- About Sir Hugh Corbet, Jarl of Caux
The Corbet family seems to have established in the Pays de Caux before the Conquest, and it seems likely that their later castle in Shropshire - Caus - takes its name from this region. "Corbet" seems to have been already been a surname before the Conquest, but there is no firm evidence concerning the given name of Corbet the Norman.
The legend, which dates from at least 1664, is that the Corbets were hereditary standard-bearers to the Dukes of Normandy from the time of Rolf the Granger, and that they took their name from the crow or raven (Fr. corbeau) depicted on that standard. The various branches of the family in France and England used at least one raven in their coat of arms.
Corbet the Norman seems to have been a junior member of his family, but he and his descendants continued to hold Norman as well as English lands until the loss of Normandy to the French in 1204, when the entire fee [totum feodum] which Robert Corbet had held from the Count of Alençon was granted to the Mayor of Falaise. Corbet and his sons Roger and Robert are said to have fought with William the Conqueror at Hastings, but this cannot be proven. About 1071-1072 Corbet received a large number of manors, mostly in Shropshire, from Roger Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury. He seems to have died before 1086, as he is not named in the Domesday Book.

It is thought that possibly an ancestor may have been standard-bearer to Rollo, and have derived his name from the raven, Rollo's emblem, which he carried.
"The Corbet" (his Christian name seems to have been Hugh) had four sons, Hugh, Roger, Renand, and Robert. Hugh and Renand remained in France, while Roger and Robert went with their father, Hugh, to the battle of Hastings.
Corbet gave his name to the Pays de Caux, a tract of country between Rouen and Havre, which had Candebee for its capital. If one happens to go up the Seine from Havre to Rouen, one is struck with the picturesque appearance of Candebee.
