Society of Descendants of the Conquest
The Society of Descendants of the Conquest is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Augustan Society, Inc. Online data is here.
This society was organized to further interest in the study of the Conquest and the individuals involved. Scholarly and genealogical data gathered are submitted to The Augustan Omnibus and the Family of Augustans project.
The society is governed by a Dean, appointed by and answerable to the President of the Augustan Society.
Membership Classes
Membership in the society is available in two non-exclusive classes:
Conqueror Class is open to those who can prove a lineage from William the Conqueror.
Companion Class is open to those who can prove a lineage from one of William's recognized companions.
Petitioners may apply for both classes simultaneously for the same price. The entry fee is $100 for one or two classes at once; $50 for adding another class later; plus a genealogist's fee of $5/generation for each lineage submitted, including corrections and extensions. No fees need attach for lineages or portions of lineages already recognized by The Augustan Society, and a credit will be issued for any such duplication.
Insignia
All members, in whichever category, must submit the entry fee, and will receive the certificate of membership and the insignia of the Society. Members may belong to more than one class.
