28th Gen. – Sir Richard FORESTER (1) (wiki) of Flanders, (1050 – ) was knighted after the battle of Hastings. He was sixteen years old in 1066 when he joined William the Conqueror, passing from Flanders to England after the decisive Battle of Hastings.

In 1072, Sir Richard married and had one son, Sir Hugo. Sir Richard may have had other children, but they are unknown to history. Sir Richard stayed as a tried and true friend of the monarchy of England, and was a leader of men, usually into battle. Sir Richard’s heirs went on to become a large part of the history of England, whose lands resided mainly in Northumberland, England, and owned the castles in Etherstone, Bamborough, and several abbeys.

BIDDULPH, JOHN, esq. of Biddulph, in the county of Stafford, and of Burton Park, in the county of Sussex, succeeded his father May, 1784.

This gentleman is the head of the ancient family of Biddulph, and in uninterrupted lineal male descent of the elder branch, to which all others are traced.

Lineage.

This name and family claims a Saxon origin and derivation such as few now extant in England can boast.

BIDDULPH, variously written Bydulf, Bradulf, &c. is a word purely Saxon, compounded of Bid, Biedw, and ulf, or wulf, literally the wolf-killer. The latter entered into the composition of a vast number of names during the Heptarch, as Ethelwulf, Ceolwulf, &c. when skill and courage in the chase of the hordes of this ferocious animal must have been held in high estimation.*

That a family of this name existed in the Saxon times in the northern parts, we have evidence in the early chronicles, in which we find "A.D. 790, Beadulfus, or Baldulf, consecrated Bishop of Whitern, on the 16th day before the Calends of August, by Archbishop Eanbald, of York, and Bishop Ethelbert. Whitern was the capital of the kingdom of Galloway, on the other side of the Solway Frith, then recently subdued from.

The date of Bishop Beadulf's death is not recorded, but it appears that he visited his native province on solemn occasions, as we find him on the death of Ethelred, assisting Archbishop Eanbald, and other bishops, by whom Erdulf, the successor in the Northumbrian kingdom, 66 was consecrated and raised to his throne at York, on the seventh day before the Calends of June, A. D. 795."
