• Background Information. ¹²¹⁵
"The origins of the Mauduit family is something of a mystery. There is no evident that they came over with the Conqueror, although William Mauduit (I), the first kow of this family, was active in the later part of William I's reign." In 1086, he held the little honor of Portchester in Hampshire, probably by virtue of his office of chamberlain, and the need to have a reliable official in charge of Portchester castle. William was married to Hawise. William died about the end of William Rufus's reign. His son, Robert, succeeded him in his office and his Englaish lands. His younger son, William II, acquired his father's Norman lands.
