1: Hugh de Belesduna - New Name (KLoI)
(NP) & New Badge (KLoI)
(Fieldless) A raven contounry sable, maintaining in its peak a threaded needle Or.
Submitter desires a masculine name.
Hugh is listed as appearing as a given name in England in Anglo-French contexts between 1245 and 1250. As found in the "Dictionary of Medieval Names
from European Sources" by G. Grim, J. Uckelman, S.L. Uckelman
Belesduna is found in "Little Domesday under Essex" in National Archives ref number: E 31/1/1/386.
The name Belesduna is one of the medieval names for the town of Basildon (Essex,England).
(https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D7296746)
But, if ones looks at the original entries which can be found in the Open Domesday https://opendomesday.org/place/TQ7189/basildon/ , two spellings can be found Belesdunain and Berlesduna. According to the website "Early History of Basildon" (https://www.basildon.gov.uk/article/2450/Early-History...#...) the spelling just changes further over time. So unless another source is found where the spelling really is Belesduna, our suggestion is that the name should be registered as Hugh de Berlesduna.
