Boeghes: The vernacular form of Bogo

Legg inn av Douglas Richardson royala » 07 mar 2005 09:30:06

Dear Newsgroup ~

Recently we had an interesting discussion regarding the vernacular form
of the Latin name Bogo. Today while I was going through a volume of
the Patent Rolls, I came across a document in the vernacular French in
which Margaret de Clare, Countess of Cornwall, referred to her brother
["mon frere"] as "Boeghes de Clare" [Reference: C.P.R. 1292-1301
(1895): 63-65].

The form "Boeghes" is quite similar to the form Beges which I earlier
found in a Selden Society volume. It is also similar to Boges and
Beges, which two forms are found on various rolls of arms posted on the
Brian Timms' great heraldry website (http://www.briantimms.com).

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
