HUNTLEYs - probably of Gothic race

The Norman people and their existing descendants in the British dominions ...

Huntley, or Fitz-Baderon. William Fitz-Baderon held the barony of Monmouth, including 22 lordships, 1086 (Domesd.), and had, 1. Wyenoc, father of Gilbert, whose son Balderon held the barony 1165, from whom descended John de Monmouth, t. Henry IH. 2. Balderon, ancestor of the Huntleys. He, with his son John Trone, witnessed a charter of Wyenoc of Monmouth (Mon. Angl. i. 600). Balderon is mentioned as brother of Wyenoc (lb.). In the next generation Richard de Huntilande or Huntley held, 1165, with Balderon of Monmouth, a knight's fee from the See of Hereford (Lib. Niger). In the time of King John, Walter de Huntley held Hope Maloysel from John, Baron of Monmouth, and it was held of him by the Abbey of Gloucester (Testa", 63). Thomas de H., t. Henry IH., witnessed a charter of the same Baron (Mon. Angl. i. 601).

The ancestor of this house, William Fitz-Baderon or Baldran, appears to have been a scion of the lords or princes of Jarnac, in Angoumois and Saintonge, probably of Gothic race. In 973 Hugh, a son of this house, was Bishop of Angouleme (Bouquet, x. 248). Wardrade Loriches, Prince of Jarnac, with his wife Rixindis, founded the Abbey of Bassac, Saintonge, 1014 (Vigier de la Pile, Hist. Angoumois, ii. 19). He was succeeded by his nephew Baudran or Baldran, Prince of Jarnac, who had issue, 1. Peter (Gall. Christ, xiv. 151 instr.), ancestor of a powerful line of princes or lords of Jarnac, which became extinct; 2. William Fitz-Baldran, Baron of Monmouth 1086.
