Note:
!At the time of the Conqueror's survey, he was Sheriff of Worcestershire, held
Holt Castle, and other large estates in Worcestershire, which had probably been
conferred upon him for services at Hastings. In some ancient records, Urso
d'Abitot is called Urso Vicecomes and in others Urso de Wirecestre. About the
year 1074, when Roger Earl of Hereford, and Ralph, Earl of Norfolk, conspired
against King William, Urso united his forces with those of Wolstan, Bishop of
Worcester, and Egetroyne, Abbot of Evesham, and did eminent service to the
royal cause. He subsequently founded a hermitage at Little Malvern in
Worcestershire, afterwards converted into a cell of the Abbey of Westminster.

Older bro. of Robert le Despensier, steward to the Conqueror. The name
came from St-Jean d'Abbetot, canton of Colbose, arrondissement of Havre, of
which the seigniory belonged to the chamberlain of Tancarville, indicated in
the foundation charter of St-George de Bocherville. Son of Amaury d'Abbetot;
grandson of Gerold, sire de Tancarville. Ours accompanied Duke William to the
conquest of England, after which he became a great power, having been created
sheriff of Gloucester and Worcester, and held a great barony as tenant-in-chief
in Hereford and Warwick. In 1073 he was one of the king's council and
rendered great service in the suppression of the rebellion of the earls
of Hereford and Norfolk. Ours was a despoiler of the lands of the church of
Worcester, as well as the abbeys of Evesham and Pershore, and terribly
oppressed the tenants of Droitwich. Great power had been granted to him as
hereditary sheriff, making it his duty to keep the county in subjection, in
almost all parts of which he held manors. On the other hand, he founded Malvern
priory, which became a cell to Westminster abbey. Ours was alive during
the reign of Henry I, but the exact date of his death is unknown. By his wife,
Atheliza, he had Robert d'Abbetot, who succeeded him, but who shortly
afterwards had his inheritance and properties confiscated because he killed a
servitor of the king. Ours' dau. was Emmeline who m. Walter de Beauchamp.
hereditary [Falaise Roll, p. 70, 91]

Urse de Abetot, Domesday tenant-in-chief and sheriff of Worcestershire, is a
well-known person; his first recorded occurrence in England is in 1067. Robert
son of Urse may be the Robert de Abetot whose wife Lesza gave land to the
priory of Ste-Barbe-en-Auge, a house of which the Tancarvilles were patrons.
Urse was succeeded in England by his son Roger, who forfeited his lands c.
1114. [Anglo-Norman Families, p. 1]

The Abbetots prevailed in Normandy until the time of Philippe Auguste and in
England for 600 years. [Falaise Roll, p. 70]
