The following is copied from Hussey Manuscripts at:

A boot frequently appears in the various coats of arms of the Hussey families. It is 
suggested by John Horace Round in his "The King's Serjeants" [1911] that it was the 
boot or "hose" that gave the family its name. It is noted that the Husseys traditionally 
were boot butlers to the kings of England, and it is also noted that the Husseys were 
wine stewards to the royal families. [For details, see Berkshire section.]

If it could be found in Round's scholarly research where a Hussey, a Hose, a de la 
Huse or a Hosatus served a king who drank wine from a boot, then all the problems as 
to the source of the Hussey name could be solved in one fell swoop [or swallow.]

The earliest claimed progenitor of the Hussey family in Normandy is Hugh Hussey who 
in 1014 was married to a daughter of the third Earl of Normandy, who is conjectured to 
be a descendant of Rollo of Normandy.

It is believed that children born to Hugh Hussey include:

William Hussey born about 1030
Walter Hussey born about 1035
John Hussey born about 1040
Hubert Hussey born about 1045
