The House of Bellême was a prominent noble family in medieval France, particularly influential during the 10th and 11th centuries. They were known for their control over the region of Normandy and played a significant role in the political landscape of the time. The family produced several notable figures, including Hugh de Bellême, who was known for his military prowess and territorial ambitions. The House of Bellême was closely associated with the Dukes of Normandy, and their power often fluctuated due to alliances and conflicts with other noble families. Their legacy is marked by their contributions to the feudal system and the eventual rise of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
