De La Poer name is long history back to the Counts of Poher in Brittany. Two of the Bishops of Salisbury were le Poers. One was Chancellor under King Henry. Same one that had the Cathedral built.
Group of le Poers invaded Ireland for England and the church. Dunhill was the location of the Baron le Poer. Power is another variation of the name and is popular around Waterford. It is a name with a lot of history, a lot of them had their time in light. There are multiple haplo ydna groups in the name also.

Somewhat the same thought. My wife and I have ancestors that together examined the body of Thomas Becket after his murder.

Thank you.  It is a difficult thing getting into a time period where surnames were not used, into time periods where they were used.

Hello, My last name is Poore and I found this discussion interesting. Poer is the name Roger of Salisbury went by and was brought to England by the future King Henry from Caen, Fr.  There is a bunch of history tied to Poer, Poore, le Poer, de la Poer, Poar, Poher, Power. I am related through Philip le Poer, brother to Roger of Salisbury also known as Richard Poore. Philip was the first lord of Amesbury. Father was Richard of Ilchester possibly.
