Description:Excerpt from A History of the Bethune Family: Translated From the French of Andre Du Chesne, With Additions From Family Records and Other Available Sources The family name of Bethune is taken from the city of that name in the ancient Province of Picardie, France. It was called by the Romans "Betunia in Gaul." It was the chief city of a barony belonging to a family descended from the Counts of Artois. Since the eleventh century they have been known in history as the Bethunes of Picardie; prior to that date family names were unknown. In the year 1011, Robert, first of his name, Baron of Bethune and Lord of Richebourg, was chosen "Defender or Protector of the Church." This was deemed a very great honor, only conferred on powerful princes; for it involved the duty of defending and protecting the church property and the interests of the church generally. The Advoue D'Areas, as it is written in the old French histories, enjoyed the high honor of having the banner of the church borne before him in all warlike expeditions. Hence Robert 1st of Bethune is called "Faisseus" to indicate that he enjoyed this distinction, and the band or fasse in the shield of the Bethune arms was to commemorate the conferring of this honor on him and his posterity.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
