Among his descendants was Sir Hercules de Malebisse, who in 1226 married Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce, daughter of Sir William Bruce, Lord of Uglebarby, which lordship and other lands he had inherited from his ancestor, Sir Robert Bruce, of Skelton Castle, the progenitor of the royal Bruces of Scotland. It is from this marriage that the Beckwiths derive their name, Lady Beckwith Bruce possessing by inheritance an estate or manor called 'Beckwith,' in the old Anglo-Saxon 'Beckworth,' from 'Beck,' a brook, and 'Worth,' an estate. With a view, evidently, to the perpetuation of the name, her husband was required, by a marriage contract dated 1226, to assume the name of Beckwith. The coat-of-arms of the Beckwiths is as follows: Arms: Argent, a chevron gules fretty or, between three ! hinds' heads erased, of the second. On a chief engrailed gules a saltier engrailed between two roses or, in pale, and on a chief joined to the dexter and sinister sides a demi fleur-de-lis paleways or.

He told me that he was the first generation, coming back to their roots. Probably, it's true. In the French part of Belgium, you'll find much more 'Vanderbeck', here in the Flemish part, it's all family of us. Surnames: Vanderbeck Submitted by: Gudrun 2/15/2012 10:45 PM Page 1 of 1
