Conquest Surname Meaning

Probably a contraction of Conquestor. "Willelm' Conquestor" is the name of a private person mentioned in the H.R., and Robert Conqueraunt is found in the same documents. Houghton-Conquest, co. Bedford, derives its suffix from the family, who were possessors of it before 1298. Esch. 26. Edw. I. Lysons.
From Le Conquet (L. Conquestas), a maritime comm, and town of France, dep. Finistère; or from Conques, a small town of France, dep. Aveyron; or of another, dep. Aude.
From Conquet, Bretagne. Geoffry de Conquest held Houghton, Bedf., from the Honour of Hunts, 13th cent. (Testa de Neville).
From Conques or Conquet; location name in Normandy.
Conquest: is from Conques in Aveyron—a most interesting place, with a church treasure of almost unsurpassed value, happily saved during the Revolution. English authority extended over this part of the South of France fitfully and disputedly, and the Conquest who came to England must have been one who had thrown in his lot with the losing side.
