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).

Famous quotes containing the word origins:
“The origins of clothing are not practical. They are mystical and erotic. The primitive man in the wolf-pelt was not keeping dry; he was saying: “Look what I killed. Aren’t I the best?””
—Katharine Hamnett (b. 1948)
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
