"It may be said that, thanks to the 'clercs', humanity did evil for two
thousand years, but honoured good. This contradiction was an honour to
the human species, and formed the rift whereby civilisation slipped into
the world." "La Trahison des clercs" [The Treason of the Intellectuals]
(1927) Julien Benda (1867-1956)

| ALLEN FAMILY HISTORY:
|
| The Allen Family has been prominent in the British Empire and in the
| United States, its members having played important roles in war and in
| peace. The first of the Allen family which later become the noble
Lords
| of Carysfort to settle in Ireland was Beverly Allen direct descendant
of
| WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, King of England. The early Allen family entered
| England with William the Conqueror (William Allen) who had been
settled
| by the Norwegian Viking King Rollo and his followers in 911 AD.
Members
| of the family immigrated to Ireland at the beginning of the 18th
century,
| on the sale of the Irish estates of James II, the possessions of that
| sovereign at Dalkey were bought by Colonel Allen, now represented by
the
| Earl of Carysfort. About the middle of that century the owner of
Dalkey
| was Baron Newhaven, son-in-law of 2nd Lord Allen. Later it passed to
| The Hon. Lord William Allen, (Lord Proby), eldest son of 1st Earl of
Carysfort.
| The title of Lord Allen of Carysfort was created in 1873 and passed to
his
| cousin, Lord James Haddonfield Allen, as an hereditary Irish peerage.
From his
| line the titles passed though generation, via the eldest male, to the
present
| day holder of the title The Hon. Lord Brett Joseph Allen of Carysfort.

| A Coat of Arms is an emblem or a device which is displayed by titled
