The Hunchback of Notre Dame

According to Hugh Jones the Marquis de Bouteville was a hunch back and was also know as the Tapster of Notre Dame due to all the battle flags he brought back. Hence the caricature of the "Hunch back of Notre dame". Adam de Boteville born about 1280 was detained for high treason. He was possibly dealt with at York for participating in the battle of Boroughbridge hence his brothers seemed to become John o' th'inn and Walter too i.e the Bucks Head Inn in Church Stretton where John practised Law. Thomas Earl of Lancaster took on the King in this battle and was beheaded, his father Edmund the Grandson of Isabelle Taillefer was a hunchback.   Curiouser and curiouser.

Botevyle in Scotland

It seems that the Botevyle family got as far as Scotland too, although we   think that the name there mutated to Bothwell over time.
