• 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. This was a complete answer in support of the validity of

Charles, Lord Stourton, being dead before the completion of the Administration, Letters of Administration de Bonis non were granted on the 15th of July, 1557, to Anne, Lady Stourton, widow of Charles, Lord Stourton, deceased, (Wrastley 24). .... etc.

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.

• In the Inquisition taken September the 26th, 1633, after the death of Edward, Lord Stourton, William his eldest son and next heir was found to be of the age of 39 years or more (see page 491), and must consequently have been born about the year 1594. Though the baptismal registers of the parish church of Stourton commence in the year 1572, they contain no entry of his baptism, nor of that of his next brother Thomas.

• 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.
