https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juhel_de_Totnes
Juhel de Totnes was a nobleman and supporter of William the Conqueror.
He was the son of Alured/Alfred 'the Giant' de Totnais and Mary ?. He had a brother named Robert named in the foundation charter of Totnes Priory, c. 1087.
In 1069 Juhel was one of the leaders of the Breton forces on the Norman side, fighting against the remaining forces that had been loyal to King Harold. He had been granted by William the Conqueror the feudal barony of Totnes, Devon, and held many manors in south-west England, at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086, including Clawton, Broadwood Kelly, Bridford and Cornworthy. In about 1087, he founded Totnes Priory. He was expelled from the barony of Totnes shortly after the death of King William I in 1087. According to the historian Frank Barlow , King William II "replaced the Breton Judhel, whom he expelled from Totnes at the beginning of his reign for an unknown reason, with his favourite, Roger I of Nonant". However at some time before 1100 Juhel was granted the large feudal barony of Barnstaple, Devon.
