Alan FITZFLAAD
(1070 - 1114)
Alan was the son of Flaad, who was in turn a son of an Alain who had been the crusader (in 1097) who was dapifer to the Archbishop of Dol, which is situated near Mont-Saint-Michel. "Alan, dapifer" is found as a witness in 1086 to a charter relating to Mezuoit, a cell of St. Florent, near Dol.
Flaad and his son Alan had come to the favorable notice of King Henry I of England who, soon after his accession, invited Alan to England with other Bretons, and gave him forfeited lands in Norfolk and Shropshire, including some which had previously belonged to Ernulf de Hesdin and Robert de Belleme.
