BOYLE. Sir Richard B., father of Sir Robert B., one of the barons of Scotland '(\ho swore fealty to Edw. I. in 129G, was of Kelburne in N.B. It is probable that he was of Norman descent, and that the surname is a modification of Boville, as it was written Boyvill or Boyvile in the XIII. and XIV. cent. See Boville.
