heaved a sigh of relief when hugh fell from power and was executed in november 1326 2 for years john received endless letters from hugh that basically say do this do that go over there right now no not like that you fool like this i m keeping a copy of this letter and you ll regret it if you don t do exactly what i say don t make me hurt you after years of falling over himself to do everything that hugh wanted in exactly the way he wanted it done this was john inge s reward to be threatened with being harmed then imprisoned with his councillors because he had angered hugh in some way chroniclers tell us that even the great english magnates were frightened of hugh despenser the younger and queen isabella certainly was it s not hard to see why below part of sir john inge s petition to edward iii requesting that he and his guarantors might be pardoned the remainder of their debt to the late hugh the younger sources 1 calendar of close rolls 1318 23 pp 723 4 calendar of patent

pinterest 12 october 2022 the abduction and ordeal of elizabeth luttrell 1309 i recently wrote a post about sir geoffrey luttrell 1276 1345 who commissioned the luttrell psalter around 1325 30 and his involvement in an attack on sempringham priory lincolnshire in 1312 geoffrey s son and heir andrew from his marriage to agnes sutton was most probably born around easter 1313 and they had other children too younger sons named geoffrey b before 1320 guy and robert and daughter isabella who in 1345 was a nun of sempringham priory 1 geoffrey and agnes also had a daughter called elizabeth who suffered a very distressing experience when she was abducted and raped it is virtually certain that this was a case of child rape elizabeth luttrell must have been a good bit older than her four brothers she first appears on record on 1 june 1309 when she was already betrothed to a young man named walter son of walter gloucester 2 on this date elizabeth and walter the younger were granted the reversion of the lincolnshire manors of ingoldsby and skinnand which is a deserted medieval village plus lands and meadows in welbourn and navenby also in lincolnshire ingoldsby is less than three miles from the luttrells chief manor of irnham and about ten miles from sempringham priory and the gloucester family also owned manors in lincolnshire sir walter gloucester senior elizabeth luttrell s father in law died not long before 26 august 1311 and his inquisition post mortem of september that year says that his son and heir walter was seventeen on 15 january last or eighteen on christmas day next this gives walter a date of birth around christmas 1293 or mid january 1294 though i can t find his proof of age or any mention of it in the chancery rolls walter junior s mother or stepmother was named hawise and she outlived her husband by more than twenty years and was still alive in the early 1330s 3 walter jr and his younger brother john attacked hawise s lincolnshire manor of heydour not long before 8 october 1321 and stole twenty oxen eighteen horses and sixty six pigs plus jewels and silver vessels wonder what was going on there apparently a family dispute 4 elizabeth luttrell gave birth to her son inevitably also named walter gloucester around easter 1316 according to her husband s inquisition post mortem walter however proved his age ie twenty one sometime before 19 july 1336 which strongly implies that he was born before july 1315 on 10 july 1336 he was said to be aged twenty one years and more 5 walter was only a couple of years younger than his uncle andrew luttrell the eldest of his mother s four younger brothers and given that elizabeth gave birth in or around 1315 she must have been born in c 1300 at the latest sometime before 23 july 1315 possibly while elizabeth was pregnant or had recently given birth her husband and his brother john were accused of attacking the manor of one william mortimer in ingoldsby with a multitude of horse and foot men the brothers besieged william s house threw stones and shot arrows at the doors and windows finally gained entrance to the property by setting fires outside the doors and stole the unfortunate william s goods after tying him up 6 hmmmm i see a pattern emerging here walter gloucester died not long before 20 february 1323 at not yet thirty years old and on 12 may that year hawise founded a chantry for her late husband walter d 1311 and for her son or stepson having evidently forgiven him for his theft of her livestock in 1321 elizabeth received her widow s dower on 20 october 1323 and on 7 march 1324 she and her father geoffrey luttrell jointly acknowledged a debt of 100 7 in the summer of 1309 before she married walter something horrible happened to elizabeth luttrell already living with her future husband s family she was abducted from somewhere called laund i m not sure where that is probably launde in leicestershire or lound in nottinghamshire by john ellerker and raped i don t know how old the unfortunate elizabeth was when she suffered this ordeal but she was certainly a child or at the very most in her early teens her father geoffrey was only thirty three years old in 1309 and her four brothers were still years away from being born john ellerker was a clerk and ellerker presumably where he came from is a village in yorkshire about ten miles from beverley and thirty from york there s a huge number of entries in the chancery rolls and elsewhere during the reigns of edward ii and iii relating to john ellerker the elder and john ellerker the younger who were oddly enough brothers the majority of the entries deal with people acknowledging debts to the two men and one of them was chamberlain of north wales at one point i have no idea if one of them was the man in question or if they were unrelated it appears that the john ellerker who abducted and assaulted elizabeth luttrell was later the rector of willingham by stow in lincolnshire became a canon both of