[edit] History
The Keynes family is descended (in England), before the time of William the Conqueror from William de Cahaignes from Normandy who was born around 1035.
The name originates in a Norman place name, either Cahagnes (Calvados) or Cahaignes (Eure).[1]
Katharine Keats-Rohan says of William de Cahaignes:- "Norman, from Cahaignes, Calvados, arr. Vire, cant. Aunay-sur-Odon [sic: the place in Calvados is Cahagnes]. Major tenant of Robert, Count of Mortain (half-brother of William the Conqueror) in several Domesday counties. He was Sheriff of Northamptonshire in 1086, and again in the early years of Henry I. His widow Adelicia made a grant for his soul to Lewes priory, with the assent of their son Hugh (Mon. Ang. v,14). His lands were divided between his three sons, of whom Hugh held the forest of Northamptonshire in 1129/30." [2]:
(This William was probably the son of the earlier William de Cahaignes and was born around 1060)
