Coat of Arms & Family Crests Store
  Harbron Coat of Arms / Harbron Family CrestThis surname of HARBRON was applied to a native of HEBRON, a town in the south of the West Bank of the River Jordan. It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and is revered by both Jews and Muslims as the burial place of Abraham. Hereditary surnames were originally imported from France into England during the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the two centuries or so after the Conquest surnames were acquired by most families of major landholders, and many landed families of lesser importance. There appears to have been a constant trickle of migration into Britain between about the years 1200 and 150O, mostly from France and the Low Countries, with a small number of migrants from Scandinavia, Germany, Italy and the Iberian peninsular, and occasional individuals from further afield. During this period groups of aliens settled in this country as for example, the Germans who from the late 15th century onwards settled in Cumbria to work the metal mines. Immigration during this time had only a small effect on the body of surnames used in Britain. In many cases, the surnames of immigrants were thoroughly Anglicised. The late sixteenth century saw the arrival, mostly in London and the south-coast ports of large numbers of people fleeing from the war regions of France. Other spellings of the name include HEBRONE, HABRONE and HARBRONE The name was brought into England and Scotland by early settlers, who gave their name to HEBRON, near Morpeth in Northumberland. The name is not uncommon in Yorkshire and William HEBRONE, in Blairscheoch, parish of Blackford, was recorded in 1681. James HEPBRONE of Miltoune, was a charter witness in 1661. In the Middle Ages the Herald (old French herault) was an officer whose duty it was to proclaim war or peace, carry challenges to battle and messages between sovereigns; nowadays war or peace is still proclaimed by the heralds, but their chief duty as court functionaries is to superintend state ceremonies, such as coronations, installations, and to grant arms. Edward III (1327-1377) appointed two heraldic kings-at-arms for south and north, England in 1340. The English College of Heralds was incorporated by Richard III in 1483-84.No arms found |
