Edward Stourton, 10th Baron Stourton

Edward Stourton, 10th Baron Stourton

Edward Stourton, 10th Baron Stourton (c. 1555-7 May 1633) was a younger son of Charles Stourton, 8th Baron Stourton and Lady Anne Stanley, daughter of Edward Stanley, 3rd Earl of Derby. His father was executed for murder in 1557. He succeeded his brother John in 1588.

In 1605, during the Gunpowder Plot, Edward was imprisoned in the Tower of London due to his having received a letter from his cousin and brother in law, Sir Francis Tresham, telling him to be absent from Parliament. Francis was one of the conspirators of the plot.

He married his cousin, Frances Tresham, daughter of Sir Thomas Tresham. Edward and Frances had four children;

Nevertheless, the marriage is said to have taken place January 6th, 1545-46. Lord Stourton, in leaving her a legacy under his Will (as will be seen later), describes her, however, as "Mrs.
• https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/313/mode/1up
• Pg.313
• Agnes Ryse, dau. of the Countess of Bridgewater."(*) Lady Stourton was then (in 1548, when the will was made) living, and, in fact, survived Lord Stourton, not dying until 1560. Agnes Ryce (or Ryse) sued Lord Stourton's son in her maiden name after the death of Lord Stourton, and continued to so use it in all the proceedings. It has been stated, however, that, as "Agnes Stourton," widow, she administered to the will of William, 7th Lord Stourton, in July, 1557. It will, however, be shortly seen from the will itself that probate was granted of this same will on two occasions, viz., November 25th, 1548, immediately following upon the death of William, 7th Lord Stourton, and again on July 15th, 1557, after the execution and attainder of Charles, 8th Lord Stourton. Anne (not Agnes) Stourton, named in the later act of probate, was the widow of Charles, Lord Stourton, not of his predecessor. When Agnes Ryse married Sir Edward Baynton after Lord Stourton's death, she married him in her maiden name. The assertion in Collins's " Peerage " (taken from the Gentleman's Magazine) that she married Lord Stourton is certainly not proved by the evidence he brought forward to substantiate his contention. The allegation in the deed of 9th October, 1573, of Richard Gore, who had married Mary, daughter of Agnes Ryse, is hardly evidence admissible in law. There was nothing to prevent Richard Gore describing his wife Mary as a daughter of William, Lord Stourton, by Agnes Ryse, his wife. And although under the deed he appointed (nearly thirty years afterwards) Richard Askew as his lawful attorney, to enter on the lands of Lord Stourton and take possession for Mary Gore as the alleged daughter and sole heir of the 7th Lord, it is known that this had no effect. This Mary was the only issue of Lord Stourton and Agnes Ryse, and it is worthy of note that, in a pedigree recorded in the College of Arms (I., ix., p. 83), in which she appears as the wife of Richard Gore, no suggestion of bastardy is made, though her legitimacy is almost impossible. Charles, 8th Lord Stourton, moreover, undoubtedly succeeded his father as son and heir, inheriting the Peerage and all Lord Stourton's estates. The mere fact that the Court of Probate granted the 8th Lord Stourton Letters of Administration, with his father's will annexed, would seem to be prima facie evidence that Lord Stourton must have been the "natural and lawful son" of the testator. When Charles, Lord Stourton, sued Agnes Ryse, witnesses tried, but failed in the attempt, to prove that she was the legal wife of Lord Stourton. In the Inquisition Post Mortem of William, 7th Lord Stourton, Sir Charles Stourton, Knight (afterwards 8th Lord Stourton), was found to be the next heir. This was a complete answer in support of the validity of

