Someone asked about the ancestry of sir Paon/Pagan/Payen de Ruet/Roet/Roelt.
A recent article in the Foundations Magazine of the Foundation for Medieval
Genealogy suggests that this unknown Knight was a member of the ROEULX family
of the Hainaut where the name is also spelt as Ruet/Roet/ Ruelt - it points to
a certain Gilles de Roeulx as the Pagan of English history...there is however
no definite proof of his identity but the circumstantial proof seesm quite
compelling according to the reviewer.
regards
Peter de Loriol

Peter,

Could you supply more information on this very interesting item?
How does one derive the name Pagan(us)/Payne from Gilles?
Are there any 'interesting' connections of this family?
