Waleran the Hunter (floruit 1086) (Latin: ''Waleran Venator''), was an Anglo-Norman magnate who held 51 manors as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, including Whaddon in Wiltshire and several in Hampshire, including West Dean, within the New Forest. His Latin name (perhaps an epithet) as recorded in the Domesday Book, ''Venator''〔Described as such at head of Domesday Book, chapter xxxvii, Wiltshire:() ''Terra(e) Waleran Venatoris'' ("Lands of Waleran the Hunter") and at head of chapter xlv, Domesday Book, Hampshire: ''Terra(e) Waleran Venat(oris)'' (); ''Venatoris'' is the genitive case of ''venator'' (nominative case)〕 ("the Hunter"), suggests that he was a hunt-official of that royal forest.〔Hoare, Modern Wiltshire, 'Hundred of Cawden,' iii. 24〕 Little else is known about him. ==Descendants== His descendants assumed the surname ''Waleran'', one of the descendants in a junior line of which was Robert Walerand (died 1273), Justiciar to King Henry III. The senior line of the family retained the manor of West Dean until the death of Walter Waleran (d. ''circa'' 1200), who left three daughters and co-heiresses: *Cecily Waleran, wife of John de Monmouth, *Isabel Waleran, wife of William de Nevill, *Aubree Waleran, wife firstly of Robert de Pole, secondly of John de Ingham and thirdly of William de Botereaux. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waleran the Hunter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
