The de Carteret family was perhaps the greatest of the patrician families of the Channel Islands. Their influence on the Island lasted from the 10th century until the present time.

John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville by William Hoare

Origins

[edit]

The family originated from Normandy where their ancestor Guy de Carteret was the first Lord of the Barony of Carteret in Normandy. The family sided with William the Conqueror in the Norman conquest. Years later Renaud de Carteret I returned from First Crusade and took the parish of St Ouen by force, establishing the family's presence in the Channel Islands. A descendant of Renaud de Carteret I named Hellier de Carteret colonised the island of Sark and became the first of the Seigneurs of Sark. During the English Civil War, the Great-Grandson of Hellier de Carteret, Sir George Carteret became a prominent Royalist and Friend to King Charles II, he was made Vice-Chamberlain of the Household, Treasurer of the Navy, Member of Parliament and made a Baronet.[1][2] He was also granted lands in the Carolinas and in what eventually became the state of New Jersey. His descendants later became Barons Carteret and the Earls of Granville.[3]

Their ancestral seat is Saint Ouen's Manor, Jersey, still today owned by persons of that name.
