Trauille : William Travail witnesses a charter of Robert de Albini to Wallingford Priory; and "Radulphus Travel" gave four bovates and a toft at Wintrington, in Lindesey, to the Knights Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem. (Mon. Angl.) In the Norman Exchequer Rolls of the end of the twelfth century, I find a Walter Travail; perhaps the same Walter Travel whose heirs held land at Marshton, in Herefordshire, of the Honour of Weobley, temp. Henry III. This Walter de Travaille or de Travele occurs in the Rotuli Curiae Regis of 1194-1198; where I also find mentioned William de Trauuel, of Shropshire. In the subsequent notices it is often difficult to distinguish this name from Treville. In Gloucestershire the Travells "entered their pedigree in the Visitation of 1618, and bore for their arms Per pale, Azure and Gules, on a bend Or between two eagles displayed Argent, three mullets Sable: on a chief of the fourth three garbs Vert. They were seated at Weston."—Sir Richard Atkyns. Sir Thomas Travell, knight, held Venn, in Somersetshire, in 1772: "it is not probable that he resided here, as we do not find his name in the list of Sheriffs."—Phelps' Somerset.

Anselme tells us that, about the middle of the fifteenth century, the seigneurie of Traville-le-Roquefort passed to the Estoutevilles through Marie de Ste. Beuve, Dame de Cuverville.
