The
House of le
Forestier
Descendant of the counts of
Flanders and of the famous Lyderic, The Forester
family came in Normandy with their parent
queen Mathilde, daughter of the count of
Flanders.
Cartulairs of
abbeys and chronicles gives evidence that this family
was powerful and considered. In 12th century,
Geoffroy Le Forestier represented among the
councillors of the king of England Henri II. In 1202,
the chronicles of Avranchin evoke Robert Le Forestier
" this young and generous heir ".
In the High Middle
Ages, It is, in France, in Cotentin (Manche), that
this family possessed numerous lands, around the seigneury
of Osseville.
Confirmed by
Monfault in 1463, and Chamillard in 1666, The Forester
divided into several branches established in
Basse-Normandie: Osseville, Vendeuvre, Mobecq, Periers,
Saint Patrice, Hugueville, Muneville. The elder branch
settled down to Vendeuvre by the marriage in 1739 of
Alexandre Le Forestier d' Osseville with Jeanne Gabriele de
Beaurepaire de Louvagny lady
of Vendeuvre.
