Gulson History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Gulson family
The surname Gulson was first found in
Bedfordshire (Old English: Bedanfordscir), located in Southeast-central
England, formerly part of the
Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, where they held a
family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1273 when Hugh, Michael and Ralph Goldstone held estates in that shire.
