Article: SKELETONS in the CLOSET This is a brief history of the early Hungerford family in England developed as a composite from various sources. In most cases I [the author, not DJS] do not know the original authors. If I did I would offer credit where credit is due The main text source is "A Summary of the families Hungerford: descendants of Thomas of Connecticut: including a brief history of the Hungerford family in England from the 12th century, and descendants of Thomas of Ireland, William of Maryland, and Thomas of Maryland" by Stanley Hungerford (1988). I thank him and whoever wrote the various pieces for their contributions to our knowledge of the family and its origins If anyone reading this knows the sources, or can offer corrections and additions to this history, please email me at nthomas@escape.ca This history is cross referenced to the genealogy of the Hungerford family in England. I must add that, while the Hungerford's have played significant roles in history, not only of England, but the United States, Canada, and Australia, there were a few characters in the early history of the family whom I would not have invited round for tea, Nevertheless, the skeletons in anyone's closet make for the most interesting reading THE HUNGERFORD FAMILY in ENGLAND from the 12th CENTURY One of the ways prominent families acquired surnames was by the assumption of place-names. Hungerford is a small pastoral village on the River Kennet in Berkshire, about 100 kilometers west of London on the road to Bath. One of the legends accounting for the name indicates that the locality was named because I was a ford where one can cross by wading or by horseback of a river used by the Angles, hence Anglesford, corrupted to Hungerford. Angles according to Webster were a Germanic people of the northern lowlands that settled in eastern England in the 5th century. A more plausible account is the tale that in 870 A.D. after the martyrdom of King Edmund and the uprising of the Angles against the Danes, two Danish chieftains were escaping, and "Hingwar was drowned as he was crossing a morass in Berkshire, which morass is called to this day Hyngerford." Morass: a marsh, a tract of low, soft, watery ground, bog, marsh, swamp, often used figuratively of a difficult, troublesome, or perplexing state of affairs A number of individuals of the 12th century seem to have been identified with the Hungerford locality. However, one family in particular rose from that Berkshire morass to achieve the heights of wealth and power normally reserved for royalty and the traditional feudal class of baronial landlords. Two 14th century brothers, Sir Robert and Sir Walter, were prosperous farmers who held a number of local government offices in Wiltshire and represented their county in Parliament for twenty years. Through several fortuitous marriages a political connections with the Lancastrian branch of the Plantagenet rulers, the family rapidly acquired both sufficient lands, honors and political positions to be classed with the most powerful families in all England. The wealth of this family supported several major branches, and survived the political upheavals of the 16th century. A considerable portion of their property passed to the Earls of Huntington through Lady Mary Hungerford of Salisbury in the mid-1500's In the later 17th century, the last male of the senior branch of the family gambled away his vast holdings, including the family seat at Farleigh-Hungerford in Somerset, which had been held, lost and regained several times between 1369 and its final sale in 1686. With the death of his nephew in 1835, the remaining riches of the junior branches of the Hungerford family were sent to the United States of America according to the terms of the will of James Smithson [this money was used to found the Smithsonian Institute - N.T.] Hungerford remains to this day a picturesque village where the innkeeper can be persuaded to regale you with tales of "those rogues, the Hungerfords." On Tuesday of Easter-week, the Hock-tide ceremony still takes place in remembrance of the taxations of the early landlords. A macaroni supper is served at the John of Gaunt Inn. The Hungerford jury appoints two men to collect a poll-tax of tuppence from each male and a kiss from each female citizen of the town. Not only the young and pretty are so "taxed", for the old ladies of Hungerford would feel sadly neglected is they were passed by. The tithe-men carry short poles with flowers and blue ribbons, and heavily laden assistants distribute oranges to each person taxed or kissed The town hall has a horn which is said to have been presented by John of Gaunt. He granted fishing rights in the Kennet to the town, which is still a popular angling resort. In his memory, a red rose is presented to any sovereign passing through the town. A person of wealth or rank, a monarch, a ruler Walter de Hungerford thus begins the lineage of the Barons Hungerford and the Baron Hungerford of Heytesbury. Sir Robert de Hungerford died June 20, 1352, buried in Hungerford In the first year of the reign of King Edward III (1327), Sir Robert was appointed commissioner to certify to the Barons of the Exchequer the possessions, lands and tenements of Hugh Despencer also