The battle in which Engenulf, Lord of Laigle died was fought against which Anglo-Saxon king?
Laigle family The Laigle family is among the best known of the families that came to England in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest. The family took its name from the town of L'Aigle. In the ducal period of Normandy it was the site of some strategic importance as it lay on the fringe of the duchy. The record of the 12th century chronicler Orderic Vitalis shows Engenulf, Lord of Laigle, to have been one of the very few proven companions of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He was the only prominent Norman noble to lose his life at the Battle of Hastings.
Battle of Blain The Battle of Blain, also called the Battle of Messac, was fought on 24 May 843 by the forces of Lambert II of Nantes and Erispoe, prince of Brittany, against Renaud, Frankish Count of Nantes. It arose from Breton resistance to Frankish power within Brittany and disputes over control of the County of Nantes. The defeat of the Franks led to a period of Breton expansionism.
