  • Notes 
    • A member of the West County St. Maur (Sancto Mauro) family whose descendants included the Seymour family of Jane Seymour (d. 1537), third wife of Henry VIII. They took their name from Saint-Maure-sur-Loire in Maine-et-Loire, France, where allegedly St. Maurus (512-584) founded Glanfeuil Abbey, the first Benedictine monastery in Gaul. (St. Maurus, the first disciple of Benedict of Nursia, definitely existed, but the monastery was almost certainly founded by someone else.)

      From The Knights Templar in Somerset (citation details below):

      The Curia Regis rolls document that Ralph of St. Maur was the son of Thomas St. Maur and his wife Juliane. He had an older brother, Peter, and another brother, Milo. Thomas and Juliane also had a daughter Rohesia.

      Ralph's maternal grandfather was Anketil, though whether this was the frequently documented "Anketil of Chewton" is unknown, as Anketil was a common name at the time.
