Notes:

I thought that everyone might appreciate the following information taken from Col. W.H. Chippindall's history of the parish of Tunstall:
(quotation excerpts, pages 1-25)

The parish of Tunstall, situated in the north part of Lonsdale, is made up of four townships, viz. Cantsfield, Tunstall, Burrow-with Burrow and Leck. It is bounded on the north by the county of Westmorland, on the east partly by the county of York and by the township of Ireby, on the south by the river Greta and on the west by the river Lune. THE MANOR--At the date of the Norman Conquest(1066) Tunstall was one of the manors in Bentham held by Chetel. In the following century it wasincluded in the Hornby fee held by the Montbegon family who granted a moiety of the lordship of Tunstall to a family, using the local name, who fixed their residence in Tunstall Hall but subsequently changed it to Cantsfield. The other moiety appears to have been in the hands of a family of de Hornby. Later this moiety was acquired by the Tunstalls of Thurland who thus became lords of the whole manor. Younger sons were often enfeoffed of small holdings of land to provide a maintenance for them, and disputes would arise as to the exact terms of the grant. Such a dispute seems to be indicated by a final concord made at Lancaster on 20 January 1227 between "William son of Thomas de Tunstall, plaintiff, and Roger son of William de Tunstall, deforciant, respecting customs and services which William claimed of Roger from two oxgangs of land which Roger holds of him in Tunstall. Roger acknowledged the land to be the right of William. For this acknowledgement William granted it to Roger for life rendering 7s. 71/2d. and 1 lb. of pepper at two terms viz.:--one moiety at the Nativity of our Lord and the other at the feaast of St. Martin. After the death of Roger the land to revert peaceably to William and his heirs."(Lancs. and Chesh. Record Soc. v.70,p.31) After the move of the Tunstalls into Cantsfield, no considerable family resided in this township until the reign of James I... THE CHURCH--The earliest written notice which we possess of Tunstall church is that contained in the Great Survey ordered by William the Conqueror and carried out in the year 1086, wherein we read that Chetel (the Scandainavian thane) had four manors under his Yorkshire manor of Bentham: Wennington, Tatham, Farleton and Tunstall with three churches. As Wennington and Farleton had no churches, it follows that one of the three churches was at Tunstall, so that this church may be classed as built by some early Anglian or Scandinavian thane whose name has been forgotten. (possibly constructed in the 900s or c.1000) The edifice stands solitary in the fields with only the school and the newly erected vicarage near it. It seems probable that, when first built, it was in the neighbourhood of the thane's house and village situated on a lesser Roman road running from Overtown past Nether Burrow by Tunstall church to Tunstall village. The Normans (conquerors) would spare the church though they destroyed the village. The present dedication of the church is to St. John the Baptist; but its original dedication appears to have been to St. Michael, as Brian Tunstall in his will in 1513 desires to be buried in St. Michael's Church in Tunstall. (arhictectural features of the church are given in VICTORIA COUNTY HISTORY of LANCASHIRE). In 1334 John de Hornby of Ireby obtained the kings licence to alienate lands in Leck and Ireby to provide four pounds a year for a chaplain to celebrate daily in Holy Trinity Chapel in the church for the founder's soul. The chantry was founded accordingly, and in 1547, the incumbent, who appears to have been a canon of Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire, of which Hornby Priory was a dependent cell, was celebrating daily and aiding the curate there. In the sill of the northeast window is a Roman votive stone dedicated to Asclepius and Hygieia (the god of medicine and the goddess of health ) by Julius Saturninus. This stone would probably be brought from the Roman fort at Over Burrow which, in mediaeval times, was used as a quarry. There is a large stone altar slab on which four of the five consecration corsses can be seen. When the church was restored in 1907, a sepuchral slab was found and now lies just inside the west door. In front of a recess in the south wall of the chapel is a stone effigy of a knight in armour, believed to represent Sir Thomas Tunstall who had licence to crenellate Thurland castle and died in 1415; originally the effigy was in the recess but was taken out at the time of the restoration and could not be put back owing to the raising of the floor. ----------------
(Interesting point: Brian de Tunstall, son of Brian de Tunstall, slain at Flodden Field in 1513 was a member of the Knights of Rhodes. Nearby, close to the village, the remains of a monastery can be found. The monastery was under the control of the Hospitallers of Saint John, who became the Knights of Rhodes.
Their property was seized by King Henry VIII in 1539, and two English knights of the order suffered martyrdom for not giving their support to King Henry VIII. Strangely, Brian Tunstall also died in that fateful year, of causes we cannot determine. Was Brian murdered? What we do know is that the land of the order fell into the hands of the king..and today, only a few stones remain of what was once one of their holdings near Tunstall. The Grand Prior of the Order, William Weston was murdered and their power in Britain came to an end. But Brian bequeathed "his gold chain to his nephew Francis" in 1539. Obviously, as a son of
the famed "stainless knight," Brian took his vow seriously. W.H.T.)

