The family name morphing as it did perhaps this might be the original derivation indicating the family was from Rouen and not Rochester as previously surmised.
Raoul de Rovencestre – recorded as being given
fiefdom of Lenault, after Battle of Caen August 1047. One assumes since this
fiefdom is recorded in this family that there is a familial relationship
between Raoul and Turold de Rovencestre. Also this Raoul was recorded as being
the Constable of Rochester Castle in England at, or after, this time.
Turold de Rovencestre [de Rouvencestre], Châtelain de
Rochester (England). ca 1050-/1110, also Connétable de Bayeux [Calvados,
Normandy]
Individual
Note:
So in Domesday, 6 6, 7, we find " Radulfus filius
Turaldi de Rovecestre as a tenant of Bishop Odo in Kent. In 1086, however, it
is stated that Dernic held the manor of CHALDON of King Edward, and at the time
of the Domesday Survey it was held by Ralph FitzTurold of Odo Bishop of Bayeux.
(fn. 9) With other lands held by Ralph FitzTurold of the Bishop of Bayeux it is
subsequently found attached to the honour of Rochester Castle. Turoldus et
Ansgotas de Rovecestre figurent comme arrière-tenants dans le Domesday Book
(Ellis t. II, p. 385) ; ils étaient les vassaux de l'évêque de Bayeux Eude dans
son comté de Kent. Ce Raoul de Rouvencestre, que nous retrouvons (p. 18, 1. 27)
comme l'un des tenants de l'honneur du Plessis-Grimoult, est probablement le
fils de Turoldus (Bulletin de la Société des antiquaires de Normandie).
Chaldon Manor [Tandridge District, Surrey, England]-
Chaldon Manor aka: Chalvedune] was described in the Domesday Survey (1086) as
being “2 hides. Land for 2 ploughs; they are in Lordship. A church.” A ‘hide’
is defined as the amount of land that supports one family and can be ploughed
by a team of eight oxen in a year, and while the actual area of a hide varied,
an estimate of 100 – 120 acres is often used. In ‘Lordship’ is defined as
meaning the land owned by a tenant in chief (someone who held it directly from
the king) and also sometimes refers to the fact that they farmed it directly
rather than it being farmed by peasants.
Chaldon was a sub-Manor of Banstead, and the Banstead Court
Rolls from the 14th to the 17th century show the tithing man of Chaldon
attending to pay the dues of the tenants of Chaldon. The amounts paid show that there were just
eight households in Chaldon Manor paying the fees for much of the 17th century.
There has been a manor house in Chaldon since at least
1275, probably much earlier, and it is assumed that this has been on the site
of Chaldon Court beside the church. Most of the existing building
of Chaldon Court has been dated (by dendrochronology – measuring the tree rings
in the timbers – undertaken in 2013) to 1366, and some significant alterations
were made to the building in about 1600 including adding fireplaces and
chimneys, and then 18th and 19th century alterations made while it was a
tenanted farmhouse.

Raoul I FitzTurold de Rovencestre, Seigneur de MONDÉSERT, born before 1070.
[Ralph] Radulfus Raoul FitzTurold de Rovencestre, born before 1070, deceased
after 1133, Seigneur Raoul de Mondésert. Also he was captain of Rochester
Castle in Kent, England, from where comes his last name. The fiefdom of Lénault
was hereditary, it is the eldest son who takes over.
2nd C: Richard
FitzTurold [alias fitzThorold, fitzTurolf], (died after 1103–06) (alias
fitzThorold, fitzTurolf) was an eleventh-century Anglo-Norman landowner in
Cornwall and Devon, mentioned in the Domesday Book. In the 13th century his
estates formed part of the Feudal barony of Cardinham, Cornwall,[2] and in 1166
as recorded in the Cartae Baronum his estates had been held as a separate
fiefdom from Reginald, Earl of Cornwall
Richard FitzTurold’s son was:
William FitzRichard of Cardinham, mentioned in deeds
in 1110 and 1130, date of death unknown. It has been suggested that William's
daughter and heiress Beatrix became the wife of Reginald, Earl of Cornwall.
