Brande Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

William Brant held in Fincham, Norfolk, of Earl Warren (Domesday): and according to the Testa di Nevill, Robert Brant possessed estates in the same county in the thirteenth century. Robert Bronde, Prior of Norwich, who repaired, if not rebuilt, the chancel of his church, bore Gules, a cat of mountain (or ounce) Argent, spotted Sable, “Sir Bertram Braundes,” is mentioned by Robert of Gloucester among the Crusaders who were at the siege of Jaffa with Richard Cœur de Lion.

“King Richard the First with good intent To that city of Jaffa went; On morrow he sent after Robert Sakevile And Sire William de Watervile, Sire Hubert and Sire Robert de Turnham, Sire Bertram Braundes and John de St. John.

Goth he sent to the Soudan, And Sey myselfe a yen thrifty man In the feilde y wolde with him fighte For to doe yeme Godes righte; &c.”

A knight of this name fell at Bosworth Field, “Sir William Brand was one of those who died; King Henry’s standard he hevyed on hye, and vamisyd it, tyll with deathe’s dent he was stryken downe.”

This name (supposed to be of Danish origin) is borne by a Hertfordshire family that acquired the barony of Dacre towards the close of the last century. Gertrude Trevor, who succeeded her brother, the nineteenth Lord, as Baroness Dacre in 1794, had married in 1771 Thomas Brand, of the Hoo. Her younger grandson, Henry, was Speaker of the House of Commons from 1872 to 1884, and received in the latter year the title of Viscount Hampden.
