From a Post by Scott Denison 28 July 2008 in the Massey Family Genealogy Forum (Genealogy.com):
William de La Ferté Macé was the only French noble family holding land within Normandy (A Norse-occupied territory of France, of which William the Conqueror was Duke). The Barons of Massey were fair and well respected in England, but their ancestors in France were a brutal family respected more for their violent disposition than their titles.
