Roger de Corbeau

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbet_family

Tradition says that the Corbeau/Corbet/le Corbeau/ Fitz Corbet... family descended from a Roman Valerius who is said to have had a raven land on his helmet at a critical point in a battle. Corvus, Corbeau refer to Raven.

It is also a Danish tradition that the standard of a Raven(Reafan) was carried into battle.  There is some argument that the originator of the family line was the standard bearer under Rollo.

Roger de Corbeau(Fitz Corbet)(b. c.988) and Giovanna Carnaghi (c. 995 or 1001-1070) Their child was:

Hugo or Hugh le Corbeau, born c. 1020, married Isabella de Pays. died in the Pays Dauge, Calvados Normandy. Alternate information has him dying in Shropshire at Moreton Corbet, if I remember correctly

Their children were:

Baron Robert Corbet - received 15 manors from William the Conqueror.

Roger FitzCorbet, 1st. Baron of Caus - received 25 manors from William the Conqueror. Also Earl of Cornwall(I cannot find this to confirm it.).
Isabel CORBET
Hugo Corbeau Corbet Lord Caux(stayed in France)
Renauld Corbeau Corbet Lord Fecamp(see the city on the map. He too stayed in France, though he was in Palestine at the end of the century.)
Hugo joined William the Bastard in his invasion of England in 1066, along with his second and fourth sons, Robert and Roger. They owed fealty to Roger de Montgomery or spelled: Montgomeri. They settled in Shropshire while his other sons stayed behind in Caux.

Each of the sons who fought for William were granted manors in Shropshire on the wild, Welsh border where they aided and advised the king in his struggles with the Welsh over the centuries.

Montgomery was granted a large area of land in the northwest of England, and he became the Earl of Shrewsbury which surrounds the town of the same name. Montgomery was also granted lands dotted all over the map of England, from Kent to Shropshire. He in turn granted the manors to the Corbet family, though certainly at the behest of the king in return to services rendered to the invasion force.

Montgomery himself was more a player in Normandy during the invasion, arriving in England later. He was one of the great men who cared for the government of Normandy while the Duke was busy with the invasion force and the unrest that followed Hastings. William was forced to march back and forth all over England cleaning up small rebellions in order to firm up his control of the country, and to ward off potential rival claimants to the throne from Scandinavian countries

Corbet Family MORETON CORBET.

SIR WALTER O. CORBET, BART.

WRITING in the time of Elizabeth, Camden in his " Britannia " says : " Then upon the same river (Tern), Moreton Corbet, anciently an house of the familie of Turet, afterward a castle of the Corbets, sheweth itself, where, within our remembrance, Robert Corbet, carried away with the affedionate delight in architedure, began to build in a barraine place, a most gorgeous and stately house, after the Italian's modell : but death prevented him, so that he left the new work unfinished, and the old castle defaced. These Corbets are of ancient nobility in this shire and held lordships by service of Roger Montgomery, Earle of this county about the coming in of the Normans. ... In later ages this familie farre and fairly propagated, received increase, both revenue, and great alliance, by the marriage with an heir of Hopton."

It is doubtful whether the house was ever finished. Tradition relates that a Puritan preacher in the time of James I., whom the owner failed to save from being carried to Shrewsbury gaol, prophesied that the house he was building should not be dwelt in from generation to generation, and shortly afterwards it was destroyed by fire. In the civil wars, however, it was garrisoned for the King, and taken by the Parliamentary party. Its owner. Sir Vincent, created a baronet in 1642, was fined ^1,588 and _^8o a year by the sequestrators. His granddaughter and heiress carried Moreton to her husband, John Kynaston, in 1688, and his son, Corbet Kynaston, sold the estate back to his kinsman, Andrew Corbet, of Shawbury Park, in 1734.

Roger Fitz Corbet, the Domesday founder of this family, came from Pays de Caux in Normandy, built Caus Castle, and called it after his Norman home. The Castle and Barony of Caus passed to Ralph de Stafford in 1350. The lesser Corbet estate of Wattlesborough Castle passed by marriage before the close of the same century to John de Mowthe. But about 1240 Richard Corbet, of Wattlesborough, married the heiress of Bartholomew Turet, one of the few Saxon owners of the soil whom the Norman conquest had left, and Moreton Turet has since been known as Moreton Corbet. In 1431 Roger Corbet, of Moreton, married the heiress of Thos. Hopton, of Hopton Castle, which remained in the family till the co-heiress of Robert Corbet carried it to the Wallops in the sixteenth century.

Since 1 249, when Thomas Corbet was sheriff, twenty Corbets have held that office ; since 1309, when Roger Corbet was Knight of the Shire, eighteen Corbets have represented the county, and twelve Corbets boroughs in the county. In addition to the Edwardian Barony by Writ, four extind baronetcies have been held by the family, and in 1679 ^^^ widow of Sir Vincent Corbet was made a viscountess for life. The estates of A6ton Reynald and of Adderley are still held in this county by descendants in the male line of Roger Fitz Corbet, the Norman. The estates of Longnor and of Sundorne have passed by female descent, their owners having taken the old patronymic.
