Remaining across the Channel after the win, the Isigny Lordship therefore finds himself attached to the bishopric of Bayeux. Hughes and his son Robert d'Isigny, never returned to France. Hugh dIsigny decided to settle in the area of Lincoln, now known as "Norton Disney".
Established England on behalf of the families of Isigny, was naturally anglicized to Disney. Today, in the Coventry area, two villages still exist under the names: Norton Disney and Disney. Much later, a branch of this family will go to Ireland, the departure point of the grandparents of the famous Walt Disney.
