Old Photograph Of David Levy From Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of David Levy from Glasgow, Scotland. The surname Levy was first found in île-de-France, where this remarkable family has been traced since the 12th century. The family branched into several other regions throughout France, and held lands and estates. One such branch extended to Bourgogne from Lugny in the 1400's, by Eustache de Lévis. He was the second son of Philippe, who was the Lord of Florensac and of Alix de Quélus. After his marriage to Alix, Dame of Cousan and daughter of Hugues Damas, Lord of Cousan and Alix of Beaujeu, Philippe became the owner of lands in Lugny in Charollais, which was one of the four largest baronies in the county and one that his descendants still hold.
