Early Origins of the Sandal family

The surname Sandal was first found in Yorkshire where the name is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Sandal,' a parish, now Sandal Magna, near Wakefield, Yorkshire. Long Sandall, a parish four miles from Doncaster. 1 2

"This place is of high antiquity, and was long the baronial seat of the lords of Wakefield, of whom John Plantagenet, the last Earl of Warren, erected a strong castle here about the year 1320, which in the reign of Edward III. was occupied by Edward Balliol, one of the competitors for the throne of Scotland. The castle became the property of Richard Plantagenet, Duke of York, who fell in the battle of Wakefield, in 1460; and was subsequently the residence of his son, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III." 3
