  • Le chevalier Wadard est un personnage connu par sa présence sur la célèbre Tapisserie de Bayeux ; c'est donc un compagnon de Guillaume le Conquérant. Les historiens pensent qu'il faisait partie de la suite d'Odon, l'évêque de Bayeux, demi-frère de Guillaume le Conquérant. Il participe très certainement à la bataille de Hastings en octobre 1066, première étape de la conquête normande de l'Angleterre. Le Domesday Book, dans son chapitre consacré au Kent, fief d'Odon de Bayeux, montre Wadardus tenant de l'évêque six maisons à Douvres et divers domaines agricoles à Farningham, Maplescombe, Nurstead, Buckwell et Combe Grove.

Sur la tapisserie de Bayeux, il est représenté au panneau n°41 comme étant le gardien des magasins de l'armée normande. Représenté à cheval, on le voit surveiller les officiers de bouche, après le débarquement en Angleterre. Au-dessus de sa tête est indiqué en latin : « HIC:EST:WADARD », c'est-à-dire « Ici est Wadard ». (fr)
  • Wadard was an 11th century Norman nobleman who is mentioned in Domesday Book, and is depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry. Wadard was a noble who travelled to England in 1066 with Duke William of Normandy. He is depicted and named in the Bayeux Tapestry on a foraging expedition, and may have been in the logistics section of William's army. His portrait suggests that he held a senior rank. By the date of Domesday Book (1086), Wadard is recorded as a tenant of Odo, bishop of Bayeux, holding estates amounting to about 1,260 acres in Kent and elsewhere, and providing him with an income of around £127. His holdings included Farningham, Combe, and six houses in Dover, in Kent; Cassington, Thrupp, and Little Tew in Oxfordshire, Thames Ditton in Surrey; and Glentham in Lincolnshire. The 14th century chronicler William Thorne states that Scolland, Abbot of St Augustine's Abbey granted Wadard certain land in Northbourne for life, on condition that "he pay every year on the feast of Pentecost the sum of 30 shillings, together with a tenth part of everything he derived from the land". He is recorded as a witness to a land grant to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux, and he was also a tenant of St Augustine's Abbey. (en)