According to the inquisition taken after the death of his father he was then aged 24 years and more, but according to the Particulars of Liveries he was aged 30 years when his father died. He must consequently have been born between 1518 and 1524, .... etc.
• His father dealt with giving him in marriage when he was quite an infant, viz., 4th April (1528), 19 Henry VIII. Under an indenture quoted at length later, William Stourton, Knight (his father), son and heir apparent of Edward, Lord Stourton (his grandfather), agreed with Walter Hungerford, Esquire of the Body to the King (son and heir of Sir Edward Hungerford, deceased), for the marriage of Charles, or failing him of Andrew, (the first and second sons of the said Sir William Stourton), with one of the three daughters (Elynn, Mary or Anne) of the said Walter(*). Neither of these marriages however, ever took place or were further proceeded with, and Charles, Lord Stourton, eventually married by license (granted 10th February, 1548) Anne, daughter of Edward Stanley (t), third Earl of Derby, K.G., K.B., Viscount Kynton, Lord Stanley and Strange, Lord of Knokyn, Mohun, Bassett, Burnal and Lacy, Lord of Man and the Isles, by Dorothy his first wife, daughter of Thomas (Howard) second Duke of .... etc.

  • IV. — Mary Stourton, who married Thomas Tregian, of the County of Cornwall. In the 1688 illuminated pedigree, Thomas Tregian is said to have died in Portugal in the year 1608. The Tregian arms are therein emblazoned "argent, on a chief dancette sable, three martlets or." Catherine Trudgean, called "cousin", had a legacy under the will of Francis Stourton, of Over Moigne. Edward, 10th Lord Stourton had the reversion of the estate, and sought the custody of Mary Tregian, a Papist recusant. Francis Trowgian was sued with Edward, 10th Lord Stourton, by Francis Tresham, uncle of this Mrs. Mary Tregian. When Benjamin Tichborne was released from prison on condition that he would act as a spy on his fellow Catholics, his first letter to Lord Keeper Puckering, dated May 28th, 1594, reported "meeting with one Byrd, brother to Byrd of the Chapel. I understand Mrs. Tregian, Mrs. Charnock, and Mrs. Sybil Tregian will be here at the Court [at Greenwich] today."
  • V. — Anne Stourton, who married Edward Rogers, of Feltham, near the town of Frome, Co. Somerset. They were the parents of Father John Rogers, alias Bamfield, who it appears was born on the property of his father at Feltham aforesaid, and who, in his statement(+) records that "at length my uncle. Lord Stourton(§) asked my father what he could do for me, and proposed my entering the service of his wife, the Lady Stourton(ll)." The Rogers arms as emblazoned in the 1688 pedigree are "argent, a chevron between three bucks courant sable.
  • VI. — Catherine Stourton, who married, as his first wife, Richard Sherburne, of Stonyhurst, in Lancashire. She is called on the inscription at Mitten Magna, to the memory of her son and heir, "wife of Richard Sherburne, Esq., that died April 17th, 1629, aetat 83, and daughter of Charles, Lord Stourton, and niece to the Right Honorable Henry Stanley, Earl of Derby, &c." She was married in the 20th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Her husband was captain of the Isle of Man, a position he doubtless owed to his wife's relationship to the Stanley family. He is stated to have been the founder of, or the one who completed, the manor house at Stonyhurst. Although his death is given on the above inscription
  • https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/417/mode/1up
  • Pg.417
  • as having occurred on the 17th of April, 1629, the registers at Mitten Church record his burial on the 3rd of April, 1628. The Sherburne arms are "quarterly 1 and 4, argent, a lion rampant vert : 2 and 3, vert, an eagle displayed argent." Stonyhurst, which had been the property of the Sherburne family from the times of the early Plantagenets, eventually devolved on Maria Winifred Francisca Sherburne, who married Thomas, 8th Duke of Norfolk, and in 1794 Stonyhurst Mansion was chosen as the seat of an English Catholic College, in which many of the Stourton family have been educated.
• With the death of Charles, Lord Stourton, one epoch of the history of the House of Stourton came to a close. To that point the Stourton family had been steadily increasing in influence, in position, in wealth and in importance. The execution and attainder of Lord Stourton were the beginning of that long catalogue of misfortune, of reverse, and of persecution through which the House of Stourton was to pass in the centuries which followed. Lord Stourton s infant son succeeded to a sadly diminished inheritance.
