Early Origins of the Papdie family
The surname Papdie was first found in
Durham, where they held a
family seat. They were most likely one of those rebellious northern English Norman clans which were 'wasted' by Duke William of
Normandy when he took an army of 40,000 north as far as the Scottish border in 1070. Their name appears to have been Pappedae, from a Norman noble who arrived at Hastings with the Duke in 1066. Escaping north into
Scotland their ancient
Clan seat was at Dunglass but they also held estates in Haddington. Their close relationship to the Hume
Clan in these ancient times leads one to believe there was a blood relationship rather than a pact of mutual protection.
