The name "de Wodehouse" is attested as early as in the 11th century, of one Bertram, of Wodehouse-tower, Yorkshire, who lived at the time of the Norman conquest.
An elaborate pedigree of the Wodehouse family of Norfolk is on record beginning with Sir Constantine de Wodehouse who is alleged to have flourished around 1100). This appears to be a 17th-century fake. John Wodehouse (died 1431) Member of Parliament for Norfolk and Suffolk, is the first of the family to be historically attested in Norfolk and arrived there as an outside administrator for the Duchy of Lancaster.
The augmented coat of arms of Wodehouose from this time has been blazoned '' sable a chevron or, gutte de sang, between three cinquefoils ermine'' with the crest on a wreath, an arm erect, holding a club in the hand and on a scroll the motto frappe forte^, i. e. "strike strong", and at the bottom Agincourt, supported by two wild men. The native English term for "wild man", woodwose (from a putative Old English *wude-wāsa "wood-being"), has been transformed to woodhouse by popular etymology due to their appearance as supporters in the Woodhouse coat of arms.