spelled as De Spencer, Earl of Winchester and his son Hugh who, with others, was killed in the last year of the reign of Edward II In the third year of Edward III (1329) he was appointed to survey the dilapidation of Old Sarum Castle, the Roman name for Salisbury He served as steward to Ralph of Shrewsbury, Bishop of Bath and Wells Through his marriage, he acquired several manors and began to establish the family position in Wiltshire Sir Robert, distinguished by his piety, gave lands of great value to the wardens of the hospital of St John at Ciren to maintain a priest to pray for the soul of his wife, for the health of his own soul, and the souls of his parents, benefactors and all the faithful. If this trust were not fulfilled, the lands were to devolve upon his younger brother an heir, Sir Walter Sir Walter de Hungerford, born 1286, married Elizabeth FitzJohn of Cherill, died after 1355 Sir Walter, like his elder brother, represented Wiltshire in parliaments from 1331 through 1336, and held several minor offices in local government. He was finally replaced as coroner in the 19th Edward III (1346) since he was too feeble to carry out his duties The early Hungerford family had no coat of arms, but used the sickle as their symbol, usually the emblem consisted of three sickles formed into a triangular knot. This devise may still be seen on the archway at Farleigh-Hungerford and in other places. The family monuments in Salisbury Cathedral and elsewhere are frequently marked with a large number of individual sickles. When the first Lord Walter was officially granted a cost of arms, it contained several elements which indicate the origins of the family holdings. The familiar black shield, divided by two silver bars and adorned with three silver coins was originally the devise awarded the Fitz-John family and inherited through Sir Walter's marriage. The crest contains a golden sheaf of wheat, a garb, indicating the Peverell marriage and the inheritance of that Lord Walter. The garb is bracketed by two silver sickles, the familiar Hungerford emblem Sir Thomas Hungerford, born circa 1300, married (1) Eleanor Strug, (2) Joan Hussey. He died December 3, 1397, burial at Farleigh Hungerford. Sir Thomas acquired his first offices in the 28th Edward III (1355) as sheriff and escheator the reverting of property to the lord of the manor, to the crown or the government when there are no legal heirs for Wiltshire He was closely associated with John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, whose rivalry with Edward the Black Prince, his brother, for the throne of England is so well known. He served as steward of the household of John of Gaunt, and was bailiff for the Bishop of Salisbury In the 42nd Edward III (1369) he purchased the manor Farleigh-Montfort in Somerset from Lord Berghersh for 1100 marks. In January, the 50th Edward III (1377) Sir Thomas was knighted and chosen to fill the chair as Speaker of the House of Commons, the first person formally mentioned in the rolls of Parliament as holding that high office. This Parliament, called "The Bad Parliament" was controlled by John of Gaunt to serve Lancastrian interests. Sir Thomas continued to build the holdings of the family, an expansion which was remarkable, for in about 100 years, the ownership of land by this family increased from not a single manor in 1355 to nearly 200 manors by 1460. In the 3rd Richard II (1380) he obtained confirmation to the office of Forest Ray Dale Ellis had death date as August 9, 1449, rather than August 19, 1449 Additional Information given from WFT Volume 1, Pedigree # 3226.

Manning, Lives of the Speakers, p. 55) Hungerford had already won renown as a warrior. In 1401 he was with the English army in France, and is said to have worsted the French King in a duel outside Calais; he distinguished himself in battle and tournament, and received substantial reward. In consideration of his services he was granted in 1403 one hundred marks per annum, payable by the town and castle of Marlborough, Wiltshire, and was appointed Sheriff of Wiltshire On 22 Jul 1414 he was nominated Ambassador to treat for a league with Sigismund, King of the Romans (Rymer, Foedera, vol. iv. pt. ii. p. 186), and as English envoy attended the council of Constance in that and the following year (cf. his accounts of expenses in Brit. Mus. Addit. MS 24513, f. 68) In the autumn of 1415 Hungerford accompanied Henry V to France with twenty men-at-arms and sixty horse archers (Nicholas, Agincourt, p. 381). He, rather than the Earl of Westmoreland, as in Shakespeare's 'Henry V', seems to have been the officer who expressed, on the eve of Agincourt, regret that the English had not ten thousand archers, and drew from the King a famous rebuke (ib. pp. 105, 241). He fought bravely at the battle of Agincourt, but the assertion that he made the Duke of Orleans prisoner is not substantiated He was employed in May 1416 in diplomatic negotiations with Ambassadors of Theodoric, Archbishop of Cologne (Rymer, vol. iv. pt ii. p. 158), and in Nov 1417 with envoys from France (ib. vol. iv. pt. ii. p. 25) In 1417 he was made Admiral of the fleet under John, Duke of Bedford, and was with Henry V in 1418 at the siege of Rouen. In Nov of the latter year