THE LUTERELS. 169
THE LUTERELS.
A small shield in the central west window of the vestibule to the
Chapter House gives another illustration of the bend, in which the charges
are in the field, and not on the bend itself, viz., azure, a bend between
six martlets argent.* Drake gives these as the arms of Tempest, which are
generally argent a bend between six martlets sable. They may be a variety
of this coat, and if so, are probably the arms of Sir Richard Tempest, born
1356, who married Isabel, daughter and heiress of John le Gras, of Studley.
His granddaughter married Richard Norton, of Norton Conyers.
They are more probably the arms of Luterel, which Papworth gives in
the same tinctures. The family of Luterel was descended from one of the
Norman chiefs who accompanied William the Conqueror to England.
Sir Geoffry de Luterel married Frethesant, second daughter and co-heiress
of William Paganel, lord of Irnham, whose arms (gules a cross patoncee
ermine) are in the sixth window from the west, on the north side of the nave.
In the 36th year of the reign of Henry III., Alexander, king of
Scotland, married Margaret, the eldest daughter of King Henry, at York
and upon collection of the aid on this
Minster, on St. Stephen's day, 1251 ;
occasion, "Andrew Luterel (probably son of the above) answered for fifteen
" knights' fiefs, the number belonging to the barony of Hooton." And he
is also mentioned as making a similar contribution at the marriage of Prince
Edward with Alianora of Castile. Geoffry Luterel, his son, died insane ;
and his brother Alexander died (a crusader) in the Holy Land. His son
Sir Geoffry was summoned to perform military service against the Scots
in the reign of Edward II., though he does not appear to have been ever
summoned to Parliament. He married Agnes, daughter of Sir Richard
Sutton, of Sutton and Worksop, co. Notts, whose arms (argent a fess between
three buglehorns, stringed sable)
aisle of the Choir.
are in the seventh window of the north
Sir Robert de Luterel was companion-in-arms of Edward I. in Wales,
and is mentioned in the muster-roll at Worcester, July i st, 1271 again at
;
Devizes, 1282; at Westminster, 1287; and at Darlington, 1291. He was
summoned to Parliament as Baron Luterel, of Irnham, 1296, and died possessed
of Irnham, in Lincolnshire, and Hooton Paganel, in Yorkshire. His
grandson, Sir Andrew, third Baron Luterel, married Beatrice, daughter of
Sir Geoffry Scrope, Lord Scrope of Masham, and I should fancy that these
are his arms. The estates and barony afterwards passed through the
families of the Hiltons, Thimlebys, and Conquests. Eventually
an heiress
brought the manor to Henry, eighth Lord Arundale of Wardour, through
whose daughter
it
passed to the Cliffords.