beverley and york in the 1320s and was a royal clerk 8 from this entry in the archbishop of york s register dating to early 1315 ellerker was illegitimate the first piece of evidence for ellerker s abduction of elizabeth luttrell dates to 1 july 1309 the tuesday next after the feast of st peter and st paul 2 edward ii when the close roll records an e nrolment of agreement between sir walter de gloucester knight and john de ellerker clerk concerning the abduction by the said john of elizabeth daughter of sir geoffrey luterel at laund she being in the company of amice de gloucestre 9 the sir walter gloucester named here means elizabeth s soon to be father in law and i assume amice was the daughter of the older walter and sister of the younger walter and elizabeth s future sister in law the ill feeling of his victim s father and future father in law towards ellerker was understandably so bad that john langton bishop of chichester and chancellor of england felt compelled to intervene he persuaded geoffrey luttrell and walter gloucester the elder to remit not only their ill feeling but all actions challenges etc they might wish to undertake against john ellerker it appears that ellerker had become infatuated with elizabeth as he had to declare on pain of paying 1000 that he will not claim the said elizabeth as his wife in court christian or ravish or abduct her or cause her to be ravished or abducted he has sworn upon the gospels that he will not procure the abduction nor rape of the said elizabeth nor induce her to leave the company of the said walter gloucester the elder how ellerker might claim to be married to elizabeth when he was in holy orders is not clear to me and numerous other details of the story are not explained such as how exactly ellerker abducted elizabeth on his own or with accomplices how a clerk became so dangerously infatuated with a young girl of noble birth where he took her after the abduction and how she was freed and restored to her natal family or the gloucesters it certainly seems that elizabeth s father and father in law believed that she remained at risk from john ellerker even after her release elizabeth s mother agnes sutton and future mother in law hawise gloucester i don t know hawise s maiden name must also have been deeply concerned and distressed by what had happened to her but are not mentioned in the record of the agreement thanks fourteenth century england the agreement between john ellerker and sir walter gloucester the elder does not directly state that ellerker raped elizabeth after he kidnapped her but on 5 august 1309 edward ii pardoned ellerker for the rape and abduction of elizabeth daughter of geoffrey luterel this was done at the instance of hugh le despenser and was recorded on the patent roll 10 which hugh despenser was not specified but at this stage of edward ii s reign the name hugh despenser used alone basically always meant hugh the elder b 1261 later earl of winchester not his son hugh the younger later lord of glamorgan i don t know whether hugh despenser the elder had any real connection to john ellerker or whether the latter had merely persuaded a well known courtier and ally of edward ii to use his influence with the king i did find a connection between hugh the elder and walter gloucester the one who died in 1311 and was elizabeth luttrell s father in law on 5 february 1309 just months before this tragic situation occurred walter was one of the men who witnessed sir thomas gredley granting his manor of pirton to hugh the elder 11 as elizabeth was still named as daughter of geoffrey luttrell in july and august 1309 she evidently hadn t married the younger walter gloucester yet i m not sure what became of her after march 1324 when she and her father acknowledged a joint debt the year after she was widowed though i have wondered if the isabella nun of sempringham priory named as geoffrey s daughter in his will of 1345 might in fact be elizabeth the names isabella and elizabeth were often used interchangeably it would hardly seem surprising if elizabeth sought a religious life in widowhood after experiencing such a horrible attack in her youth whatever happened to her i sincerely hope she found some measure of happiness after surviving such an awful ordeal though her husband robbed the manors of at least two people and seems to have been pretty wild to be fair there s no evidence that walter gloucester harmed the people he stole from or was violent as noted above john ellerker sadly thrived after his abduction and rape of elizabeth becoming a rector and a canon it strikes me that he might also have been very young in 1309 albeit not as young as elizabeth a john ellerker archdeacon of cleveland appears on record several times in 1351 12 if this is the same man he was still active forty two years after 1309 and the situation reminds me somewhat of john berenger s rape and abduction of elizabeth hertrigg in 1318 when they were both about fourteen elizabeth s son walter gloucester the third probably born in 1315 married a woman named pernell and they had two sons john born around 1 august 1349 and peter born c 1354 55 walter died on 10 july 1360 and pernell at the beginning of 1362 their first son john died sometime in the eighteen months between his father s death and his mother s probably aged twelve and peter gloucester died on 24 september 1369 although peter had married a young woman called alice who received dower after his death he was only about fourteen or fifteen when he passed away and left no children 13 unless elizabeth luttrell had other children i haven t discovered her line ended with her two grandsons in the 1360s of her younger brothers andrew lived to be seventy seven geoffrey seems to have died young guy died before their father but left four sons and a daughter and robert became a knight hospitaller and was still alive in 1345 sources 1 early lincoln wills ed alfred gibbon pp
