ROGER DE RAMES.

The family has its derivation from the castle of Rames, which was situated on the edge of a forest in a valley to the west of Bolbec in the arrondissement of Havre. Robert d'Estouteville, to whose family this castle belonged, received a grant of 200 acres of land from Henry II adjoining it. Roger de Rames, undoubtedly of this family, who is reported to have been at the battle of Hastings by Delisle, held considerable lands in England in 1086 (Domesday), among which were possessions in Essex and Suffolk. In the former county Anschetillus held from him as an under-tenant sixteen acres of land in the domain of Metinges, as well as land at Ramesdune, under Robert de Grenon. Anschetillus also held under Roger at Breseta in the hundred of Babenberg in Suffolk.
