Page "Blood brother" Paragraph 15

* Two Norman knights who took part in the Conquest of Britain in 1066, Robert d ' Ouilly and Roger d ' Ivry, were well known as blood brothers.

It was said that they had agreed beforehand to share the profits of this adventure.

They both survived Hastings and were granted lands in Oxfordshire and elsewhere, then worked together on various projects such as Wallingford Castle.
