Origins
The earliest appearances of the family name was written Hoggel, Oggehill, Ogille and Oghill.
William the Conqueror granted a deed to Humphrey de Hoggell to enjoy "all the liberties and royalties of his manor" after the conquest. This ancient family seat was at Ogle, near Whalton. Their manor house there was licenced for crenellation in 1341, and became known as Ogle Castle.
The castles and towers which have belonged to the family are: The castles of Seven Shields, Ogle, Bothal, Harbottle and Copeland: The towers of Burradon, North Middleton, Cockle Park, Hirst, Choppington, Hepple, Tossan, Newstead, Downhem, Ford, Eglingham and the fortalice of Flotterton. (Ref: Ogle and Bothal 1902). There is also a possible 11th century link with the lands of Ogilface in West Lothian.
The Ogle line has royal descendants from King Edward I of England and King Philippe III of France through Maud Grey, daughter of Jane De Mowbray and Sir Thomas Gray of Warke; who married ca. 21 May 1399, Sir Robert Ogle, Knight, Warden of Roxburgh Castle, son of Sir Robert Ogle, Knight, of Ogle and Bothal Castles. (Cp. X, 28-29) (Ref: Living Descendants of Blood Royal, volume 5, 266).

Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato

Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.”
