Notes - Sir Hugh de Payen, supposed to be younger son of Pagen of Domesday, and because he was younger, was without inheritance, went with Robert of Normandy on the first Crusade in 1099. He remained for some time in Palestine, and with Godfrey St.Omer founded the Order of the Templars of the Cross, which attained great size and power during the Middle Ages. (See Ridpath's History of the World") He was sent by King Baldwin II of Palestine as envoy to the Kings of France and England, and he was a very famous crusader. Hugh D. and his brother Edmund Paiene were the first of the family to have both given and surnames.
