Where did the English L'argent family come from? What is the English L'argent family crest and coat of arms? When did the L'argent family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the L'argent family history? The vast movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of England of 1066 brought the L'argent family name to the British Isles. They lived in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire in the south of England, where they held lands since the early Middle Ages. Their original home was in Argentan in Normandy, and this is the area from which their name derives.A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Argent, Argentine, Argenton, Argente and others. First found in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire in the south of England. The L'argent family was granted lands in this county from Duke William for its assistance in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and held estates there from this early time. The earliest records of the name in Britain date back to 1180, when Geoffrey Argent was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Northamptonshire.

Many English families left England, to avoid the chaos of their homeland and migrated to the many British colonies abroad. Although the conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and some travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute, once in the colonies, many of the families prospered and made valuable contributions to the cultures of what would become the United States and Canada.
