_Family of Manning of Norfolk._--Can any of your readers supply me with

an extract from, or the name of a work on heraldry or genealogy,

containing an account of the family of _Manning_ of _Norfolk_. Such a

work was seen by a relative of mine about fifty years since. It related

that a Count Manning, of Manning in Saxony, having been banished from

thence, became king in Friesland, and that his descendants came over to

England, and settled in Kent and _Norfolk_. Pedigrees of the Kentish

branch exist: but that of Norfolk was distinct. Guillim refers to some

of the name in Friesland.
