LeStrange Records: A Chronicle of the Early LeStranges of Norfolk and the March of Wales A.D. 1100-1310, with the Lines of Knockin and Blackmore Continued to Their Extinction

Published in 1916, this volume serves as a comprehensive genealogical and historical study of the LeStrange family, a prominent Anglo-Norman baronial house. Compiled by Hamon LeStrange, a member of the family and a noted antiquarian, the work documents the rise of the LeStranges from their origins in the Welsh Marches and Norfolk during the early twelfth century through the eventual extinction of the direct male lines of Knockin and Blackmore in the fourteenth century.

The text is deeply rooted in the nineteenth and early twentieth-century tradition of scholarly family histories, which often combined meticulous archival research with a desire to preserve aristocratic lineage. LeStrange relied heavily on primary sources, including pipe rolls, patent rolls, and land charters, to reconstruct the political and social influence of his ancestors. It remains a foundational reference for historians studying feudal administration and the integration of Norman families into the English landscape.
