Where did the English Rundall family come from? What is the English Rundall family crest and coat of arms? When did the Rundall family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Rundall family history? The ancestors of the Rundall family brought their name to England in the wave of migration after the Norman Conquest of 1066. They lived in Kent, at the Manor of Rundale, from whence their name is derived.Before the last few hundred years the English language had no fixed system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations occurred commonly in Anglo Norman surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Rundall were recorded, including Roundle, Roundall, Roundell, Roundill, Roundale and many more. First found in Kent where they were a branch of the great Baronial family of Cobham, seated as Lords of the Manor of Roundell in the parish of Shorne. In the 13th century John Cobham gave the Manor of Rundale to his second son. He was styled Lord Thomas de Cobham, alias Roundell, Knight. From this scion many branches descended, many with different spellings of the name Roundell, into the counties of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.

The unstable environment in England at this time caused numerous families to board ships and leave in search of opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad in places like Ireland, Australia, and particularly the New World. The voyage was extremely difficult, however, and only taken at great expense. The cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels caused many to arrive diseased and starving, not to mention destitute from the enormous cost. Still opportunity in the emerging nations of Canada and the United States was far greater than at home and many went on to make important contributions to the cultures of their adopted countries. An examination of many early immigration records reveals that people bearing the name Rundall arrived in North America very early: Joseph Rondall who landed in Virginia in 1651. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Tenax propositi Motto Translation: Firm of purpose.
The Rundall Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Rundall Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:57. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
