Mo32 =33 =35. Robert de Molyneux

the founder of the family, was so named, according to some authorities, from Moulins, a town of Bourbonnais, France. This doubtful as it probably took its origin from some place in Normandy. There is a village of Moulineaux, situated at the foot of a hill about ten miles from Rouen, where the church contains some curious sculpture of the thirteenth century. On the summit of the hill are the remains of an ancient stronghold known as the Chateau of Robert le Diable. Froissart also mentions the capture of a Castle of Molineux: The lorde Courcy and the lorde de Ryuer, so runs the chronicle, �beseiged Carentyne with great puissance, and at last they dyde so moche, that they had it by treatie, and so it was gyuen up to the obeysance of the Frenche kyng. Thus they had Carentyne, and put therein newe men of warre, and then departed and went to the Castell of Molineaux, and within three dayes they had it by treatie. Carentyne, or Carenton, is a town in Lower Normandy, situated on the river Douve.
