Robert Bruce, cousin of the Eustaces, directly descended by
several lines from both Charlemagne and David’s Queen Maud, was
eligible in every way. Robert de Bruce’s ancestor came into
England carrying the azure lion of Louvain, and must have been
of that house, whose Maud de Louvain was the wife of Count
Eustace I of Boulogne. Members of Robert’s family may well have
been granted estates in Normandy at, for instance, Brix as
tradition states, by a Conqueror anxious to procure both their
allegiance and their Flemish ability to provide trade. Robert de
Bruce very properly gave up the Louvain lion to Jocelyn de
Louvain, a senior son of the family, when that prince married
the heiress to the Percys; and the saltire, in the colours of
Boulogne, became the mark of Bruce. And Edward I’s rage and
dismay at Bruce’s coronation at Scone on March 27, 1306, may be
gauged by that curious ceremony some two months later in
Westminster Hall, on Whit Sunday, May 22, when he “caused two
live swans with gold chains about their necks to be brought into
the Hall, and laying his hands upon them, swore with all his
attendant nobles before God, Our Lady and the Swans’ that he
would be avenged on the Scots”. It was a highly expressive
action. Edward’s public vow-taking was half a defiance, half a
capitulation. The swan was then, as it is still, the central
heraldic mark of the arms of Boulogne. For the swan legend (in
spite of Lohengrin) seems to have originated at the castle of
Bouillon, which was the inheritance of Eustace II’s second son,
Godfrey of Bouillon. Scottish writers have followed a Celtic
tradition which preferred to allot the thistle to a legend of
Kenneth MacAlpine rather than give it its true (and much more
thought-provoking) significance as the personal emblem of
Godfrey of Bouillon, who led so many founders of Scottish
families on the First Crusade.
Investigation into the rise of the European nobility - where
they came from, who they were - has only recently become a
subject of interest to continental historians. These
20th-century researchers have put forward various theories; some
of them are in conflict with each other, chiefly because of
regional differences. But the belief that the noble families of
the northern part of the Continent were sprung from marriages of
Charlemagne s children with the commanders of his civil or
military’ administration,
retaining at least some of that power, is substantiated by
virtually all the genealogical documents that have survived
those distant times.
The regions where the ruling families were of Carolingian
descent embrace the “comtés” north of the Ile de France, east of
Normandy, west of Germany, including of course the whole of
Flanders - a description here used broadly to include
territories like Brabant and Hainaut which, though theoretically
independent, were in practice part of the political ambience of
the Flemish counts, and for long periods under their direct
control.
Flemish families separated by the events of 1066 and subsequent
years, making lives wholly apart for themselves in a Scotland
divided from Flanders by an absolute gap in both time and
distance, still possess armorial devices identical with those
borne by men in Flanders often of the same name. The Scottish
families of Flemish origin listed below are by no means the
whole of the Flemish contingent that went north at David I’s
request.

"Mr. Eugene H. Garnett, in a letter dated September 10, 1927,
said that his father, Gwynn Garnett, in 1901, prepared his line
of descent from John Garnett of Culpeper Co., VA, and from a
copy of his line I quote the following:
(He had been talking about Richard's parent's and their move to
Barren Co., KY)
".... The son, Richard Garnett, was a farmer, and from about the
year 1800 to 1839, he was clerk of the Circuit Court of Barren
Co. On August 17, 1800 he married Theodosia Stockton. Richard
Garnett died at Glasgow, Barren Co., KY, March 27, 1872. His
wife Theodosia, died at the same place in the year 1840."
(He goes on to list the 12 children of Richard and a number of
their descendants.)
From "A History of KY Baptists From 1769 to 1885," Including
More Than 800 Biographical Sketches, J. H. Spencer, Manuscript
Revised and Corrected by Mrs. Burilla B. Spencer, In Two
Volumes. Printed For the Author. 1886. Republished By Church
History Research & Archives 1976 Lafayette, Tennessee. Vol. 2,
pp 117-118 [Barren County]:
RICHARD GARNETT, whose father was the first permanent settler in
what is now Barren Co., was born in Virginia, about the year
1776. He came with his parents to the wilds of the Green river
country, while yet a boy. Arriving at manhood, he married a
daughter of Elder Robert Stockton. This marriage was blessed
with several children, of whom William Garnett, of Chicago, and
the wife of J. M. Pendleton, D. D., now of Upland, Pa., are
still living. Mr. Garnett united with the Baptists, in early
life, and maintained a spotless christian character till his
death, which occurred, at a great old age. He was Clerk of
Barren county Court, almost a half century, was in the KY
Legislature, during the term of 1841-2, was generally Clerk of
Green River Association, from 1826, till 1839, and served
Liberty Association, in the same capacity, from its
constitution, in 1840, till he was succeeded by his son-in-law,
Henry Eubank, in 1853. He died, about 1869, and doubtless
received a crown of righteousness.