THE TUNSTALL FAMILY

The earliest members of whom we have authentic information are William de Tunstall and his son Thomas who, on 5 November 1202, concorded at Lancaster regarding 100 acres of land, etc. in Cantsfield and Tunstall. (Lancs. Fines Lancs. and Chesh. Record Soc., 1, 14). The above named William de Tunstall had at least three sons and probably a fourth: 1. Thomas, son and heir; 2. William de Tunstall, to whom his father granted the service of his brother Roger who had two oxgangs of land by their father's gift. He married and had a son William de Tunstall and died before his brother Roger. This William son of William appears to be the person who married Katherine the widow of William de Kellet after 1242. 3 Roger first appears as a juror at an inquiry regarding the Priory of Lancaster in 1227. (Materials for Hist. of the Church of Lanc.) 4 There was probabnly a fourth son Nicholas whose son Adam brought an action at the Lancaster Assize in October, 1246 against William son of William touching an oxgang of land in Tunstall. Returning to Thomas, we find he married Matilda, daughter of Acarias de Austwick and as stated above was a party to the fine of the year 1202 and also to one in 1208 in which his wife and her sisters and brothers were plaintiffs regarding rent and multure of six carucates of land in Farleton in Lonsdale and Cantsfield. He left a son and heir: John who had lawsuits in 1279 and 1285; he was chief lord of Tunstall in 1292. John served in the Scottish War in the retinue of John de Buteturte and died about the year 1315, leaving a son William and a widow Gundreda who remarried Roger son of Matthew de Burgh. William de Tunstall III who succeeded was a minor in 1315, when his wardship was claimed by John, son of Robert de Harrington, and he came of age in 1328 when the Abbot of Croxton claimed a debt of 20 marks from him, in which suit hewas described as William son of John son of John. He left a son and heir: William de TUnstall IV who was in possession of the estates in 1359, when a John de Tunstall made a claim against him. He acquired the manors of OVER BURROW, NETHER BURROW and part of that of Leck in 1370 and obtained a charter of free -warren in his demesne lands in Tunstall, Cantsfield, Burrow, Leck and Newton in 1376. He was knight of the shire in 1384, died in 1387 and his wife Katherine is named in the licence given to his son for founding a chantry in Thurland Castle. His wife Isabel was the wife of Sir Nicholas Harrington. In 1402 he had licence to crenellate his house of THURLAND (THURLAND CASTLE) and to enclose 1,000 acres. In 1413 he obtained the wardship of the heir of John de Parr of Kendal, a Thomas de Parr, to whom he married his daughter Alice. He died in 1415. His family consisted of William, Thomas, Katherine, who married Sir John Pennington, and Alice Tunstall who married Sir Thomas de Parr of Kendal. William Tunstall V had a wife (said to have been a daughter of Parr, in Harleian MS. 1549). He
had an only child, Isabel, who in 1432 contracted to marry Sir Nicholas Wortley, of Wortley, Yorkshire. Sir Thomas Tunstall, knight succeeded as heir to his brother William. Before the year 1400 he, or his father had obtained the mesne lordship of the fourth part of the manor of Kirkby Lonsdale. It remained in the Tunstall family until Francis Tunstall, about 1605, sold his Lancashire and Westmorland estates before leaving Thurland. This Thomas Tunstall served at the Battle of Agincourt, the Battle of Verneuil, and became a commissioner for array in 1427 and 1431. He married Eleanor, daughter of Henry lord Fitzhugh of Ravensworth and widow of Sir Philip Darcy, without the king's licence, but received a pardon for this in 1427. Their family:Sir Richard, knight, of whom later,William who had an illegitimate son Lyonell named in the settlement of lands in 1493, Margaret who was the second wife of Sir Ralph de Pudsey, Elizabeth, married to Sir Roger Bellingham, knight (see ST. George's visitation in 1615). Above named Sir Richard Tunstall is recorded as eldest son of Sir Thomas.

