Bures Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Unless this be an interpolation, it cannot designate the ancient Suffolk family of Bures, who derived their name, not from the Norman town on the river Béthune in which Mabel de Belesme met her fate, but from Bures or Buer in the Hundred of Babergh, where St. Edmund, King of the East Angles, was crowned. They bore Ermine, on a chief indented Sable, two lions rampant Or.
There was a French family thus denominated—one of whom, Pierre de Bures, was Viscount of Dieppe and Arques during the war of 1173-74—which very possibly had representatives in England, as the name is found in various parts of the country, and several different coats are assigned to it in Burke’s Armoury. The Bowers of Iwerne House, Dorset, claim descent from Michael de Bures, a contemporary of the Conqueror s, whose son Walter gave its present name of Bures to a small manor he possessed near Caine in Wiltshire. Nicholas de Boure, 2 Richard II., was seated at Boure’s Place, near Deverell, holding part of his estate in capite; and Boure’s Field, in the same county, belonged to his brother William. They bear Sable, three talbots’ heads couped in chief, Argent langued Gules; in the middle point a cinquefoil Ermine. Sir Robert de Bures, Lord of Chartley, Stafford, served as knight of the shire in 1313. Sir John de Bures of Somersetshire, several times mentioned at the same period in the Parliamentary Rolls, who likewise held lands in Berkshire and Gloucestershire, bore arms nearly identical with those of the Suffolk house.
