Bastard
The term Bastard was originally applied to those who were born out of wedlock. The origins of the name Bastard are Norman and the family is of great antiquity in Devon. Robert Bastard is mentioned in the Domesday Book as a prominent tenant in chief in Devon. The Herald’s visitations record three armigerous families of this name; one of which resided in Norfolk while the other two resided in Devon and Cornwall respectively. It is highly probable that most of the families bearing that name who were recorded in the visitations, and whose crests are shown above, are descended from Robert Bastard.