he is designated the steward of the king's household (ib. vol. iv. pt. iii. p. 76), and was granted the Barony of Homet in Normandy He took part in the peace negotiations of 1419, and on 3 May 1421 was installed Knight of the Garter (Beltz, Hist. of Garter, p. clviii) Hungerford was an executor of Henry V's will, and in 1422 became a member of Protector Gloucester's council. In 1424 he was made steward of the household of the infant King, Henry VI, and on 7 Jan 1425-6 was summoned to the House of Lords as Baron Hungerford. The summons was continued to him till his death Hungerford became treasurer in succession to Bishop Stafford, when Bishop Beaufort's resignation of the great seal in Mar 1426-7 placed Gloucestershire in supreme power He acted as carver at Henry VI's coronation in Paris in Dec 1430 (Waurin, Chron., Rolls Ser., iv. 11), but on the change of ministry which followed Henry VI's return from France in Feb 1431-2, he ceased to be treasurer He attended the conference at Arms in 1435 (Wars of Henry VI in France, Rolls ser., ed. Stevenson, ii. 431) He died on 9 Aug 1449, and was buried beside his first wife in Salisbury Cathedral, within the iron chapel erected by himself, which is still extant, although removed from its original position By his marriages and royal grants Hungerford added largely to the family estates. He was a man of piety, and built chanteries at Heytesbury and Chippenham, and made bequests to Salisbury and Bath Cathedrals. In 1428 he presented valuable estates to the Free Royal Chapel in the palace of St. Stephen at Westminster He also built an almshouse for twelve poor men and a woman, and a schoolmaster's residence at Heytesbury. The original building was destroyed in 1765, but the endowment, which was regulated by statutes drawn up by Margaret of Botreaux, wife of Hungerford's son Robert, still continues (Jackson, Anc. Statutes of Heytesbury Almshouses, Devizes, 1863) Hungerford's will is printed in Nicolas's 'Testamenta Vetusta,' pp. 257-9. He left his 'best legend of the lives of the saints' to his daughter-in-law, Margaret, and a cup which John of Gaunt had used to John, Viscount Beaumont Father: Thomas De HUNGERFORD (Sir) Mother: Joan HUSSEY Married: Catherine PEVERELL (b.

Historical data | before August 1449 | He Lord High Treasurer; in England (Medieval), EuropeG+, before August 1449. Lord Walter Hungerford, (1378-1449) Sir Walter (later Lord Walter) strongly supported the Lancastrian cause at the close of the reign of Richard II, last of the Plantagenet rulers Upon the accession of Henry IV in 1399, first of the Lancastrian kings, he was knighted and granted 100 pounds per year, to be taken out of the lands of Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, in consideration of his eminent services He was taken prisoner by rebels during the 1400 uprising against the new king, but was accused of disloyalty for allegedly stealing gold jewels and saddles from William Tanner. However, having proved his innocence and loyalty, he again became the King's Knight In October 1406 he was appointed Chamberlain of the Princess Phillipa and accompanied her to Denmark when she was married to King Eric He was with the English army in the wars with France (The Hundred Years War) and acquired great honor at Calais in 1406 where he bested a knight of France (or the King of France) in a duel. For his honors and expenses, he was granted 100 marks per year payable out of the town and castle of Marleborough in Wiltshire County, where he was appointed Sheriff In the 1st Henry IV (1412), at the death of his mother Joane, he inherited the manors of Heytesbury and Teffont-Evias, Wiltshire County, Farleigh and other in Somerset County In the 2nd Henry V (1414) he was appointed ambassador to Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary. Sigismund, successor to King Wenceslaus IV, crowned Vlad, Prince of Wallachia, whose family is now well known as that of Count Dracula. The next year he was with Henry V with 20 men-at-arms and 60 house archers at Agincourt. It is reported that Sir Walter, not the Earl of Westmoreland, was the officer who expressed regret that the English did not have 10,000 archers, drawing the famous rebuke from the King recorded by Shakespeare (Henry V, Act IV, Scene iii): "No, my fair cousin; If we are marked to die, we are enough To do our country loss; and if to live The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more" In the 4th Henry V (1417), Sir Walter was appointed Admiral of the Fleet under John, Duke of Bedford. For the next few years he was steward of the King's household and entirely engaged in the Wars. He was in the King's service at the Siege of Roan, after which he obtained grant of the Barony of Homet in Normandy, formerly enjoyed by Sir William de Montney. For this honour, Lord Walter yearly rendered to the King and his heirs one lance with a fox-tail hanging thereat upon the feast day of the exultation of the Holy Cross, and provided ten men-at-arms and twenty archers to serve the King or his lieutenant in the wars. Continuing to acquire fresh laurels on French soil, this gallant soldier obtained as a further grant for his services, the castle of Neville and territory of Breant in Normandy, with diverse