William Stourton began his career in the household of the Duke of Suffolk and his wife, ‘the French Queen’. In 1523 he went with Suffolk’s army to France and was knighted at Roye. When in 1524 his father succeeded as 6th Baron Stourton, he became heir to estates in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. Made a justice in these three counties in 1528-9, in the autumn of 1529 he was a natural choice as one of the knights of the shire for Somerset. His Membership was, however, to prove a heavy commitment, and on 31 Dec. 1531 he wrote to Cromwell asking that both his father, an aged and feeble man, and he should be excused attendance at the third session. .... etc.

Sir William Stourton, Lord of the Manor of Stourton, Co. Wilts., son and heir of Sir John Stourton, of Preston, Co. Somerset, and of Stourton, Co. Wilts., by Catherine, his wife, daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, confirmed by Hoare's copy of the College of Arms pedigree and by Edmondson. Collins placed him as eldest son of Sir John Stourton, by his second wife, Jane, daughter of Ralph, Lord Basset. Harleian MS. 1074 shewed him as eldest son of John Stourton without giving his mother's name. John Stourton, of Preston, senior, described himself in his will as brother of William Stourton, son and heir of John Stourton, sometime Lord of Stourton. In the inscription to Edith Stourton's memory she is called "Editha Soror' Will'i Storton." He appears to have been one of her trustees of the Manor of Ashmore, Co. Dorset. Sir William Dugdale started his pedigree of the Stourton family with this Sir William Stourton, stating that the family was of great antiquity in Wiltshire, taking its denomination from the town of Stourton, and it from the river Stoure, on the bank whereof it was situated.

He had a remainder in his father's Preston Pluckenet property in tail, contingent on failure of issue of his father by Alice, his wife.

.... that his son, John Stourton, called "Junior" (afterwards Lord Stourton), presented on the 5th of January, 1427.

Lord Stourton succeeded his father in the Stourton peerage on St. Catherine's day, 25th November, 1462(*). He inherited the vast estates which his father succeeded to, some of which descended paternally, as coming from Sir William Stourton, and some through his wife, Elizabeth Moigne ; and those which John, Lord Stourton, inherited under the charter of John Hame, and by purchase, as well as by favour of Henry VI.

With him at Salisbury were included Sir Maurice Berkeley, knight of his body, who was undoubtedly the father-in-law of his son, John, 3rd Lord Stourton.

Sir Maurice Berkeley, whose daughter, Katherine, became wife of John, 3rd Lord Stourton, was father of Sir William Berkeley, of Beverston, who died in 1486 sine prole, and Katherine, Lady Stourton, was his sister and heir.

This Sir William Berkeley married Katherine, daughter of William, 2nd Lord Stourton, and was heir of his father (among other estates,) to the Manor of Great Kingston, Co. Dorset, which was holden of George Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence. After his death Katherine (Stourton,) his widow, became wife of William, or we think Henry, Lord Grey, of Codnor, and she, as Katherine, Lady Grey, was Lady of the above Manor, and as such she, about the 18th November, 1503, granted to her brother, William, 5th Lord Stourton, the right of patronage pro hac vice, who then presented William Turner to the rectory there.

In these records he mentioned particularly William, 5th Lord Stourton, who had at that time succeeded to the peerage. He also named his own sister, Katherine Berkeley, as Dame Katherine Stourton, who was then the widow of John, 3rd Lord Stourton. She married (2) William, or, as we think, Henry, Lord Grey of Codnor, and as Katherine, Lady Grey, she was, as widow and executrix of her first husband. Sir William Berkeley, Lady of the Manor of Great Kington, which he had held as heir to his father in 1474, and about the 18th November, 1503, she granted to her brother, William, 5th Lord Stourton, the right of patronage, pro hac vice, who then presented to that rectory.

On her marriage in 1476, her father, William, Lord Stourton, gave her under her marriage settlement a portion of 100 marks, which Prince, in his Worthies of Devon, thus curiously commented on, when he said it was "a portion held so very small in this (his) age, that a very ordinary farmer, or shopkeeper, would be loath to give it with a daughter, or take it with a wife." .... etc. James Chudleigh, by Margaret (Stourton) his wife, left issue, and they were ancestors of the now extinct house of the Baronets Chudleigh, of Ashton, Co.

