This noble family of Grey is said to derive its descent from Anschetil de Grey often mentioned in the book of Domesday, as holding lands in different counties, in the reign of William the Conqueror, when that general survey was made. His son and successor was Richard de Grai, or Grey, who lived in the reign of king Henry I. and was a great benefactor to Eynsham abbey. By Mabilla, his wife, who survived him, he had three sons, Anschetil, William, and a third who was a monk in that abbey. Anschetil, the eldest son, was succeeded by his eldest son and heir Sir John Grey. Sir John de Grey, the elder brother, had three sons, Robert, Walter, Henry de Grey, and two daughters.
