Where did the English Royle family come from? What is the English Royle family crest and coat of arms? When did the Royle family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Royle family history? The name Royle came to England with the ancestors of the Royle family in the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Royle family lived in Kent. Their name, however, is a reference to Roisel, France, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Royle are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Royle include Royle, Royal, Royell, Royl, Roille, Riall, Ryle, Ryall, O'Riall and many more. First found in Kent, where they held a family seat from very early times, and where they were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
