Early Origins of the Billinge family

The surname Billinge was first found in Saxony, where this family name became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Their dynasty appears to have gained prominence somewhere between 961 and 1106 in this region. The first Count Billing lived around 967 and the last, Magnus Billing, died in 1106. After the death of Magnus the family properties were handed over to the Counts of Suepplingenburg in the 12th century. Always important in social affairs, the name became an integral part of that turbulent region as it emerged to form alliances with other families within the Feudal System and the nation.