Lord Stourton died on the 13th of December, 27th of Henry VIII., and William Stourton was found to be his son and next heir, then aged 30 years and more, and he accordingly succeeded. Lord Stourton, as will be seen from the foregoing copy of his will, bequeathed his body to be buried in the north aisle of St. Peter's Church at Stourton, in which church a tomb was raised showing the sepulchral effigies of Lord and Lady Stourton, on which were impaled the respective arms of Stourton and Fauntleroy, the accompanying illustration of the figures on the tomb being reproduced from the work of Sir Richard Colt Hoare. Lord Stourton, by his wife, Agnes (Fauntleroy), Lady Stourton, had issue :

I. Peter Stourton,(*) eldest son. He died unmarried, and in the lifetime of his father. No authority has hitherto correctly described him as eldest son, which he undoubtedly was, as is evidenced by the indenture between his father and Edmund Dudley, by which it was agreed that the said Peter should marry a daughter of Edmund Dudley. In this indenture, which is a contemporary document, and which is quoted in full in the Inq. P. M. of Charles, 8th Lord Stourton, Peter is described as son and heir apparent. That he died before his father is proved by the fact that the latter in his will omits all mention of Peter, and describes Sir William as his son and heir. There is also the definite statement in the same Inquisition that Peter died at Stourton before the solemnization of the projected marriage, and that therefore William, the second son, &c. The Inq. P. M. will be found printed in full in the Appendix.
II. The Right Honourable Sir William Stourton, who succeeded as 7th Lord Stourton, of Stourton, Co. Wilts, in the Peerage of England, and of whom hereafter.
III. Roger Stourton, of Ruston, Co. Dorset, J. P., second son, and not eldest son and heir, as stated in the "'Cotnplete Peerage."

Lord Stourton married Elizabeth, daughter of Edmund Dudley, Esquire, one of the Privy Council to King Henry VII.(*) Elizabeth Dudley(t) was half-sister of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland.(+) The contention that Lord Stourton married a second wife in the person of Agnes Ryse, the daughter of the Countess of Bridgewater, seems untenable, and is disputed by the actual facts. 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. .... etc.

The river Stour has its source in the six springs within the parish, which are represented on the coat of arms borne by the Stourton family.

This ancient family undoubtedly resided here in very early times, but there are no records to shew that they were landholders in Wilts till the reign of Edward I., when a Nicholas Stourton was holding one knight's fee here under the Lovells of Castle Cary, co. Somerset.(*)

In the fourteenth century the manor was held under that of Castle Cary by the Fitz Payn family. Early in the fifteenth century the Stourtons must have become owners of the manor, for in 1427 John de Stourton was granted a licence to enclose a park of 1000 acres, in 1428 he presented to the Rectory, and in 1448 he was created Baron Stourton. The property, largely increased by marriages with the heiresses of Moigne and Chidiock, remained in possession of the Stourton family till about the year 1720, when Edward the twelfth Baron sold the manor of Stourton and other lands to Henry Hoare, Esq. Old Stourton House, a large and curious building retaining all the internal arrangements of old baronial days, was then pulled down and the present mansion of Stourhead was built.(f) .... etc.

The parish church (dedicated to St. Peter) formerly contained many memorials of the Stourtons. Aubrey mentions many escutcheons in stone and glass, all of which, with one exception, are now gone. There is, however, a fine monument with recumbent figures of Edward the fifth Baron, who died in 1536, and his wife Agnes Fauntleroy. These figures are engraved in Hoare's 'Modern Wilts,' vol. i., page 45. There are also some inscriptions on black marble slabs covering the Stourton vault, and as Sir R. C. Hoare's transcripts in 'Modern Wilts' are not quite accurate, I print them again here. .... etc.

On a wreath of the same colour, a fleur-de-lis ar. between two angels' wings, displayed azure. Shields three infants' heads coupled, argent, cringed or.

Motto: "Enfant du sor."

The first known of the name of Fauntleroy was living in Dorset, England, in 1721. An undying tradition ascribes the paternity of the family to John, King of Frances, who was a captive at Windsor Castle, from 1356 to 1364, by a morganatic marriage with Catherine Grandeson, Countess of Salisbury, a member of the Courtenay family.

