Jordan de la Warre became the next Lord of Bristolton. He would have been about 30 years of age during the signing of the Magna Charta in 1215. Documents show that he was paid two hundred pounds for livery of his lands. "Norman influence spread widely throughout the British Isles, and one of their contributions to the culture was the wider use of surnames - many of whom were reflective of estate titles. The surnames adopted by the nobility were mainly of this type, being used with the particles de, de la, or del (meaning 'of' or 'of the')." Consequently, if you said your name was Roger de la Warre - you were, in essence, saying that you were Roger of the house of Warre. "This surname of 'de la Warre' emerged as a notable English family name where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated as Lords of the Manor and estates in that shire." (DeGidio) Quoting John Burke in A Geneological and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, DiGedio also states that "the family of Ware claims descent from Roger de la Ware, Lord of Isefield, & Baron of Parliament in the reign of Edward I. The founder was Jordan de la Warre of Wick, Gloucestershire, England, whose descendants enjoyed extensive grants of land in the southern, middle and western counties of England, for bravery in various wars, particularly on the fields of Crecy and Poitiers." Burke continues, "many of that family under the name de Warr, de Warre, and le Warre were (in succeeding reigns) summoned to parliament as Lords thereof; which may be seen in numberless instances in the abridgment of the Tower Records collected by Sir Robert Cotton, and published by Mr. Prynne."
