LUTTRELL, OF DUNSTER CASTLE.



LUTTRELL, FOWNES JOHN, esq. of Dunster Castle, in the county of Somerset,
and Nethway House, Devonshire, member of parliament for Minehead, b. 26th Au-
gust, 1787, s. to the estates at the decease of his father, in 1816.

Mintage.

Luttrell, of East Quantockshead, living temp.
Edward I.) acquired by grant from the
crown, in the 11th Edward III., certain
lands and rents in Chilton, in the county of
Devon, which shire he represented in par-
liament in the 37th of the same monarch.
He m. two wives, by the first, Rose, he
seems to have had no issue ; by the second,
Joan, he had a son, his successor.

Sir Andrew Luttrell, of Chilton, who
had married in the lifetime of his father,
Lady Elizabeth Courtenay, second daughter
of Hugh, Earl of Devon, and widow of
Sir John Vere, knt. son of Aubrey de Vere,
Earl of Oxford, an alliance which connected
the Luttrells with the Royal House of
Plantagenet. The son of this marriage,

Sir Hugh Luttrell, resided at Dunster
Castle, which his mother, Lady Elizabeth,
had purchased from the family of Mohun ;
he was member of parliament for Somerset-
shire in the reign of Richard II. and suc-
cessively for that county and Devon. In
the 8th Henry IV. Sir Hugh gained a suit
at law against Edward Plantagenet, Duke
of York, and the other heirs of John Lord
Mohun, of Dunster,* by which he obtained
possession of the honours and Castle of
Dunster, lordship of Carhampton, &c. in
the county of Somerset. He was afterwards
ranger of Blackmore Forest, in Dorsetshire,
a privy-councillor to King Henry V., and
one of the commanders under that martial
monarch, at the reduction of Harfleur, in
Normandy, anno 1415, and at the memorable




The family of Luttrell, or Loterell,
was established in England by one of the
chiefs in the Norman Conquest, whose name
is to be found in the Roll of Battel Abbey.

In the reigns of Henry I. and King
Stephen, Sir John Luttrell held, in capite,
the manor of Hoton Pagnel, in Yorkshire,
which vested in his male descendants until
the time of Henry V. when it devolved
upon an heiress, who espoused John Scott,
feudal lord of Calverley, and steward of the
household to the Empress Maud.

The estates of Sir Geoffry Luttrell, knt.
in the counties of Derby, Leicester, Not-
tingham, and York, were confiscated in the
reign of Richard I. for his adhesion to
John, Earl of Morton, but they were res-
tored upon the accession of that prince to
the throne, as King John. Sir Geoffry
subsequently accompanied the king into
Ireland, and obtained from the crown a
grant of Luttrellstown, in that kingdom.
The descendants of Sir Geoffry were after-
wards feudal barons of Irnham, and one of
those barons, Robert de Luttrell, had
summons to parliament on the 24th June,
and 2nd November, 1295. (See Burke's
Extinct and Dormant Peerage.)

He was likewise seized of the manor of

Sir James Luttrell, who was made a
Knight-Banneret at the battle of Wake-
field, in 1463, and fell fighting under the
standard of Lancaster, in 1471. He was
subsequently attainted by King Edward
IV. and his castle of Dunster, lordship of
Carhampton, &c. granted to Sir Edward
Herbert, knt. first Earl of Pembroke. He

heiress of Sir William Courtenay, eldest

Hollingshed and other historians amongst
the persons of note in the west, who joined
the Earl of Richmond at his landing, and
were afterwards instrumental in quelling
the Devonshire insurrection. When the suc-
cessful issue of Bos worth placed the crown
upon Richmond's head, as Henry VII.,

diately restored, and he was subsequently
created a Knight of the Bath, at the coro-
nation of the queen, in 1487. He espoused,
first. Margaret, daughter of Robert Hill, and
half-enter (maternally) of Lord Daubeney,



' From a younger son of this Sir Hugh and
( 'atherine Beaumont, Robert Luttrell, who died

lands of Luttrellstown, in the county of Dublin,
descended the well known Irish family of Luttrell,

logne, and had the command of a hundred

likewise distinguished in arms, and was
made a Knight-Banneret, for his conduct at

third part of his estates, the other two thirds

Sir John himself, upon his next brother,

Thomas Luttrell, esq. M.P. for Mine-
head. This gentleman, in order to preserve
the estates which he thus inherited clear of
his nieces portions and of his brother's debts,
sold all the lauds in Devon and Suffolk, but
those were amply replaced by the estates
acquired ou his marriage with Margaret,
only daughter and heiress of Christopher
Hadley, esq. of Withycombe, and great
grandaughter of Philippa, daughter of Sir
Humphrey Audley, by Elizabeth, widow of
Sir James Luttrell. In consequence of this
