King Edwy - King Edgar - Outlawe - Dunstan
Harold II - An outlaw bears a wolf's head
Outlawe Timeline   -        Isle of Ely - History 

The Wolf was a respected animal to the Anglo-Saxons, 
it symbolizes loyalty, power and freedom

From "A visitation of the seats and arms of the noblemen and gentleman of Great Britain by Bernard Burke"  it says ; 

"The Outlaws derive their descent from a family who were banished to Ireland by King Edwy, for political offences "
[See: Was the Outlawe's banishment associated with Saint Dunstan? (patron Saint of Goldsmiths)] or Earl Harold?

Ireland was at that time overrun by wolves, and they redeemed the liberty of returning the next year, when King Edgar reigned, by sending in so many wolves' heads to the government. 

They were also able to prove their innocence of the crime imputed to them ; and, ever since, their arms have been, argent, a saltier gules, between four wolves' heads, couped, proper; but so indignant were they at their unjust condemnation that they determined to retain the name of Outlawe, in order, as they said, to cast obloquy on the unjust monarch who banished them. 

 Symbolic Meaning of the Outlaw Arms and Crest

ARMS Argent a saltire gules between four wolves' heads couped proper. 
CREST A demi-wolf proper wounded in the shoulder by an  arrow or head and feathers argent embrued gules. (British Museum-Stowe).

Ancient Translations:

ARMS Silver: a red saltire between four wolve's heads severed and in natural color.
CREST One half a wolf couped proper pierced through the side with a gold arrow, feathered and headed in silver. the arrow lying bent to the right.

In 1620 we find the eldest branch of the family seated at Little Witchingham, in Norfolk, but in 1670 that branch became extinct [in England], and a cousin, Henry Outlaw, Attorney-at-law, of Haddenham, in Cambridgeshire, then became the representative. He married a lady of good fortune, Miss Hare of Beckenham, in Kent, whose fortune was invested in the South Sea speculation ; after her husbands death, when she was quite advanced in years, she was taking a nap after dinner, according to her usual custom, when a neighbour, half frantic, rushed in, and throwing up his arms in an excited manner, exclaimed "Oh! Mrs Outlaw, we are all ruined! the South Sea speculation is all a bubble! we have lost everything!" she was so alarmed that she had a paralytic stroke, and died. 

Her only son Thomas, married Sarah Underwood, co-heiress of Thomas Underwood Esq., and their eldest son, Rev. Robert Outlaw, was Rector of Longford, in the county of Salop". So this gives us the name of Thomas' parents.

The Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, and its Grand priory of England
In 1540 Henry VIII dissolves Hospitaller's , The greater number of the Knights retired to Malta, and of those who remained several were executed, being charged with having denied the King's supremacy. Of these, Sir Adrian Fortescue, Sir Thomas Dingley and Sir Marmaduke Bowes, were beheaded on Tower Hill, and Sir David Gunston was hanged, drawn and quartered at St. Thomas Waterings, in Southwark.

Shield of the Knights Hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem, 12th Century
As already mentioned, the Knights Hospitaller were actually formed before the Templars (circa 1070); however they did not become a military order until some time later. ... The first military brethren employed by the Hospitallers may have just attached themselves to the Hospitallers, rather than being full members of the Order; because initially the Hospitallers saw their primary duty as being the care of pilgrims, rather than fighting the Saracens. However, it was soon realized that the care of pilgrims included making sure that they reached their destinations safely, as well as the protection of the Order's hospitals. By the 1130s the Hospitallers were being given castles to re-build and garrison; and by the 1160s the Order was accepting full-time military brethren. These men carried black shields emblazoned with a white cross.

The Order of Saint Thomas - The Knights of Saint Thomas  was established in 1191, at Acre - Membership was restricted to Englishmen.
...The purpose of the Order was tending to the sick and wounded, and burying the Christian knights who fell in battle in the Holy Land...about the year 1279, as the purposes of the Order shifted from that of religious hospitallers to a more military role...At the fall of Acre, 12 May 1291, the Master and nine knights of the Order were killed...London premises being reported as being in ruins by 1330.

Shield of the Knights Hospitaller of St. Thomas of Canterbury in Acre. 

