Fief de Blondel - Deed University of Leeds1440 Deed and Title in the Guernsey Royal Courts
There is a 735 Year Old History of The Fief Blondel However, the Fief de Blondel has a history that goes back to the
the first Viking Norman Duke, 918 AD who was Rollo the Viking. The Island of Guernsey has a history going back
thousands of years, but the Guernsey Fiefs were not established until 1179 AD. Soon thereafter, the Separation of
the Channel Islands from Normandy occured with the loss of Normandy to France by King John in 1204.
The Noble Fiefs of Guernsey were reallocated to those loyal to the English Crown. Sir William De Chesney is
named as the Seigneur of the Fief de Thomas Blondel in 1284 AD which is over 735 years ago For hundreds of
years, this noble feudal Fief of Blondel has existed under the direct relationship with the Crown of England under
the Tenant-in-Chief definition. The Fief of Thomas Blondel is located in the parishes of Torteval and St. Peter in the
Wood and is an authentic Norman title direct from the Crown. The Seignuers (Free Lords) or (Danish Friherres) of
Blondel existed before formal Barons were created. Fief Blondel is part of the former large Fief of Canelly, once
held by William de Chesney (1284) and before him by the Le Canellys until the separation of Guernsey from
Normandy in 1204.
