Who was Odard de Dutton, ancestor, I believe, of the Despencers and of the
Warburton family of Arley. Older copies of Burke's Landed Gentry give a
descent (under Warburton of Arley) from one of the earlier Dukes of Normandy,
making the family
patrilineal descendants of Rollo. I have also read that he was a member of the
d'Avranches family or that he sprang from a Norman baronial house. Does anyone
know the latest and/or most likely theory?
Thank you,
Mark
