Web Notes notes for Odard Lord Of Dutton
Notes Extracted from "Genealogy of the Dutton family of Pennsylvania" compiled by Gilbert Cope, printed in 1871 (pp. 12-13):
Odard or Udard, sometimes also written Hodard and Hudard, came into England with WILLIAM THE CONQUERER, and seated himself at Dutton, a good part of whereof Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester [Hugh of Avranches, Earl of Chester], gave unto him as you have heard out of Doomsday-book.
According to "Burke's Landed Gentry", p.1508: "These six brothers [including Odard] accompanied their uncle, Hugh Lupus into England, in the train of WILLIAM THE CONQUERER, their great-uncle; and on the establishment of the Norman power, had various estates and honors conferred upon them."
The ancient Roll of the Barons of Halton saith that with Hugh, Earl of Chester, came one Nigeil, a nobleman; and with Nigeil came five brethren to wit: Hudard, Edard, Wolmere, Horswyne, and Wolfaith . . . and unto Hudard the same Nigeil gave Weston and Great Aston . . . and from this Hudard came all the Duttons. [Cope goes on to express doubt as to whether the five brothers listed above were actually Nigeil's brothers.] Cope mentions that in 1665 an heirloom called "Hudard's sword" was then in the custody of Lady Elinour Viscountess Kilmorey, sole dau. and
heir of Thomas Dutton of Dutton. Regarding Odard's parentage, Cope says that "Burke's Landed Gentry", p.1508, cited above, calls him the son of WILLIAM, COUNT OF EU and his second wife Jeanne, niece of Hugh of Avranches, Earl of Chester. This would give him a descent from RICHARD I, DUKE OF NORMANDY. Cope states that another source, "Lyson's Magna Britannia", calls Odard the son of Yvron, Viscount of Constantine.

I find this town of Dutton, thrice named in Doomsday-book, as held then in the Conqueror's time by three persons. One Part Odard held immediately of the Earl of Chester, as it were in Capite: Another Part was held by William Fitz-Nigell, Baron of Halton, of the Earl, in like manner: Another Part did Osberne Son of Tezzon, Ancestor to the Boydells of Dodleston, hold also of the Earl of Chester.
Odard's Part seems to be the greatest Part, which one Ravene held before at the coming in of the Normans. The Baron of Halton's Part, and Osbern's Part, one Edward held before, and did then like wise hold Osbern's Part under the said Osbern. But both Osbern's Part , and the Baron of Halton's Part, at last came to the Posterity of Odard: For Osbern's Part was sold by his heir, Sir William Boylell, who released all his Seignory unto Thomas, son of Hugh Dutton of Dutton, in all the lands which the said Thomas held of him in Dutton, 15 Edw. 3, 1341.
Odard, or Udard, sometimes also written Hodard and Hudard, came Into England with William the Conqueror, and seated himself at Dutton; a good part whereof Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, gave unto him as before you have heard out of Doomsday-book. The ancient Roll of the Barons of Halton saith that with Hugh, Earl of Chester, came one Nigell, a nobleman and with Nigel came five brethren, to wit: Hudard, Edard, Wolmere, Horswyne, and Wolfaith, a Priest, to whom Nigell gave the Church of Runcorne; and unto Hudard, the same Nigell gave Weston and Great Aston, (now divided into two Townships, Aston Grange and Aston juxta Button,) pro uno Feodo Militis; and from this Hudard came all the Duttons. And in the Record of Doomsday, Odard held Aston under William Fitz-Nigell, Baron of Halton; and also Odard and Brictric held Weston under the said William, Anno Domini 1086. Whether those live Brethren aforenamed, were Brethren to Nigel, is a doubt; for then methinks he should have said Quinque Fratres sui: whereas lie says only, cum isto Nigello Venerunt quinque Fratres, and so names them.
This Hudard's, or Odard's Sword, is at this day, 1665, in the Custody of the Lady Elinour Vicountess Kilmorey, sole Daughter and Heir of Thomas Dutton, late of Dutton, Esquire, deceased; which Sword liath for many ages past been preserved, and passed from Heir to Heir as an Heirloom, by the name of Hudard's Sword; and so at this day it is by Tradition received and called.
