Notes:
The noble family of Lutterell was
established in England by one of the chiefs of the Norman Conquest, whose name
is to be found in the Roll of Battle Abbey. Sir John Lutterell held the manor of
Hoton Pagnel in Yorkshire. The estates of Sir Geoffrey Lutterell, Knight, in the
counties of Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, and York were confiscated in the reign
of Richard I for his adhesion to John, Earl of Morton, but were restored upon
the accession of that prince to the throne as King. Sir Geoffrey accompanied the
new King to Ireland and obtained from the crown a grant of Luttrellstown in that
kingdom. The descendents of Sir Geoffrey were afterwards feudal Barons of
Irnham.
Sir Geoffrey died in the 2nd year of Henry III (1218) and wass
succeeded by his son, Sir Andrew De Lutterell of Iraham county. Perhaps this was
the sam person who is mentioned of Dunster Castle, and the Luttrells, the Earls
of Carhampton, were of the old baronial stock of Iranham. The origin of the
Luttrell's may be France, for the name derives from the French word "loutre"
meaning an otter. Sir Geoffrey can be regarded as the founder of the family in
England. King John sent him on diplomatic missions to Europe and gave him many
useful sinecures. His marriage to the heiress, Frethesant Paynell of Pagnell was
of more enduring importance for the family fortune was founded upon her
inheritance.[91502.ftw]
