Serlo de Burci

Norman feudal baron

Serlo de Burci was a Norman of the eleventh century. After the Norman conquest of England, he became a feudal baron and major landowner in south-west England. His feudal barony had as its caput the manor of Blagdon in Somerset. He is recorded in the Domesday Survey of 1086.

He is thought to have originated in Burcy, Calvados.

Serlo's daughter and heiress Geva married twice, her second husband being William de Falaise. Robert FitzMartin was her son by her first marriage to Martin de Turribus. His other daughter was sent to Shaftesbury Abbey to which the abbey received the endowment of the village of Kilmington, Devon.
