Maunys : This name is clearly interpolated. The castle of Mauny at Hambye, (the parish adjoining St. Denis-de-Gaste) in Normandy, was only built in the fourteenth century by Herve de Mauny, the cousin-german and companion-at-arms of the renowned Constable Du Guesclin. Charles V. of France made him his seneschal, and one of the Captains General of Normandy, where he first established the family. Nor is there reason to suppose that he was in any way related to his contemporary of the same name in England. Sir Walter Manny, the celebrated captain under whose banner Edward III. and the Black Prince both served at the siege of Calais—the highest honour ever paid to a subject—was a native of Hainault.
