Early Origins of the lahaye family
The surname lahaye was first found in
Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of
Normandy, where this distinguished family held a
family seat in the castle and barony of Lahaie-du-Puits in the arrondissement of Coutance from about the year 890. But the annals of the family only start about 1066 when the Sire Eudo de Lahaie accompanied Duke William of
Normandy in his conquest of
England. He became a great
Baron and possessed vast estates in
Sussex,
Essex and
Suffolk, and died in 1098, and the Norman branch of the family continued to flourish.
