Wynebald de Ballon

Who is Wynebald de Ballon?

Wynebald de Ballon, was an early Norman magnate. He was a son of Drogo de Ballon and appeared in England accompanied by his brothers, Hamelin de Ballon, later created 1st Baron of Abergavenny, and Wynoc de Ballon, about whom little is recorded. Whether any of the family fought at Hastings is unknown, but the two well-known brothers certainly assisted in the process of subjugating the English and Welsh which followed the Norman Invasion, as their many grants of land, given in gratitude for their services, attest.
