Theobald FitzBerner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theobald FitzBerner (fl. 1086), (Theobald son of Berner,[1] Tetbaldus Filius Bernerius[2]) was an Anglo-Norman warrior and magnate, one of the Devon Domesday Book tenants-in-chief of King William the Conqueror. The Domesday Book of 1086 lists him as the holder of 27 manors in Devon.[3] His lands later formed part of the Feudal barony of Great Torrington, together with lands of his son-in-law Odo FitzGamelin[4]
