Camden says that Edward IV. commanded a member of the Pickard family to change his name to Ruddle after his birthplace. Strange to relate, both these names are either confined to or are most characteristic of this county, though I can find no place called Ruddle in Wilts. Probably Rudhall, the name of places in Herefordshire and Staffordshire, was the name of the birthplace of this person. The Pickards are said to hail originally from Picardy. Trowbridge is their present home in Wilts.
