of Flanders, who, at a very early period came over to England, and took up his abode at Stoke-flemen in Devonshire, of which he was lord. In the days of Richard I. One of his posterity held in this place by the tenure of knight-service, seven knight's fees, and was probably the founder of this church, which still bears his name.

A muggle-born wizard was born into this family sometime in the middle ages, and when he left his family forever to attend Hogwarts, he established a homestead in the highlands of Scotland, thereby changing the family name irrecoverably to Fleamont.

### Later history

After the ratification of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1689, large numbers of witches and wizards grouped together to provide support for each other. The Fleamont family sought refuge in Hogsmeade, Scotland, and after facing many years of persecution at the hands of Muggles, they found safety in numbers.

### Recent history

Harry Potter, best known for his famous defeat of the dangerous dark wizard Lord Voldemort is a descendant of this family.
