Fulbert de Beine (Becana) lord of L'Aigle
The Aquila family can be traced to this man born about A.D. 980, he was most likely a Frank, a Germanic tribe that gave their name to France. After settling in Normandy, in 1010 he was given permission to build a fortified house on a hill overlooking the river Risle, arrondissement of Mortain. Therefore probably Fulbert was one of the knights in the service of Robert, Comte de Mortain. In 1015 as Fulbertus Becana he gave the abbey of Saint Evroult to Ingenufus (Engenoulf) his son. Soon after he built the Castle of L'Aigle by the Risle, for in 1027 now styled as Fulbert de L'Aigle he witnessed a charter for Fecamp.
It is known that he had at least one son and one daughter, that his son and heir Engenoulf was slain at Hastings in 1066. The daughter given the Germanic name of Hiltrude de Beina, married Guilliame Giroye, whose father was Ernauld d'Echaffours, and whose grandmother was a daughter of Heogan (Helgo), a Norman descending from Rollo the Viking the founder of Normandy. A line of rulers stemming from Hiltrude included the Kings of Navarre, therefore the blood line entered the kings of France, Spain, and England.
