One of the earliest recorded instances of the name PRESENDIEU can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, a comprehensive record of landowners and properties in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. This suggests that individuals bearing this surname may have accompanied the Norman invaders or settled in England shortly after the conquest.

The 15th century saw the rise of Guillaume PRESENDIEU (c. 1420-1492), a French clergyman and scholar who served as the Bishop of Montauban from 1472 until his death. His contributions to theological discourse and his involvement in the ecclesiastical affairs of the time earned him recognition among his contemporaries.

In the 16th century, the name PRESENDIEU is associated with Jehan PRESENDIEU (c. 1510-1572), a French merchant and explorer who is believed to have participated in voyages to the New World. His accounts of these expeditions provided valuable insights into the early exploration of the Americas.
