Maingun : for Mangon, a Norman family seated at Val de Saire, near Valognes, and ennobled in 1576. The manor of Drayton, in Bucks, since called Drayton Beauchamp, "was anciently in the Maignons, from whom it passed to the Beauchamps and Cobhams."—Lysons. Ralph de Nungun (Maingon?) in 1165 held of William de Abrincis in Kent, and Nicolas de Nugun of the Honour of Warrenne.—Liber Niger. Perhaps Alexander Mangant, who held a knight's fee of the Barony of Mowbray, and another of Gilbert Peche in Cambridge, and Rinward Mangant, a subtenant of Robert de Tresgoz in Herefordshire (Testa de Nevil), may be included in this family. William Mangant was a tenant of the Chapter of St. Paul's at Drayton in Middlesex in 1222.—Domesday of St. Pauls.
