| Craster reports that "The Monbouchers had, from the twelfth century, been attached to the household of the dukes of Brittany, but it was not until the close of the thirteenth century that one of their number, Sir Bertrand or Bertram de Monboucher, accompanied his lord to England."

Provisionally, we follow Craster in showing the pedigree as follows. | |||||||||||||||