In 1450 Sir Richard was an esquire, but in 1455 had become a knight, in which year the Wars of the Roses commenced. A faithful Lancastrian, never wavering in his allegiance as long as King Henry VI lived. When Edward IV ascended the throne in 1461, Sir Richard held the castle of Harlech for King Henry VI, and Warkworth, in his chronicle, states that it was the only place which still held out for that king. It surrendered in 1468 to the earl of Pembroke and Sir Richard was confined in the Tower of London. He, with many other Lancastrians, had been attainted (denied ownership of Thurland) in 1461, some of his lands being bestowed on Sir James Harrington who had helped to capture King Henry VI near Waddington. (for an account of Sir Richard's
defense of the king in a tense encounter, see Jacobs's FIFTEENTH CENTURY.) After King Henry's death, Sir Richard made his peace with King Edward IV. He was pardoned in 1471, and his estates were returned to him. He died in 1491-1492, as his wife received her dower in May 1492. He had married Elizabeth daughter of Sir William Franke, knight, and had a family of four sons and two daughters: Henry, who died; John, who died; Thomas, who died; William, who survived and inherited Thurland, Margaret, of whom nothing appears, Eleanor, married to John Askew, by whom she had a son, Christopher Askew.
The above-named William VI had no surviving family. Thurland Castle was then inherited by Thomas's son, Brian, who became lord of Thurland in 1503-4. Sir Thomas had an illegitimate son, CUTHBERT TUNSTALL, famed Renaissance figure, from one of the Conyer's daughters, Alice ,base daughter of the Archbishop of York (great-great-grandson of King Edward III) (thus every Tunstall from the Virginia line can claim descent from King Edward III). He married Alice and
had the following children: Thomas-without issue, Brian who became lord of Thurland in 1503-1504, of whom later, William of Aldcliffe, Alice an unnamed daughter, and Margaret Tunstall, who married William Redmayne, one of the executors of Brian Tunstall's will in 1513.

The above named Brian, who inherited the estates in 1503-4, made his will on 16 August 1513, before starting for Flodden, where he was slain on 9 September 1513); in it he names his wife, children, brothers and some of his nephews and nieces. He had married Isabel, dau. of Henry Boynton (Dalton's Vist., 1558), and on 6 Nov. 1513 a mandate was issued by the archbishop of York to his suffragan, John bishop of Negropont, to veil Isabel Tunstall, widow of Brian Tunstall and to receive her profession. This was possibly done to evade the king's right, under feudal law, TO GIVE HER AGAIN IN MARRIAGE AS IT BROUGHT HER UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE CHURCH AS IN MINOR ORDERS. Isabel Tunstall survived certainly until 1539, when she is named as an executor to her son Brian's will. This couple left issue: Marmaduke, Anne, aged 3 years in 1513, who became the wife of John Middleton of Middleton Hall, co. Westmorland, Brian, born in November 1513, who became a knight of Rhodes, a statement supported by the legacy of his gold chain to his nephew Francis.

The continuing line can of descent from Brian can be documented via Charles H. Browning's AMERICANS OF ROYAL DESCENT.

Notes:

Henry FitzHugh, 3rd Baron FitzHugh KG (c. 1363 - 11 January 1425) was an English administrator and diplomat who served under Henry IV and Henry V.

Royal service

Summoned to parliament in 1388, FitzHugh became active in public affairs following Henry IV's succession. He was engaged in Anglo-Scottish diplomacy, taking part in the Battle of Humbleton Hill in 1402 and negotiating the surrender of his uncle, Archbishop of York Richard le Scrope, in 1405. The next year he travelled to Denmark as part of the escort of Philippa, Henry's daughter, for her marriage to Eric of Pomerania, king of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

At the coronation of Henry V in 1413, FitzHugh was Constable. During Henry's reign, he served as Chamberlain of the Household (1413-1425, into the reign of Henry VI), and Treasurer of England (1416-1421). He participated in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 and subsequent diplomacy with the French, which led to the Treaty of Troyes in 1420. He travelled with the king to France, and he escorted the king's remains back to England following his death in 1422. He was an executor of Henry's will and was a feoffee of lands in the will.

He became a Knight of the Garter about 1409.

After his death on 11 January 1425, FitzHugh was buried at Jervaulx Abbey in Yorkshire at his request.

Religion

During his travels to the Scandinavian Peninsula in 1406, he visited the Bridgettine Vadstena Abbey in Sweden, where he volunteered to help establish a Bridgettine community in England, including the promise of a manor at Cherry Hinton in Cambridgeshire. An English order was established in 1415 at Twickenham with the assistance of Henry V. He was also attended the Council of Constance in 1415.
Family

A descendant of Akarius Fitz Bardolph, FitzHugh was the first son of Hugh FitzHugh, 2nd Baron FitzHugh, and Joan, daughter of Henry Scrope, 1st Baron Scrope of Masham. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Robert Grey and his wife, Lora St Quentin. They had eight sons and six daughters, including: William, who succeeded as fourth Baron; Robert, Bishop of London; and Eleanor, wife of Philip Darcy, 6th Baron Darcy de Knayth and Henry Bromflete, 1st Baron Vesci.
