Bertram de Bulmer (1129-1130): Unusually, the de Bulmer family were not Norman, but of Saxon origin. This family seems to have thrown in its lot with the Normans from a fairly early date and, as a result, enjoyed considerable political advancement. Bertram, as Sheriff of York, was also given responsibility for the area between the Ribble and Mersey, and it appears that these duties remained with the de Bulmer family for many years - probably one of the few local families the Normans could trust. The de Bulmer's power-base lay in Yorkshire and County Durham, their family seat was at Bulmer near Malton, and the family was responsible for the foundation of two castles (Brancepeth and Sheriff Hutton). The name 'Bertram' was given to sons of a number of generations, and the arms of Sir Bertram (Sheriff (?) 1162-65) can be seen in the Shire Hall (he died in 1166). A Bertram de Bulmer is listed as being present at the signing of Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215 - he was one of the barons opposed to King John. Before long the male line of the de Bulmers ended and their lands passed, through marriage, to the powerful Neville family of Raby castle.
