Baliol Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
According to the Dictionnaire des postes there are thirteen places of the name of Bailleul in northern France. M. de Belleval, author of an account of John Baliol, King of Scotland, says (p. 5) there have been nineteen different families of the name, all of which, except one in Normandy, are extinct (cited in Hodgson, History of Northumberland, VI. p. 15). The family was of Picard, not of Norman origin as widely believed. The family took its name from a small village, Bailleul-en-Vimeu, about six miles south of Abbeville in the department of the Somme. Bernard de Baliol was the first of his name in Scotland. He occurred as witness to numerous charters by David I, from whom he obtained large grants of lands. He endeavored to dissuade David from going to war with England, and fought against him at the battle of the Standard in 1138. Hugh de Baillol witnessed a charter by Ada, mother of William the Lion, to Alexander de St. Martin between 1153—78 (Laing, 2), and the same or a succeeding Hugh de Balliol, c. 1200, confirmed an earlier donation by Bernard de Bailliol to the Abbey of Kelso (Kelso, 51, 53). Henry de Baylloyl, camerarius domini regis, ani Ingraham de Bayllol, appeared in 1225 as charter witnesses (REM., p. 460,461). Ingeramus de Ballia (Balliol) witnessed a charter by Seyr de Quency, c. 1210 (Neubotle, p. 54), and Henry de Baylliol witnessed a charter of King Alexander 11 to the Abbey of Neubotle in 1241 (ibid., p. 124). In 1295 an annual rent out of the lands of Balliol in France was pledged by John Baliol as "donatio propter nupitas seu dotalicium" on the marriage of his son Edward (APS., I, p. 452). The seal of the competitor (1291) bears a shield charged within an orle and S' Jehan de Baillouel (Bain, II, 488). Balyall 1256, Balliole 1293.
(Scot.-French-Latin) belonging to Bailleul (Normandy) = a Bailey, Barrier, Enceinte. [from Old French baile, baille; Low Latin ballium; Latin vallum, a wall, fortification: the French suff. -eul is normally from Latin -iol-us, -iol-um] Bailleul-la-Camp (Eure) was Baliolum in A.D. 862.
Guy de Baliol entered England at the Conquest, and was lord of Biweld, co. Northumberland. His lineal descendant, John de B., was, on the award of Edward I., made King of Scotland. There are several localities in Normandy called Bailleul: that which claims to be the birthplace of this noble and royal race is Bailleul-en-Gouffern, in the arrondissement of Argentan, called in charters Balliolum. "On pretend, sans beaucoup de fondement, que c'est de cette commune que sont originaires les Bailleul, rois d'Ecosse." Itin. de la Normandie.
