Dutton Origins
Most of the lineage on this page has been well documented because it contains the members of several royal houses, the most well known being that of William the Conqueror. There are two claims to consanguinity with this lineage for Odard, the first Dutton. One is with Emme and Ivo (Yvron), viscount of Contentin and the other as the children of William, the 4th count of Eu and Jeanne. Neither claim is backed up with documentation.
The first twelve generations are from a Norse legend. Information on the succeeding generations can be found in the published books detailed in the credits.

Robert, Count of Eu fought with William, Duke of Normandy at Mortemer in 1054: "On the other side of river, Robert, count of Eu, with Hugh of Gournay, Walter Giffard, Roger of Mortemer, and the young William of Wasenne, came out from their own lands to withstand the eastern incursion under Count Odo and Count Rainald. ... and when the troops of the count of Eu rapidly advanced they achieved surprise, and fought with an initial advantage which was ultimately to prove decisive.", David C. Douglas, William the Conqueror, page 68
"The Countess Lesceline and her son Robert, count of Eu, were responsible for the abbey of Saint-Pierre-sur-Dives, and later the same Count Robert set up the abbey of Saint-Michel-du-Tréport", Ibid. page 112
"They were the companions, and the followers, of the new aristocracy whose recent rise to power was a mark of the duchy [Normandy] from which they came. Many of the greatest figures of that nobility - such as Robert, count of Eu, Hugh of Montfort-sur-Risle, William of Warenne and Robert of Beaumont - are specifically records as having been present at Hastings, and it is known that they brought their own knights with them", Ibid. page 203
Robert also took part in William the Conqueror's 1068 campaign: "Some idea of the importance attached to these castles can be obtained by a contemplation of the men to whom they were entrusted. For these were chosen from among the most important of the Norman magnates. Thus Dover, within the special province of Odo of Bayeux, was put under Hugh of Montfort-sur-Risle. The castle at Hastings, first given in charge to Humphrey of Tilleul, was soon to be the responsibility of Robert, count of Eu.", Ibid. pages 216-217
Douglas points out that the important men to which William had granted land further distributed this land to those who had lived near them when they were in Normandy: "Similarly, among the tenants in England of Robert, count of Eu, were men whose names reveal the origin of their families in Creil-sur-Mar, Floques, Normanville, Ricarville, Sept-Meules, and Mesnires, which lie in a circle round Eu itself.", Ibid. page 270
The land granted to Robert was Hastings: "Thus the bulk of Kent was given to his half-brother Odo, and the five rapes of Sussex - Hastings, Pevensey, Lewes, Arundel, and Bramber - were bestowed on the counts of Eu and Mortain, William of Warenne, Roger of Montgomery, and William of Briouze. ...Finally, the great marcher earldoms came into being - Hereford, Shrewsbury, and Chester - and these passed to William fitz Osbern, Roger of Montgomery, and Hugh, son of Richard, vicomte of Avranches.", Ibid. page 272.
It is curious as to why Robert did not grant land to his grandson Odard (generaton 18 below) who received land in Cheshire over 200 miles to the northwest from Hugh, son of Richard, vicomte of Avranches, who may have been his uncle. If Odard did not come to England until some 20 years after the battle of Hastings, nothing may have been available at that time.

The connection between Odard and Yvron is cited in Lysons' Magna Britannia, Vol. II. These same children are also attributed to William, 4th Count of Eu and Jeanne. In a family tree compiled by P. H. Lawson F. S. A., Chester, Yvron is shown to the descended through the St. Sauveur line from Eystein Glumra, generation eleven above.

It is <%= link_to 'claimed', dutton_odard_path(:anchor => 'Warburtonfootnote') %> that William's wife Helisinde was also the niece of William the Conqueror. Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Chester, p. 164) identifies Helsinde's mother Emma de Conteville as the half sister of William. Several sources question this relationship as well as her marrige to Richard le Goz, Viscount of Avranches.
This parentage for Odard and his five brothers has also been brought into question. Another theory has Odard and his five brothers as the children of Emme and Ivo (Yvron), viscount of Contentin. What is not in question is that Hugh, Earl of Chester did grant land and titles to Odard while his possible grandfather, Robert, 3rd Count of Eu did not.

An item dug up by Carole Dutton Malisiak from Raines, F. R. Rev, "Historical Notices of the Diocese of Chester," vol. 1 in "Remains Historical & Literary Connected with the Palatine Counties of Lancaster and Chester." Cheshire, Printed for the Chetham Society, 1865, p 299-300.
Although unnoticed in the Domesday Survey, Stockport had been a Military Station of importance from the time of the Romans to the Norman Conquest. The Parish was very considerable and the Church had, doubtless, been destroyed by the Invaders at that epoch. In 1173 the Castle of Stockport was held by Geoffry de Costentyn against Henry II, but it does not appear whether the Earl or Geoffry was then the possessor. It was afterwards the property of the Despensers, Earls of Winchester, and under them it was held by the Stockports, Sir Robert de Stockport occurring in a deed of the time of Richard the First, witnessed by John as Earl of Moreton.
