"The goodliest fellowship of noble knights whereof the world holds record" we do undoubtedly find the names of Sir Dodinas le Sauvage, Sir Pinell le Sauvage, and Sir Balan le Sauvage. The archives of the ancient and noble family of De Sauvage, Lords of Montbaron, were destroyed in a fire that occurred in the Château de Montbaron in June, 1615. The
Norman home of the Savage family, however, is presumed to have been in the neighbourhood of Avranches; the first of the family to come to England was Thomas le Sauvage –"Le Sieur le Sauvage" – who arrived with the Conqueror, and whose name appears in the lists of the Normans who survived the Battle of Hastings; and the first settlement of the Savage family in England was at Scarcliffe, in Derbyshire. |
