The surname Munchens was first found in Suffolk and Norfolk where they held a family seat. 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. The family name was first referenced in Britiain in the 11th century at the time of William the Conqueror, known as Baron Munchensi, or Maunchenell when they received grants at Thetford, and at Eye. Warine de Munchensi, born around 1055 in Normandy, France, son of Hubert Baron de Munchensi, was the first on record in Britain.
