I have a numerous confusion of 11-13th c. English Bardolfs. Can anyone
point me to a definitive book/article to find my way? They seem not to
have had a classy peerage, so Cokayne and successors are no help. They
just marry into other people's lines, where they are always treated with
respect if not awe, but never any multigenerational details.

Thanks in advance.