The first from whom an unbroken line was traced was John Fauntleroy, who married Joanna Whalley, of Purbick. Issue :

I. John Fauntleroy2. Married Elizabeth Wadham.

Wilts., by Catherine, his wife, daughter of Henry, Lord Beaumont, confirmed by Hoare's copy of the College of Arms pedigree and by Edmondson. Collins placed him as eldest son of Sir John Stourton, by his second wife, Jane, daughter of Ralph, Lord Basset. Harleian MS. 1074 shewed him as eldest son of John Stourton without giving his mother's name. John Stourton, of Preston, senior, described himself in his will as brother of William Stourton, son and heir of John Stourton, sometime Lord of Stourton. In the inscription to Edith Stourton's memory she is called "Editha Soror' Will'i Storton." He appears to have been one of her trustees of the Manor of Ashmore, Co. Dorset. Sir William Dugdale started his pedigree of the Stourton family with this Sir William Stourton, stating that the family was of great antiquity in Wiltshire, taking its denomination from the town of Stourton, and it from the river Stoure, on the bank whereof it was situated. He had a remainder in his father's Preston Pluckenet property in tail, contingent on failure of issue of his father by Alice, his wife. https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/103/mode/1up Pg.103 Sir William Stourton married, 21 Richard II., Elizabeth, daughter and coheir of Sir John Moyne, of Maddington, Co.

Sir William Berkeley, Lady of the Manor of Great Kington, which he had held as heir to his father in 1474, and about the 18th November, 1503, she granted to her brother, William, 5th Lord Stourton, the right of patronage, pro hac vice, who then presented to that rectory.

The Duke was made Constable of Wallingford Castle 1 https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/275/mode/1up Pg.275 Henry VII.

He escaped with Warwick to Calais(*). Sir Walter Wrottesley was Lord of Perton 9 Edward IV., was buried in the Grey Friars Church, now Christ Church, London, in 1471. He came of an ancient family long seated at Wrottesley, co. Stafford, (where the present Lord Wrottesley, his descendant, now resides,) by Jane, his wife, daughter and heir of William Baron, Esquire, of Reading, Co. Berks, one of the Tellers of the Court of Exchequer temp. Henry VI. and Edward IV. This William Baron (or his father), is mentioned in Fullers Worthies as one of those bearing arms from their ancestors. .... https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/279/mode/1up Pg.279 The exact date of the death of this Lord Stourton is stated to be February 17th in the various Inquisitions taken after his death. His will was proved in March, 1523. He left no issue whatever and consequently his lands and honours passed to his brother Edward, who thereupon succeeded as 6th Lord Stourton. https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/292/mode/1up Pg.292 The Right Honourable Edward, sixth Baron and Lord Stourton of Stourton, Co. Wilts, third son of William, second Lord Stourton, by Margaret (Chidiock) Lady Stourton, his wife, succeeded as sixth Lord Stourton at the death of his brother William, fifth Lord Stourton. He was probably born about the year 1462. .... etc. https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/293/mode/1up Pg.293 Edward, 6th Lord Stourton married Agnes, daughter of John Fauntleroy, of Marsh, near Sherborne, Co. Dorset, by Joane, his wife, daughter and co-heir of John Walsh of Purbeck in that county. On the 2nd January, 21 Henry VIII., Lord and Lady Stourton granted the Manor and Advowson of Upcerne, and lands, tenements and hereditaments there, with one moiety of Melbury-Osmund, to their son, Roger Stourton and Joan, his wife, and the heirs male of Roger Stourton, under the yearly rent of L20, payable to the grantors during their respective lives ; and Lord and Lady Stourton released the reversion in the same premises to Roger Stourton and his heirs on 1st January. 26 Henry VIII(*). .... https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/n352/mode/1up Pg.299 Lord Stourton died on the 13th of December, 27th of Henry VIII., and William Stourton was found to be his son and next heir, then aged 30 years and more, and he accordingly succeeded. Lord Stourton, as will be seen from the foregoing copy of his will, bequeathed his body to be buried in the north aisle of St. Peter's Church at Stourton, in which church a tomb was raised showing the sepulchral effigies of Lord and Lady Stourton, on which were impaled the respective arms of Stourton and Fauntleroy, the accompanying illustration of the figures on the tomb being reproduced from the work of Sir Richard Colt Hoare. Lord Stourton, by his wife, Agnes (Fauntleroy), Lady Stourton, had issue : I. Peter Stourton,(*) eldest son. He died unmarried, and in the lifetime of his father. No authority has hitherto correctly described him as eldest son, which he undoubtedly was, as is evidenced by the indenture between his father and Edmund Dudley, by which it was agreed that the said Peter should marry a daughter of Edmund Dudley. In this indenture, which is a contemporary document, and which is quoted in full in the Inq. P. M. of Charles, 8th Lord Stourton, Peter is described as son and heir apparent. That he died before his father is proved by the fact that the latter in his will omits all mention of Peter, and describes Sir William as his son and heir. There is also the definite statement in the same Inquisition that Peter died at Stourton before the solemnization of the projected marriage, and that therefore William, the second son, &c. The Inq. P. M. will be found printed in full in the Appendix. II. The Right Honourable Sir William Stourton, who succeeded as 7th Lord Stourton, of Stourton, Co.

