Other LeBlonds Not in My Line

I run across other leBlonds that are not part of my line during my research and I share those with you here.

Robert Le Blond, Gilbert le Blond, Guillaume Le Blond

Knights who accompanied William the Conqueror to England in 1066.

It lists all the knights who took part in the invasion. (List found on Olive Tree Website, 1066 List of Knights.) For more, read The Conqueror and His Companions – by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald.
