Baron Aguillon

Arms of Baron Aguillon:- "gules, a fleur de lis argent"[1][2]

The Aguillon (aka Agillon or Agilmo[2]) Barony was created when Manser Aguillon was granted the lordship of Perching (now a lost village) high on the South Downs in West Sussex.

Ancestry

The Aguillons are assumed to have originated in France. They seem to have been associated[lower-alpha 1] with the Marmion family, witnessing charters alongside them in Normandy in 1106[3] and later occupying their land in England. Manser Aguillon settled in England in the 12th Century and acquired land in Sussex. Upon the death of Sir Robert Aguillon he was holding lands in London, Middlesex, Kent, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex, Norfolk and Hertfordshire.[1]
