Where did the English Rundell family come from? What is the English Rundell family crest and coat of arms? When did the Rundell family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Rundell family history? Rundell is a name that was carried to England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Rundell family lived in Kent, at the Manor of Rundale, from whence their name is derived.Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, Norman French and other languages became incorporated into English throughout the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Rundell include 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.

In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Rundells to arrive on North American shores: Rundell Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
Rundell Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
Rundell Settlers in the United States in the 20th Century
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 Rundell Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Rundell 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 7 March 2012 at 13:57. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
