Murres :

In a satirical poem of 1204: the "Bible de Guiot de Provins:" there is a mention of this, or a very similar, name:

"Oncques certes deca la mer
Ne vi un si cortois baron
Qui fut Morises de Troon
Et qui fu Renauz de Nevers?"

In the Monasticon Anglicanum Reginaldus des Mores witnesses a grant of Galfrid Camerarius de Clinton to Bretford in Warwickshire, and a William de Murrers occurs in the chartulary of Thickhead Priory. Geoffrey de Mores, about 1272, in the Rotuli Hundredorum. In the succeeding century, William Morers married one of the three sisters and co-heirs of Sir Robert Ashton, who held Sutton in Dorset and some manors in Somersetshire 12 Ed. III.—Hutchins' Dorset. Richard de Murers held of the Percy fee in Lincoln (Testa de Nevill) as well as in Yorkshire, where he was Lord of Elvington (Kirkby's Inquest). In 1253 he had a charter of free warren at Elvington; and the family possessed several other estates in the county. His son and heir William held at Thoxton of the Honour of Richmond; and at Thurstanby of Henry de Percy; Peter de Murers at Catton-cum-Soka of the Honour of Chester; and Ralph de Morers was Lord of Wilton, Lasingby, and Lackenby.—Ibid. In the list of the "Gentry of Cheshire," made in 1443) I find the name of "Johannes Mores de Trumpington."