The Knights of St. Thomas was an English order which was formed during the Third Crusade. It was never a large order, and it eventually disappeared in the mid-fourteenth century. However, it is known that a contingent fought in the defense of Acre in 1291; and they may even have taken part in the notable sortie on the night of the 15th April. The Crusaders sallied forth against the Saracen besiegers, and initially took them by surprise. Unfortunately, they pressed their advantage too far, and some of the Crusaders' horses tripped over the Saracens' tent ropes in the darkness. This allowed the Saracens to rally, and the Crusaders were repulsed with heavy losses.

Wolf as Protector of Kings

Norse myths were told in the Poetic Eddas, but they were not written down until the 13th century

One who wishes to take another's life must get up early like the wolf.

Wulf is on one island I on another. That island, surrounded by fens, is secure.

1050 - Helgi Hundingsbane - can safely be dated, on the basis of other evidence, after the year 1000 - composed probably not earlier than the second quarter of the eleventh century - The Ylfings' son -  
His eyes flash sharp | as the heroes' are, 
He is friend of the wolves; | full glad are we."

Cambridge Guild Records - So many people were dying of the Plague that they had no one to leave their money and property to, and the living inherited a great deal, so they formed (and left their goods to) the Cambridge Guilds, and with those funds, created some of the greatest colleges in the world. The Outlaw's were no exception.

990~1010AD - "Utlage raised this stone in memory of Eyvindr, a very good thegn" Ballstorp, Edsvära, Västergötland, Sweden

Mary Magdalene - In Hebrew, "pillar" is a "M'GD'L" or "magdal." So the name "Mary, the Magadalene" means "Mary the Pillar (of her tribe)." She was the chief heir of the tribe of Benjamin.

The Twelfth Tribe of Israel - the Tribe of Benjamin had been singled out for a very special and exalted blessing, when in Deuteronomy 33:12, Moses pronounced blessings on the patriarchs of each of the twelve tribes.  Of Benjamin, Moses said, "The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders."  

This symbolism later became a red cross between the shoulders.  This symbolism has carried down to modern times. 
This 'red cross' has even been claimed as the origin of the Knights Templar

Cross-legged Knights indicate that the person so represented died in the Christian faith. As crusaders were supposed so to do, they were generally represented on their tombs with crossed legs. 
“Sometimes the figure on the tomb of a knight has his legs crossed at the ankles, this meant that the knight went one crusade. If the legs are crossed at the knees, he went twice; if at the thighs he went three times.”—Ditchfield: Our Villeges, 1889. 

Outlaw Genealogy Page

I am an Outlaw. Our family story is that we relate to pre-conquest Anglo-Saxons as shown on the left panel.  

We are possibly Wuffings from Angeln Denmark/Sweden and descended from the men of King Edgar and St. Dunstan. It appears that a few Utlagh's retained some of their lands after the conquest around Norfolk at the Isle of Ely. Very much an Ivanhoe story.  We are possibly related to the Hospitaller Knight of St. John, Sir Roger Outlawe in Ireland. 

Now it seems that a first name used by native pre-conquest Danish/Saxon people in England  was "Utlag" (the g is not pronounced) and a likely scenario is that after the conquest when surnames were the Norman fashion, children were given Christian/Norman names like "Walter", they began to refer to themselves as "Walter 'son of (fil fitz de le)' Utlag" and then "Walter de/le Utlag" etc... see: The English of the upper and middle classes hastened to bestow upon their children the Christian names of their conquerors

The earliest documented use of the name Utlag is found on Rune Stones in "Geatland" Sweden where the Wuffings originated. "Outlaws" were also Norwegian Danes that were pushed out of there homeland and left for Sweden and other lands like the Orkney Islands, Dublin Ireland, Bristol Wales, Kent England or Iceland. See Viking Outlaw Origins

Our family is one of the original American Southern Families, coming from Norfolk England to Norfolk Virginia in 1665.  All Outlaw's for the most part descend from Edward Outlaw, the younger brother of Captain John Outlaw who ended up remarried in Quebec

The Outlaw Family have served and fought in the French Indian Wars, The Revolution, War of 1812, War between the States, WWI, WWII, Korean Conflict, Vietnam...  
Outlaw men are generally Auburn-Red-Copper haired , Dark Blue/Grey eyed, and six feet or taller... 
Examples: 
1777 Alexander Outlaw was a man of large frame, six feet, blue eyes, sandy hair and red mustache.
1837 Congressman David Outlaw - Awkwardly tall, he stood a bony six-three, with red hair, fair skin, and thick glasses.

Outlaw Chapel
OUTLAW'S CHAPEL - [send me a photo!]

