LE SIRE D'ORGLANDE.

Orglandes (Egglandes), located in the county of Coutances, was granted to Adela, wife of Richard III, duke of Normandy, as future dowry in 1026 at which time the city of Coutances with the entire county was ceded to her with the exception of the land of Robert; archbishop of Rouen, and of the city of Caen "in comitatu Bajocense." The marriage never having been consummated, the dowry reverted to duke Robert, who succeeded his brother, Richard III. The companion of duke William at Hastings of this name, mentioned in the Researches of the Bayeux Tapestry by the abbe de La Rue and by Delisle on his Dives roll does not appear in Domesday. Herbert d'Orglander was a witness to a donation to the abbey of Montebourg, Normandy, by Adeliza, widow of Richard de Redvers, executed between 1142 and 1155. Geoffry, priest of Orlandes, appears as a witness to an act concerning the abbey of St-Pere de Chatres between 1132 and 1150. The family was represented in England by the baronets Oglander. In Normandy, the barony of Orlandes was in existence as late as 1180-95, at which time Roger and Alan de Orglandes occur there.
