Post 192: The Puryer Origins; A partial review list.
---------------------------------------------------
PURYER,
The surname Puryer and its variants Perrier, Perryer, Peryer, Puryear, and Purrier may be of an origin in France of an occupational origin. The name may be derived from the Old French word "perrier or perrieur" indicating "one who cut or quarried stone". It is also possible that the name is of local origin, indicating "one who came from Perrier (stone quarry", the name of places in England and France.
'Holy Blood, Holy Grail'
Page 297.
"According to Wolfram, then, the Grail is a stone of some kind. ...Lapsit exillis might be a corruption of Lapis ex caelis - "stone from the heavens." It might also be a corruption of Lapsit ex caelis - "it fell from the heavens"; or of Lapis Lapsus ex caelus - "a stone fell from heaven"; or, finally, of Lapis elixir - the fabulous Philosopher's Stone of alchemy. ...And as we had discovered, Jesus, in the New Testament, explicitly equates himself with the "the keystone neglected by the builders" - the keystone of the Temple, the Rock od Sion."
This name can also be found in England, having been brought there during the Norman French invasion of 1066. Here it may also be derived from the Old English word "pirige or pyrige" meaning "a pear tree".
Notice the carving on the backrest of the Throne of St. Mark in Venice. The Tree of Life is shown with four rivers of Paradise flowing from its roots.
From the Book; 'The Norman People', Page 361.
"That of Perier was of P. in Bretagne (Des Bois), and descended from Budic, Count of Cornouailles c. 900, whose younger son Periou gave name to Perieres, Bretagne. A branch came to England 1066, and Matilda de Perer was mother of Hugo Parcarius, who lived t. Henry I. The name continually occurs in all parts of England: hence the Perys, Earls of Limerick. There was also a Norman family of Perers (see Perrier, Shakspeare), which bore different arms.

page 263. Chart; (Continuation of The Merovingian Dynasty - "The Lost Kings")
The line of ROTILDE, daughter of Charles the II, the Bald, of France, and SIGISBERT VI, "Prince Ursus" son of Helderic I, Count of Razes.
The line is indicated as being, "Line exiled to Brittany after failure of uprising against Louis II in 881."
Book: 'Bloodline of the Holy Grail', page 222 in the new book, page 268 in the old.
Slaughter in Languedoc; page 223 ...At that time, Provencal Languedoc was not part of France but an independent state. Politically, it was more associated with the northern Spanish frontier, having the Count of Toulouse as its overlord - a remnant of the Septimanian Kingdom.
Page 185 in the new book: 'King of the Jews',
The Jewish kingdom of Septimania (The Midi) was then established in 768, from Nimes to the Spanish frontier, with Narbonne as its capital.
Pages 111 and 112 in the new book: Mary Magdalene; Lady of the Lake,
"...The family was prominent in Aquitaine - an area with a name that also has roots in acquae ('waters') or acqs, as indeed does the town name of Dax, west of Toulouse, which stems from d'Acqs. Here, Merovingian kingly branches that evolved from the Fisher Kings became Counts of Toulouse and Narbonne, also Princes of the Septimanian Midi (the territory between France and Spain).
Another family branch, related through the female line, was granted the Celtic Church heritage of Avallon, with Viviane del Acqs acknowledge as the hereditary High Queen in the early 6th century. Subsequently, in Brittany, a correspounding male branch of the Provencal House del Acqs became the Comtes (Counts) de Leon d'Acqs in descent from Viviane I's granddaughter Morgaine."
Book: 'Armorial General - Riestap'
page 415,
Perrier (Barons du) - Lang. D'azur a la bande d'or, ch. de trois poires de gu., tigees de sin., posees dans le sens de la bande. les tiges en haut, la bande acc. d'un soleil d'or, pose au canton sen. du chef.
The same coat of arms appears in England under the name "Puryer", Azure, a bend or, charged with three pears gules, leaved vert, posed in bend the leaves up. In chief sinister canton a figured sun in splendour or.
P.S., The "Lang." stands for "Languedoc". And,
Azure is Blue;
Or is Gold;
Gules is Red;
Vert is Green.
