The Clopton Family is constantly changing, a product of human history, its evolutions and revolutions. Very little is known about these first Cloptons. There is no record of their hopes and dreams, their fears and wishes, only the niggardly scraps of information contained in a few tattered and shattered legal documents remain to mark their lives. As the new millennium stretches before us let us look back to the year 1000 and begin our journey through time as the ancient ones whisper their stories. See "Of Norman Blood"

On a cold and wet morning in 1415, five thousands archers stood waiting at Agincourt. Henry Bolingbroke, later crowned King Henry IV, called to him the husband of Joan Clopton, the distinguished marshall of his army, Sir Thomas Erpingham. Sir Thomas brought the men into position. The elderly knight tossed his baton into the air and cried 'Nestrocque," his command answered with roars which echoed across the gentle countryside soon to be drenched in blood. And thus began one of the most famous battles in history, the Battle of Agincourt. One of the highest-ranking officers at Agincourt, Sir Thomas was immortalized by William Shakespeare in his play Henry V. See "In The Name of Jesus, Mary and St. George"

The Clopton Family is constantly changing, a product of human history, its evolutions and revolutions. Very little is known about these first Cloptons. There is no record of their hopes and dreams, their fears and wishes, only the niggardly scraps of information contained in a few tattered and shattered legal documents remain to mark their lives. As the new millennium stretches before us let us look back to the year 1000 and begin our journey through time as the ancient ones whisper their stories. See "Of Norman Blood"

On a cold and wet morning in 1415, five thousands archers stood waiting at Agincourt. Henry Bolingbroke, later crowned King Henry IV, called to him the husband of Joan Clopton, the distinguished marshall of his army, Sir Thomas Erpingham. Sir Thomas brought the men into position. The elderly knight tossed his baton into the air and cried 'Nestrocque," his command answered with roars which echoed across the gentle countryside soon to be drenched in blood. And thus began one of the most famous battles in history, the Battle of Agincourt. One of the highest-ranking officers at Agincourt, Sir Thomas was immortalized by William Shakespeare in his play Henry V. See "In The Name of Jesus, Mary and St. George"
