By Writ of Summons dated 28 September, 1384; and Lineage. The surname of this family was assumed from Lumley on the Wear, in the bishoprick of Durham, and the family deduced its lineage from Elgyve, dau. of King ÆTHELRED II.) of Uchtred the Bold, Earl of Northumberland. Liulph, who was a nobleman of great popularity in the time of EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, was murdered by means of Leoferin, chaplain of Walcher, bishop of Dur. ham, a crime soon after avenged by the populace of Durham sacrificing both the chaplain and the prelate to their just resentment. By Elgitha, his wife, Liulph had issue, 1. UCHTRED. II. Osbert de Stafford, whose dau. and heiress, Ormonda, m Robert de Persall, who for his attachment to Robert de Stafford and the king's service, as also "ratione consanguinitatis," held the manor of Persall, in the parish of Eccleshall, co. Stafford, A.D. 1068, from which his descendants adopted their name. The eldest son, UCHTRED, assumed the name of LUMLEY, and from him lineally descended heirs of the great Northumberland feudal Baron, Hugh de Sybil, who m. 1st, as stated above, Roger de Lumley, and 2ndly, Theophania, m. to John de Bulmer. Roger de Lumley was s. by his son, SIR ROBERT DE LUMLEY, who m. Lucia, one of the three sisters and co-heirs of William, Robert, and Thomas de Thweng, Barons Thweng, of Kilton Castle, co. York (see THWENG), and was s. by his son, SIR MARMADUKE DE LUMLEY, Knt., who first assumed the arms of his mother's family, those of the ancient house of Thweng, which his descendants have ever since borne, Sir Marmaduke was s. by his elder son, ROBERT DE LUMLEY. This feudal lord d. unm. and a minor, in the 48th EDWARD III., and was 8. by his brother, SIR RALPH DE LUMLEY, who in the 9th of RICHARD II., was in the expedition then made into Scotland, in the retinue of Hugh de Percy, Earl of Northumberland. In the 10th of EDWARD II., he was made governor of Berwick-upon Tweed, and continued therein until the 12th, when he was taken prisoner by the Scots. In three years after (15th RICHARD II.), he was deputy-governor of the same place under Henry de Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and the next year had license to make a castle of his manor house at Lumley. Sir Ralph was summoned to parliament as a Baron, from the 8th RICHARD II. to the 1st HENRY IV., 1384 to 1399, inclusive. In the latter year, joining in the insurrection of Thomas de Holand, Earl of Kent, for the restoration of the former monarch, he was slain in a skirmish at Cirencester, and being ATTAINTED in 1400, his lands were seized by the crown, and the BARONY OF LUMLEY fell under the attainder. His lordship left issue by his wife, Eleanor, dau. of John, Lord Nevill, of Raby, and sister of Ralph, Earl of Westmoreland, four sons and three daus., of whom the youngest, Marmaduke de Lumley, was successively master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and chancellor of the University; bishop of Carlisle (1430), treasurer of England (1446), and bishop of Lincoln (1451). Lord Lumley was 8. by his eldest son, THOMAS DE LUMLEY, who had been attainted with his father, and d. 8. p. in 1404, was s. by his brother, SIR JOHN DE LUMLEY, b. 1384, who, doing his homage in the 6th HENRY IV., had livery of all the castles, manors, and lands, whereof his father, Ralph, Lord Lumley, was seized at the time of his attainder; and was restored in blood by act of parliament, in the 13th of the same reign. He was subsequently, temp. HENRY IV., and V., distinguished in the wars of France, and fell at the battle of Beaugé, in Anjou, 13 April, 1421. Sir John m. Felicia, dau, of Sir Matthew Redman, governor of Berwick, and was 8. by his only son, SIR THOMAS DE LUMLEY, b. 1408, who, in the 33rd HENRY VI., 1455, was governor of Scarborough Castle, and upon the accession of King EDWARD IV., having petitioned the parliament for the reversal of the attainder of his grandfather, Ralph, Lord Lumley, and that prayer being granted by the repeal of the said attainder, was summoned to parliament as BARON LUMLEY, 26 July, 1461, and from that period to 16 January, 1497, in which year he is supposed to have died. His lordship m. Margaret, dau. of Sir James Harrington, Knt., brother of Sir Wm. Harrington, K.G., and was s. at his decease, by his only son, SIR GEORGE LUMLEY, 3rd baron, who does not appear to have been summoned to parliament. He was sheriff of Northumberland, 2nd EDWARD IV., 1462. This nobleman m. Elizabeth, LIULPH, son of Osbert de Lumley, m. Elgitha (dau. by dau. and co-heir of Roger Thornton, Esq., an opulent merchant of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (by his wife, Elizabeth, dau of John, Lord Greystoke), and had issue, 1. THOMAS, who m.