other lands which had been the possessions of Sir Robert de Breant. In the 8th Henry V (1421) he was installed as a Knight of the Garter. In 1422, Lord Walter was an executor of the will of Henry V, and on the advice of Parliament, was appointed steward of the infant King Henry VI. [Further to Lord Walter's role as executor of the will of Henry V, Richard Hungerford, North American representative for the Hungerford and Associated Families Society has contributed the following: "Walter 1st Lord Hungerford, Speaker to Parliament and Ambassador to the Council of Constance, fought at Agincourt, was treasurer to Henry Viand was an executor of the will of Henry V." A scholarly discussion (and copy of) the will can be found on page 79 of the January 1981 issue of "English Historical Review." The text of the will was in Latin - it was not translated by the author of the article (he assumed you could read it) - so I asked a priest at the college I attended to translate portions of the text where the name Hungerford was present. The priest, Rev. Joseph Costillo, said the following about his attempts to read the pas sages. "The problem with these texts is that they were written by lawyers, who have a stake in arcane and archaic language. They get paid for writing the unintelligible, and get paid again for deciphering it." Here are the passages he translated for me: "Likewise we leave to Robert, Lord of Willoughby a golden cup. Likewise we leave to Walter Hungerford, the procurator for our home a golden chalice." (Earlier in the sentence: "We name, create, and delegate as executors of this will of our king) Walter Hungerford, procurator of our home of Willoughby, Walter Beauchamp, the treasurer of our home, Luis Robessarat, William Porter, Robert Babthorp, the bookkeeper of our house, privates John Wodehouse, John Leventhorp, and John Wilcotes armorers. Among those whom we have appointed to be our executors and administrators are Henry, Lord of Fitz Hugh, Walter Hungerford, Walter Beauchamp, Louis Robessarat, William Porter, and Robert Babthorp, privates, and also (John) Wodehouse, John Leventhorp and John Wilcotes, already mentioned, whome we wish to immediately appoint for the execution of this our last will and to be continuously diligent until each and everything in this our will has been accomplished." "We also wish that with respect to his person and in his home he should be assisted by our beloved and faithful chamberlain, and by Walter Hungerford, our procurator, one of who we wish to be always with him. We also wish that all our books, of whatever kind or material that are not mentioned in our will or (its) appendices should remain with our son for his library."] Sir Walter, Lord Homet, was installed in the House of Lords, the Upper House of Parliament in the 4th Henry VI as the first Baron Hungerford by Writ of Summons, January 7, 1426. The Parliament, held at Leicester, was known as the "Parliament of Bats", and during it Lord Hungerford was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Walter became constable of Windsor Castle, and in the 6th of Henry VI, he gave diverse houses and shops in the parish of St. Anthony in London to the Free Royal Chapel of St. Stephen in the palace at Westminster. In consideration of this grant, they covenanted to make him partaker of all their masses and suffrages during his lifetime, and to celebrate his death annually with "Placebo", "Dirige", and a mass of "Requiem". At the mass they were to distribute certain allotments to each churchman. In the 9th Henry VI (1431) his Lordship had license to transport 3000 marks for the ransom of his son Walter, then a prisoner in France. In the 24th Henry VI (1446) hews granted the town and manor of Hungerford. Lord Walter remained in Parliament until his death in the 27th Henry VI (1449). Sir Walter, Lord Hungerford of Heytesbury, Knight of the Garter, Baron Hungerford and Homet, Treasurer of England - directed that he be buried with his first wife, Catherine, in a certain chapel in the Cathedral Church at Salisbury, in which he had founded a perpetual chantry for two chaplains. After some pious bequests, his Testament, dated July 1, 1449, left various properties, gifts and bequests to his family, his second wife Eleanor, Countess Arundel, his sons Sir Robert Lord Hungerford and Sir Edmund, his daughters Elizabeth and Margaret, Lady Margaret, wife of Lord Robert, and his grandsons Sir Robert Lord Moleyns, Arnolph, and William. Because his much-honored Lord Viscount Beaumont was lineally descended from the Dukes of Lancaster, he bequeathed him a cup of silver with a cover bordered in gold. From this cup, the most noble Prince John, son of Henry VI, Duke of Lancaster, was often served. Heytesbury is a Wiltshire village which lies in the lovely Wylye Valley. The Hospital of St. John the Baptist and St. Katherine, the Hungerford Almshouse, was founded in 1449 by Sir Walter, first Lord Hungerford, and completed by his daughter-in-law Margaret Botreaux Hungerford. The original structure was burned in the great fire of 1765 which nearly destroyed the entire town of Heytesbury, and has been replaced by a modern hospital and apartments. The hospital continues to carry on the works assigned in the 15th century.
