Montreuil Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A name that still flourished in Normandy at the close of the last century; for three De Montreuils sat in the Assembly of the Nobles then convoked for the election of the States General. One of them was the Marquis de Montreuil, belonging to the bailifry of Orbec. The earliest entry I have met with relating to this family carries them back to a very distant date. Emma de Montriveau was the first wife of Ralph de Beaumont, Viscount of Le Mans, who married for the second time in 1055.

The De Montreuils were in all probability brought over to England and enfeoffed by Count Eustace de Boulogne. In a survey of the Honour of Boulogne in the Liber Niger Scaccarii in the reign of King John, the fee of William de Mustruillo (Montreuil) is entered as six milites, and included the manor of Clarette, in the parish of Yeldham, hundred of Hinckford, co. Essex; which “has the name of Clare in Domesday, and was parcel of the honour of Earl Eustace of Boulogne.” - T. Stapleton. Alexander, Petronilla, and Hamo de Mastroill occur in Staffordshire in 1199 (Assize Roll, 1 John): and Alexander, in 1203, held in the hundred of Cutulkestan (Cuddleston). Staffordshire Historical Collections. The next account I can find of them is in the Calendar of Documents relating to Scotland. In 1286, John Mazun, “lately detained in the King of Scotland’s prison, was released on the mainprise of William de Mont Revel.” Geoffrey de Munrevel, “vallet de la Chaumbre nostre Seigneur le Roi,” received in 1307 ten gallons of wine at Dumfries, “from the hands of Sire James de Daliley’s valet:” and in 1365 gave a receipt at Berwick-on-Tweed for “24 marks worth of the King’s victuals.” To this is appended his seal; “a shield charged with six fleurs de lis and a ribbon dexter.” The arms of “Montrevill,” as given by Robson, are Argent a bend dancette Gules betwixt three fleurs de lis.
