The Seigneurs Trust- Preserving Ancient Tradition in a Modern Era
About the Trust
We are all one. Only egos, beliefs, and fears separate us." - Nikola Tesla
Our history
The history of the Seigneurs Trust is intertwined with the history of the Seigneurs and Dames of the Channel Islands. Dating back to the beginning of the Duchy of Normandy after the conquest of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Individuals were awarded Fiefs to administer in the Channel Islands, a system which ceremonially still exists today. The Trust was formed by two Seigneurs, Poingdestre in Jersey and Fantôme in Guernsey, to help contribute to the peoples of the Channel Islands and the United States.
Our mission
Our mission is to promote increased Anglo-American awareness and cooperation, particularly within the Channel Islands and the United States, through supporting Educational initiatives, historical preservation, and genealogical and family history.
