Good Evening,
I do not know much of this Edward Farmer, but the Boteler connection, of
which I am directly descended from, and Norbury is interesting. For those
who may not know, Ralph Boteler of Oversley, acquired the title and lands
from his first wife, Maud de Pantulf, and their 1st son William was born
circ. 1240. Maud soon divorced Ralph and married Walter de Hopton and Maud
died before May 1289. During that time Walter had control of the title and
lands as what came with your wife in those days left with your wife.
Walter died circa April 1290, and why William their son wasn't Lord or
Baron of Wemme but after Gawine died March 1290, William aboves son, the
Barony descended on William, Gawines brother.
Now Ralph above, also, almost immediately remarried to Matilda Marmion of
Tamworth castle, Staffordshire. Now Tamworth castle was originaly built by
Robert le Despenser as a motte and baily earthwork style castle. In the
12th century Robert Marmion built it on the same location but of stone and
it stands to this day looking pretty much as it did then. Now how this
ties in with Norbury we shall see. Ralph above, with Matilda Marmion, had
a 2nd son also called Ralph, and he also lived at Norbury and then in the
year 1300, married Hawise Gobion of Higham Gobion, and then moved to
Woodhall in 1302. Ralphs grandsons and heirs thru wardships and later to
their cousins the line of Sir Philip Boteler and down until 1599, they
were the Lords of Pulverbatch,when the estate was sold to Sir Owen Roger.
As Far as Tamworth Castle was concerned, Sir
Alexander Freville and Jane Cromwell, who was the niece ofJoanMartein and
the grand-daughter of Sir Phillip Marmion, assigned it to their son
Baldwin in 1323, with the right to live in it for the rest of their lives.
Now Sir Phillip Marmions estates you see passed to his three
co-heirs.Pulverbatch assigned to his daughter Joan who married William de
Morteyn as it was spelled in those days and of course besides Isabel, Sir
Phillips other daughter was Matilda, wife of Sir Ralph Boteler, Joan died
without issue and the rest of course while messy to describe, is the rest
of the story. Oh yes, as Botelers of Woodhall, may not necesarrilymean
Woodhall, Watton-at-stone herts., as is so often the case, as Sir Phillip
Boteler did not build his home at Watton-at-stone, Herts., until approx.
1538, it was called Astonbury manor and the Boteler family lived in it
until after the turn of the 1600's.It is that the Botelers may have been
at one time from Woodhall of the Vavasours, that had a tendancy to
intermarry with the different Boteler families of England and Ireland and
allied families.
Something to think about, hope some may find this interesting
Best Regards,
Emmett L. Butler
