- Geoffrey de Mandeville (11th century)
Geoffrey de Mandeville (d. c. 1100) Constable of the Tower of London. Important Domesday tenant-in-chief, was one of the great magnates of the reign of William the Conqueror. William granted him large estates, primarily in Essex, but in 10 other shires as well. He served as sheriff in London and Middlesex, and perhaps also in Essex and in Hertfordshire. He married (1) Athelaise (Adeliza), by whom he had son William, dau. Beatrix (Beatrice), and possibly others, and (2) Lescelina, by whom he had no children. About 1085 he and Lescelina founded Hurley as a cell of Westminster.
His lands were inherited by his son William de Mandeville. His daughter Beatrix (Beatrice) was the wife of Geoffrey, natural son of Eustache II, count of Boulogne.
