Much research into the early history of the Keyes family was undertaken by the late Sir Terence Keyes who died before the results of his investigations could be published. They show (1) that the name occurs frequently in the Lancastrian records, the Exchequer Rolls, and the Rolls of Knights Banneret (ED. I) under the following spellings: Keyes, Keyse, Keis, Kees, Kays, Kayes, Kiz, Kyz, Kys, Cays, Caius, Guiz, Guise, Guyz, Gyse, Gyz and Goyz; and (2) that a line of descent is traced from the Norman house of Guiz or Gyse, akin to the family of Guise, Baronet.