Christopher Stourton, of Little Langford, Co. Wilts, married Elizabeth Dennis. In the illuminated pedigree dated 1688, now in the possession of Lord Mowbray and Stourton, she is described as "daughter of . . . Dennis of Kent." The Dennis arms are there blazoned "argent, a fesse nebuly purpure between three fleurs-de-lis azure." Stourton Gate and Stourton Hall were known in Little Langford, the Lords Stourton being Lords of Little Langford and Alton Dangens as early as the reign of Edward IV. Christopher Stourton is mentioned in the survey of his fathers manors, lands, tenements, and other hereditaments in 27 Henry VIII.

Wilts, in the Peerage of England, and of Stourton House, in Tothill Fields, Westminster,(*) was Knighted the 1st of November, 1523, and was Deputy-General of Newhaven and the Marches adjacent in France. He was by birth the second, but was the eldest surviving son and heir of Edward, 6th Lord Stourton, by Agnes (Fauntleroy), Lady Stourton, his wife. .... etc. https://archive.org/stream/historyofnobleho01mowb#page/312/mode/1up Pg.312 Lord Stourton married Elizabeth, daughter of Edmund Dudley, Esquire, one of the Privy Council to King Henry VII.(*) Elizabeth Dudley(t) was half-sister of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland.(+) The contention that Lord Stourton married a second wife in the person of Agnes Ryse, the daughter of the Countess of Bridgewater, seems untenable, and is disputed by the actual facts. 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. .... etc. ______________________________________ Collectanea topographica et genealogica (1834) https://archive.org/details/collectaneatopog01londuoft https://archive.org/stream/collectaneatopog01londuoft#page/312/mode...

This ancient family undoubtedly resided here in very early times, but there are no records to shew that they were landholders in Wilts till the reign of Edward I., when a Nicholas Stourton was holding one knight's fee here under the Lovells of Castle Cary, co. Somerset.(*) In the fourteenth century the manor was held under that of Castle Cary by the Fitz Payn family. Early in the fifteenth century the Stourtons must have become owners of the manor, for in 1427 John de Stourton was granted a licence to enclose a park of 1000 acres, in 1428 he presented to the Rectory, and in 1448 he was created Baron Stourton. The property, largely increased by marriages with the heiresses of Moigne and Chidiock, remained in possession of the Stourton family till about the year 1720, when Edward the twelfth Baron sold the manor of Stourton and other lands to Henry Hoare, Esq. Old Stourton House, a large and curious building retaining all the internal arrangements of old baronial days, was then pulled down and the present mansion of Stourhead was built.(f) .... etc. https://archive.org/stream/registersofstour00harl#page/n9/mode/1up Pg.iv The parish church (dedicated to St. Peter) formerly contained many memorials of the Stourtons. Aubrey mentions many escutcheons in stone and glass, all of which, with one exception, are now gone. There is, however, a fine monument with recumbent figures of Edward the fifth Baron, who died in 1536, and his wife Agnes Fauntleroy. These figures are engraved in Hoare's 'Modern Wilts,' vol. i., page 45. There are also some inscriptions on black marble slabs covering the Stourton vault, and as Sir R. C. Hoare's transcripts in 'Modern Wilts' are not quite accurate, I print them again here. .... etc. _________________________________ Some prominent Virginia families (1907) http://www.archive.org/details/someprominentvir04pecq http://www.archive.org/stream/someprominentvir04pecq#page/294/mode/...

Shields three infants' heads coupled, argent, cringed or. Motto: "Enfant du sor." The first known of the name of Fauntleroy was living in Dorset, England, in 1721. An undying tradition ascribes the paternity of the family to John, King of Frances, who was a captive at Windsor Castle, from 1356 to 1364, by a morganatic marriage with Catherine Grandeson, Countess of Salisbury, a member of the Courtenay family. The first from whom an unbroken line was traced was John Fauntleroy, who married Joanna Whalley, of Purbick. Issue : I. John Fauntleroy2. Married Elizabeth Wadham. II. William Fauntleroy2, D.