The chapel mentioned above located on Wm Dukenfield's land, [Merry Hill] was nearly a day's journey to Cashy, the location of the new County Courthouse. In 1760, the families who lived there: Lockhart's, Outlaw's, Hill's, Gray's, Whitmel's and Clifton's wanted a church of their own.

In studying the Court Minutes, Harry Thompson was able to determine that a chapel (first known as simply Cashy Chapel) did exist as it is mentioned in various ways. 

A deed dated Nov 12, 1777 from Ralph Outlaw and David Outlaw to Alexander How and Humphree Hardee, Church Wardens for Society Parish, an acre of land on the Outlaw plantation is the indication of this Chapel.

The Chapel can also be seen on the Collet and Mouzon maps. The exact location is not known, nor are there any known records from this Chapel. We can assume that it was active while the town of Cashy was thriving (1744-1769). The Revolution brought about a disregard for the Church of England, and no doubt affected this Chapel as well...and it may have been used by Baptists and Methodists. The first record of Episcopal services in Windsor is about 1830, so those years in between are missing in our history.

Dossey A. Outlaw Plantation  - Mississippi National Register of Historic Places - 

MISSISSIPPI, OKTIBBEHA COUNTY, Outlaw, Dossey A., Plantation, 2173 Oktoc Rd., Starkville, 02000354, LISTED, 4/11/02

Dossey A. Outlaw came to Oktibbeha County from North Carolina at the age of nineteen. He was a member of the first board of Police of the county when he was but twenty-one.
Outlaw and Beverly had the first brick store in Starkville. Outlaw bought large tracts of land from the Indians. He returned to North Carolina and married Clara Eliza Harris, Jan. 29, 1835. He remained in North Carolina a few months. When he returned to Mississippi his wife's mother came with them; also his half brother Napoleon Askew; also his stepfather, David O. Askew, his step-father wife, and their children then born unto them.
Also among this crowd coming to Mississippi from Bertie County, North Carolina was Coom Morgan who was dissatisfied at home. He remained in Outlaw's employ until after the War between the States. Hence we see the origin of Morgantown of this county, for it is made of descendants of Mr. Morgan, who was so esteemed by the Outlaws." info from Mr. P G Suddeth. in "1937 History of Oktibbeha County, Mississippi"

Joseph Anderson - In 1792, Anderson married Patience Outlaw, the daughter of Tennessee pioneer Alexander Outlaw. His wife's dowry included land along the Nolichucky River in what is now Hamblen County (but then part of Jefferson), where the Andersons built their home, Soldier's Rest. In 1796, Anderson and his father-in-law Alexander Outlaw represented Jefferson County at Tennessee's constitutional convention in Knoxville. ... Anderson's son, Alexander Outlaw Anderson, served as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee from 1840 to 1841, and helped organize the government of the State of California in the early 1850s.

Alexander Outlaw later moved to and died in Cahaba Alabama in 1826 - 

Judge David Campbell - 1779, he married Elizabeth Outlaw, the daughter of Colonel Alexander and Penelope Smith  Outlaw.  By 1783 David and Elizabeth had left Virginia, moving  across the state line to (now Greene County, Tennessee) Washington District, NC. 

On March 11, 1811, he was appointed Judge of Mississippi Territory by President Madison, but his health had been impaired and his death occurred before he served in that capacity. He had sold his Loudon County home to General William Lenoir and moved his family to Rhea County in early 1812. He died and was buried there in November 1812. His widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Outlaw Campbell, continued to live on the Rhea county plantation until 1819, when she sold the place to John Lock, a prominent citizen of the county, and moved with her unmarried children to Cahaba, Alabama, where her father, Colonel Alexander Outlaw, had located. Judge David Campbell and his wife Elizabeth Outlaw Campbell had eleven children.

ELEVENTH REGIMENT. By COLONEL W. J. MARTIN and CAPTAIN E. R. OUTLAW, Co, C.  - First Lieutenant Thomas W. Cooper was killed at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863, and Second Lieutenant Edward R. Outlaw was promoted to Captain.

On the night of 7th April, in a consultation of the officers of the Eleventh Regiment, Captain Outlaw, of Company C, was advised to take charge of the flag and see that it was not lost.

