Turstin the Fleming

Abt 1045 - 1086  (42 years)

• Name	Turstin the Fleming
  	He is called "Turstin the Fleming" in a much later document. The conjecture, albeit not proved, is that he is one and the same as "Turstin fitz Rou" who carried the papal banner during the battle of Hastings. I agree with this conjecture, however, more research needs to be done, and positive proof may never be found given the antiquity of the issue. [1]
  Relationship	with Robert Alan Roy
  Birth	Abt 1045	France   [1]
  Military	1066 (Age 21)  [1]
  Before the Battle of Hastings, Duke William of Normandy had received a banner from the Pope. He asked Raoul de Conches and Walter Giffard to bear the standard into battle beside him, but both declined, possibly because of the grave danger. Torstin however, took up the banner and throughout the day, rode beside the Duke.
