People of 1066AD - Robert de Todeni(John de Todeni)

⚜️ Robert de Todeni (John de Todeni) — Normandy Holdings (1066)

Robert de Todeni (d. c.1088), Lord of Belvoir, standard-bearer to William the Conqueror at Hastings. The search results contain no information whatsoever on his Normandy landholdings, only his English estates.

⚠️ CRITICAL NOTE — NO NORMANDY DATA IN SEARCH RESULTS

The provided search results contain zero information on Robert de Todeni's lands in Normandy. All references to him concern:

  • His English holdings in Lincolnshire (Ludborough, Belvoir) and Leicestershire (Horninghold).1,2
  • His role as standard-bearer at Hastings.
  • His grant of Horninghold to Belvoir Priory c.1076.3

His continental patrimony — location, extent, title, castles, religious patronage — is entirely absent from the search results.

1. Known Norman associations

  • Family origin: The toponym "de Todeni" suggests origin in Todeni/Tosny, but no specific Norman lordship is named.4
  • Ship contribution: Not recorded in the ship list; presumably fought at Hastings as standard-bearer.
