• Background Information. 933
Hugh de Gournay was a man of high military renown. He married Basilia Flatel, and was very likely at the battle of Hastings since he was given lands by William the Conqueror. Some of these lands were the manors of Liston, Fordham, and Ardley in Essex, all of which appear in the Domesday Survey. [Morants's Essex, vol. ii p.31; Domesday, vol. ii. p. 89]. Afterwards, considerable estates in England were either given to the Gourney family or were acquired by marriage. Hugh de Gournay became a monk at Bec before 1093.