It was removed from the staff, the silk cover replaced, and during the 8th of April it was not unfurled and no one knew but that the flag was on the staff. When General Lee rode to the front and through the lines to meet General Grant, every one knew that the hour of surrender had come. The officers present with the regiment at once retired to a secluded thicket, and raking up a pile of twigs and leaves, committed the flag to the flames. Before burning it. Captains Outlaw and J. M. Young tore out pieces of each color. Sincere tears have often been shed around funeral pyres, but never more bitter and sorrowful tears bedewed any ashes than were shed over their dead flag. It had been given by the Legislature of North Carolina to the Bethel Regiment, and then committed to the keeping of the Eleventh. It had waved over it in triumph on many a bloody field. It had never been dishonored and they could not bear to see it the trophy of an enemy.

The Outlaw's - Wolves and their Wolfhounds

Wolves in the ancient lore were commonly associated with outlaws in general and seen to have many traits in common. ...The outlaw in Saxon society held a unique position. Outlaws because they were largely expendable were used to commit deeds that no one else were willing to do. Often the outlaw though feared and hated found themselves in the role of hero.  Úlfhéðnar are sometimes described as Odin's special warriors, with the pelt from a wolf and a spear as distinguishing features...protectors of  royal power. As late as 930ce King Harald I Haarfager (=Fairhair) employed Ulfhednar as his bodyguards.

Ralph - It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Ralph is "wolf counsel". 
The wolf is an animal with a reputation for being crafty. Rolf is a German form.

WOLF NAMES - the names of Odin's two wolves. Freki means"Ravenous", Geri means "Greedy".)

The Disappearance of Wolves in the British Isles

One of the nicknames used for Ireland at this time was “wolf-land”.

The presence of wolf throughout the Midlandian ice age which probably reached its peak around 18,000-20,000BP. 

The last wolf is said to have been killed in 1786

Wolves in Ireland - The ringforts, a common feature of the Irish landscape, were built partly as a defense against wolves and to protect livestock, over the period 1000 BC to AD 1000.

Irish Wolfhound History

♦Wolves were very numerous in England, King Edgar unsuccessfully attempted to effect their total destruction by commuting the punishment of certain crimes into the acceptance of a certain number of wolves' tongues from each criminal ; their heads were demanded by him as a tribute particularly 300 annually from Wales, a.d. 961 - which was paid for three years, but was then discontinued because no more wolves were left to be killed, a highly improbable story

In Britain, the month of January was set aside for hunting Wolves. January was called Wolfmonat, or Wolf Month... Lyrics and legends ...

Ogam - Ogham in America - Ancient Irish script found in Virginia and Carolina
At the time of sunrise, a ray grazes the notch on the left side on Christmas Day, the first season of the year, the season of the blessed advent of the savior Lord Christ. Behold he is born of Mary, a woman.

America’s First Christmas Card - Saint Benedict Center 
Saint Brendan’s account of his travels across the Atlantic, certainly predates the Viking voyages by some 400 years and establishes Irish visitors as early as the Sixth Century A.D., but no evidence had ever been found to support that claim.

Sacred Landscapes Prehistoric or Not Part 3

Ogham and the Irish in Britain  An interesting mix arose; by 400AD Irish and British were fully differing languages, and additionally Christians from both nations used different scripts (Latin and Ogham) for their memorials. Irish never replaced British in Wales the way it did in Scotland, but relative numerical strengths do not necessarily explain why; less obvious factors could be involved." - Physical evidence of the Irish presence in post-Roman Britain comes in the form of Ogham inscriptions

In Britain, they have been found along the western seaboard - south-west Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Devon and also in the Isle of Man

Robin Hood -  The idea of Robin Hood as a high-minded Saxon fighting Norman lords also originates in the 19th century. The most notable contributions to this idea of Robin are Jacques Nicolas Augustin Thierry's Histoire de la Conquête de l'Angleterre par les Normands (1825) and

Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe (1819). In this last work in particular, the modern Robin Hood - 

"King of Outlaws and prince of good fellows!" as Richard the Lionheart calls him - makes his debut.

Renaus de Montauban -    Ullage The englois  - "Outlaw the Englishman"

Britain in Medieval French Literature - the creation of a character named ' Ullage l'Englois ', Here the poet seems to have heard the English word 'utlage' (outlaw), ... and to have taken it to be a typically English proper name.  [ BUT WE know that Utlage's actually existed in that time period  [ 1150-1200 A.D.]  So this was not a "MISTAKE"! ]

“X” is actually indicating the Greek letter “Chi”, which is short for the Greek, meaning “Christ”. So “Xmas” and “Christmas” are equivalent in every way except their lettering.
