Families covered: Devereux of Bodenham, Devereux of Chartley, Devereux of Devereux, Devereux of Lyonshall
| BE1883 suggests that this family "derived its surname from the town of Eureux, in Normandy, and .. came into England with the Conqueror". Eureux is more normally known as Evreux or Eure or (in Latin) Ebroicis. Various web sites show this Devereux family as descended from the following Robert, which we do not doubt, but most of them show this Robert as a son of Walter 'le Ewrus' (d'Evereux) de Roumare, Comte d'Evreux whose very existence is doubted. | |||||||||||||||

| BE1883, which does not name William's wife or designation, does not mention the following Walter but suggests that William was succeeded by Sir John, 1st Baron. Collins identifies his wife only as Alice and shows his son as Sir William who, by Alice, was father of Sir Walter who (by Margery) was father of Sir John, 1st Lord, and Sir William of Bodenham who m. Anne, dau of Sir John Barre. There is clearly some confusion between the generations. We provisionally follow those web sites which show as follows. | |||||||||||||||
