An English Family: from 1066 to the Present Day
Malet/Mallet Arms

Foreword

There are five different Mallett family groups here. The thing that ties them together, as the sidebar suggests, is the fact that they all seem to originate in the same relatively small area of Great Britain known as the "West Country" of England. One family is from Cornwall, while the other four are from Devon; "North Devon", to be more precise. One could reasonably assume that these families must be connected in some way, but as yet no connecting link has surfaced.

A sixth family group details the descendants of William Malet, who was the first person in England kown to carry the surname. He was a Norman Baron of some note who accompanied Duke William of Normandy, "William the Conqueror", in his conquest of England in the year 1066.
