Guy I de Balliol

Guy I de Balliol

Guy I de Balliol was an French baron who was granted land in northern England in the late eleventh-century. In the 1090s, he was established in the north of England by King William Rufus, as part of King William's carve-up of the forfeited earldom of Northumberland.Stell, "Balliol, Bernard de".]

The historian Frank Barlow, Balliol's dynasty was one those "originated in the reign" and were "planted ... in the frontier areas in order to protect and advance the kingdom". [Barlow, "William Rufus", p. 172.] Geoffrey Stell said that Guy's northern territories were given "almost certainly in return for support rendered in William's campaigns on the eastern frontier of Normandy in 1091 and 1094".

Guy himself originated in a frontier area, coming from from Bailleul-en-Vimeu close to Abbeville on the frontier of the county of Ponthieu with the duchy of Normandy. Guy's nephew Bernard I de Balliol succeeded to Guy's estates before 1130 × 1133, meaning that Guy had died by then.
