REFERENCE: [HYPERLINK http://www.battle1066.com ] The Roll of Battle Abbey A.O. 1066 in the Battle of Hastings with William le Roy lists among other: Bodin and Burdon. Read more about this family in each descendant's notes. At some point (maybe before the 13th century) the records are no longer a "novel" but are better substantiated.
It is suggested that Simon was the grandson of Francis DeBOURDON of Bayeux, Normandy (France), who fought under William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This is yet to be better researched.
Elfreada died in 1193. Simon died about 1195. Both were buried in a vault in the family chapel within their castle walls. Simon and Elfreada's daughter was Robergia DeBOURDON.CONFLICT: Carolyn Schriber <schriber@rhodes.edu> Editor, ORB, Rhodes College, Department of History, 2000 N. Parkway, Memphis, TN 38112, on September 04, 2001 wrote "I'm sorry but no one by the name of Bourdon (Burdon, Bordon, Bouriden, etc.) accompanied William the Conqueror, and there is no record of a family named Bordon in Kent until 1346. You seem to have been reading a very convincing modern novel."
I think this commentary by Carolyn Schriber is resolved with the evidence I present in the notes for Simon's daughter, Robergia (which see).
