    Juhel de Totnes
    Juhel de Totnes (died 1123/30) (alias Juhel fitz Alfred, Juhel de Mayenne,
    [1] Judel, Judhel, Judael,
    Judhael, Joel, Judhel de Totenais), Latinised to Judhellus filius Aluredi, "Juhel son of Alured") was a
    soldier and supporter of William the Conqueror (1066-1087). He was the first Anglo-Norman feudal
    baron of Totnes and feudal baron of Barnstaple, both in Devon.

    He originated either in Brittany or in Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire/Maine, as his surname of de
    Mayenne given in an early charter suggests. He was the son of a certain Alfred, Latinised to Aluredus,
    [2]
    expressed in Anglo-Norman French as fitz Alfred (i.e. Latin filius, modern French fils de, "son of"). He
    had a brother named Robert (Latin: Rotbertus) named in the foundation charter of Totnes Priory, c. 1087.
    In 1069 Juhel was one of the leaders of the Breton forces on the Norman side, fighting against the
    remaining forces that had been loyal to King Harold.
    [3] He had been granted by William the Conqueror
    the feudal barony of Totnes, Devon, and held many manors in south-west England, at the time of the
    Domesday Book of 1086, including Clawton, Broadwood Kelly, Bridford and Cornworthy.
    [4][5][6][7]
    In
    about 1087, he founded Totnes Priory. He was expelled from the barony of Totnes shortly after the death
    of King William I in 1087. According to the historian Frank Barlow (1983), King William II "replaced
    the Breton Judhel, whom he expelled from Totnes at the beginning of his reign for an unknown reason,
    with his favourite, Roger I of Nonant".[8] However at some time before 1100 Juhel was granted the large
    feudal barony of Barnstaple, Devon.[9]
    Juhel had two daughters and a son named Alfred, the latter who died without progeny before 1139.[10]
    Alfred's two sisters, one of whose name is unknown and Aenor, were his co-heiresses, each inheriting a
    moiety of the barony of Barnstaple. The unnamed sister married Henry de Tracy[11]
    whilst Aenor married
    Philip de Braose (d. 1134/55), feudal baron of Bramber, Sussex and a Marcher Lord.,
    [12]
    son of William I
    de Braose (d. 1093/6). In 1206 Juhel's great-grandson William III de Braose (1140/50-1211) regained
    control of 1/2 the barony of Totnes.[13]

    Excerpt: TRACIE, "Sire de," 1. 13,605. The Norman family of Tracy does not appear to have
    been of much importance in England before the reign of Stephen, who bestowed upon
    Henry de Tracy the honour of Benstable (Barnstaple) in Devonshire ; but the first of the
    name we hear of is Turgis, or Turgisins de Tracy, who with William de la Ferte was defeated
    and driven out of Maine by Fulk le Rechin, Count of Anjou, in 1073, and who was therefore
    in all probability the Sire de Tracy in the army at Hastings. Tracy is in the neighbourhood of
    Vire, arrondissement of Caen, and the ruins of a magnificent castle of the middle ages were
    and may still be seen there. In 1082 a charter was subscribed at Tracy by a William de Traci
    and his nephew Gilbert (Gallia Christina, xi. Instrum. p. 107), one or the other being most
    likely the son of Turgis, and the father of Henry of Barnstaple. The name of Tracy- is
    principally known to the readers of English history from the unenviable notoriety of a William
    de Tracy, one of the cowardly murderers of Thomas & Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury,
    A.D. 1170 ; but his connection with the inain line is obscure, as in his charter granting to the
    Canons of Torre, in the county of Devon, all his lands at North Chillingford, he writes himself
    William de Traci, son of Gervase de Courtenay, whose name I do not find in the pedigree of
    that house. Publication: THE CONQUEROR AND HIS COMPANIONS. Author: James
