Savage family

Savage (French: le Sauvage, Latin: Silvaticus) is an Anglo-Norman surname which was used by several English and Anglo-Irish knightly or gentry families, several of whom were politically important in England or Ireland.

The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography gives specific articles for the following prominent branches:

The Ulster Savage family of approximately 1333–1519. They were lords of Lecale, in county Down. They held the castle of Ardkeen, and were seneschals of the liberty of Ulster.

Prominent members include the following:
