Hubertus de la Feld is the shared ancestral patriarch of most of the Field Family in the world. Somewhere on the internet while drilling into the genealogies deep into the past of the Field Family I discovered that someone associated Hebertus de la Feld with what I call "The Line Of Kings". There does not appear to be a foundation upon which to make this claim, however, it's still fun to think about :). And, ya know what? We do have just a few facts that suggest we would be descendants of kings. I'll lay out the facts we do know. Then a few purely theoretical musings from myself. Followed by "The Line Of Kings" [epic!].

Just The Facts:

First, a big thanks tFrederick Clifton Pierce i

there are a few We know from Burke's ​Landed Gentry

He went over with the crowd of foreigners who attended the Conqueror hither, his name appearing enrolled as the owner of lands in the County of Lancaster in 1069, the 3rd of William I. Burke also states that others of the name were proprietors of land in the same county in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and were descendants of Sir Hurbert- us. We have no authentic record of the companions of the Conqueror, and it is generally admitted by competent genealogists that the "roll of Battle Abbey" is imperfect, and has been tampered with. I It does not, therefore, help us in this matter. Burke is not always reliable, and when the writer* wrote to him for his authority for the statements in his book, he replied that he had forgotten where he found them, or from whom he had received them. The writer has not often met with the name in England prior to the middle of the thirteenth century. In the great roll of the Pipe there is mention of a Hugo de la Felde under the head of the
