Ancestors in this line go back through several generations of Claytons to Robert DeClayton. Robert was the lord of Clayton Manor, which is said to have been given to him by William the Conquerer with whom he fought in battle. Robert is said to have died in Battle near Penrith.
Ancestors in the Clayton line also go back through Richard I "The Fearless" Dukeof Normandy. On the side of Richard's mother, Espriota de Bretagne, the line goes back through Scotland and Norway to Sveide "The Sea King" Sviadrasson Viking Norse King. On the side of Richard's father, William Longsword, Duke of Normandy, the ancestors go back to Charles The Great, aka Charlemagne "Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire". This line goes back through Italy, France, Belgium and Germany. Some of the ancestors included are; Pepin "The Short" King of France, Pepin "The Fat", Clovis I "The Great" Meroving King of the Salic Franks, Clodius "Long Haired" of Franks King of West Phalia. Through the line of the mother of Clodius, Argotta of Franks, ancestors have been traced back to Francus King of west Franks who died about 11BC and his father Antharius King of Sicambria who died about 39BC and his father Cassander of the Sicambri. Through the father of Clodius, Pharamond, King of Franks the ancestors go back through several generations of Kings of Franks, to Clodius (Clodie) II of Franks who died about 20 AD.
