Burke tells us in his "Landed Gentry" the family of Baskerville is one of the most 'an- cient and honorable in England. "The fam- ily is of noble Norman origin, and came from the parish of Baskerville, on the Eng- lish Channel. It has ever maintained the highest rank among the gentry, and can boast of the blood of the Plantagenets. The head of the family. Martels de Baskerville was in the battle of Hastings in 1066. as one of the leaders of the army of William the Conqueror, with whom he had come over."t
