Sir Stephen Perrott married Helen, the daughter of Marchion Ap Rice, Prince of South Wales at the beginning of the 12th century. &#8220;The valour and magnanimity of Sir Stephen gained him the respect and love of the Princess Ellyn&#8217;s people. Their son, Sir Andrew, claimed the kingdom of Wales, in right of his mother, and collected a body of forces in assertion of his right, but the King of England marched a numerous army into the country to take advantage of the disorders; the knowledge of which and a sum of money offered by the English king, through the Bishop of St. David&#8217;s, brought him to declare for that prince, who knighted him, on his doing homage for the land for twenty miles round Sir William&#8217;s camp, whereon he built the Castle of Narbeth, whose ruins are extant in Pembroke.&#8221; [Burke, John Bernard, The Roll of Battle Abbey.

Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Perrot, Parrott, Parrot, Perrott, Perot, Perott, Perrett and many more.<\/font><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Origin of the Perrott name The origin of the name PERROTT is far from clear.