Roger, who had three daus. to survive: Agnes, wife of John Lambton, Esq. of Lambton; Isabel, wife of Richard Conyers, Esq., of Horden; Margaret, wife of Thomas Trollope, Esq., of Thornley. I. Ralph. Lord Lumley acquired by his marriage the lordships of Wilton, in Northumberland, and Lulworth, and Isle, in the bishoprick, but had a protracted litigation regarding those lands with Giles Thornton, the bastard son of his father-in-law, which quarrel terminated by his lordship's killing his antagonist in the ditch of Windsor Castle. The baron, who, in the 7th HENRY VII. (1492), was in the expedition then made into Scotland under the command of Thomas, Earl of Surrey, when Norham Castle was besieged, d. in 1508, and was s. by his grandson, RICHARD DE LUMLEY, 4th baron, summoned to parliament from 17 October, 1509, to 28 November, 1511. To the last writ the following addition is made on the roll, "Mortuus est, ut dicitur." His lordship m. Anne, dau. of Sir John Conyers, K.G., of Hornby Castle, co. York, and sister of William, 1st Lord Conyers, by whom he had two sons, 1. JOHN, his successor. II. Anthony, who m. a dau. of Richard Grey, Esq., of co.

His lordship d. in 1510 or 1511, and was s. by his elder son, JOHN DE LUMLEY, 5th baron, b. 1493, summoned to parliament 23 November, 1514. This nobleman was one of the barons who, in the 22nd HENRY VIII. (1530) signed the memorable letter to Pope Clement VII., but in the 28th of that reign he was one of the chiefs of those northern lords who appeared in the insurrection called the "Pilgrimage of Grace;" when a pardon being offered by the Duke of Norfolk, who commanded the army sent against the rebels, his lordship was deputed to treat with the duke, and succeeded so well, that all concerned in the affair were allowed to return home without being further molested. Lord Lumley, was at the celebrated battle of Flodden Field under the Earl of Surrey. His lordship m. Joane, dau. of Henry, Lord Scrope, of Bolton, and had an only son, GEORGE, who, being implicated in the treason of Lord Darcy and others, was apprehended, committed to the Tower, and being convicted of high treason, was executed and attainted in the 29th HENRY VIII., 1537 (his father then living).

Anglesey, late M.P. for the Carnarvon Boroughs. III. Barbara, m. Richard Herbert, of Pwke. Upon the death of Lord Lumley (his only son, George, having been, as above stated, previously attainted) this Barony of Lumley became EXTINCT. His lordship's grandson and heir, however, JOHN LUMLEY, having petitioned parliament, in the 1st EDWARD VI., praying that the attainder might be reversed, it was enacted by act of parliament, in 1547, "that the said John Lumley, and the heirs male of his body, should have, hold, enjoy, and bear, the name, dignity, state, and pre-eminence of a Baron of the realm." By this law, a new barony of Lumley was created. The old one having merged in the crown under the act of attainder, nothing but a positive repeal of that statute could have restored it, and the new act did not effect that object. Lord Lumley was one of the noblemen who sat in judgment upon MARY, Queen of Scots, and Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex His lordship m. 1st, Jane, eldest dau. and co-heir of Henry Fitz-Alan, Earl of Arundel, by whom he had a son and two daus., who all d. in infancy. He m. 2ndly, Elizabeth, dau. of John, Lord Darcy, of Chiche, but had no issue. Of Lord Lumley, Camden says, "that he was of entire virtue, integrity, and innocence; and in his old age, a complete pattern of true nobility. Having so great a veneration for the memory of his ancestors, that he caused monuments to be erected for them, in the collegiate church of Chester-le-Street (opposite Lumley Castle), in the order as they succeeded one another, from Liulphus down to his own time: which he had either picked out of the demolished monasteries, or made new. He also took care that his estates should descend to one of his own name and blood, by his last will and testament; in which he bequeaths to his kinsman and heir male, Richard, eldest son and heir apparent of Roger, the son of Anthony Lumley, brother to John, Lord Lumley, his grandfather (see above), his Castle of Lumley, together with divers manors, lands, tenements, &c." His lordship d. 11 April, 1609, and was interred in the Church of Cheam, having a noble monument of white marble erected to his memory. With his lordship the new barony of Lumley, created by act of parliament, EXPIRED. The aforesaid RICHARD LUMLEY, who s. to the estates of John, last Baron Lumley, was, in 1628, elevated to the peerage of Ireland as VISCOUNT LUMLEY; and his grandson was created, in 1690, EARL OF SCARBOROUGH, under which title the subsequent history of this family will be found in the Extant Peerage. The Barony of Lumley was claimed, in 1723, by the above mentioned Rev. Robert Lloyd, as lineal descendant of Barbara Lumley, sister of the attainted George, when the House of Lords came to the resolution, "That the petitioner had no right to a writ of summons in parliament, as prayed by his petition," which resolution was founded upon the previous report "That by the act of parliament of 1st EDWARD VI. (which conferred the barony upon John Lumley, son and heir of the attainted George), "a new barony of Lumley was created, and limited by express words to John, Lord Lumley, in tail male; and that upon his death, without issue male, the said barony became extinct. "That the attainder of George Lumley is not reversed by the said act, but remains yet in force; and that the restitution of John, Lord Lumley, in blood only, while the attainder remains unreversed, could not possibly revive the ancient barony, which was before merged in the crown, in consequence of that attainder." NOTE. In consequence of the marriage of Sir Robert Lumley with Lucia de Thweng, one of the co-heirs of the Lords Thweng, a third of the Barony of Thweng devolved upon the Lumleys, which third, it is presumed. merged in the crown under the attainder of George Lumley, in the reign of HENRY VIII.

By Writ of Summons, dated 24 June, 1295. This noble family claimed descent from one of the Norman chiefs who accompanied the CONQUEROR to England. In the time of RICHARD I., the lands of SIR GEOFFREY DE LUTEREL, in the cos. Nottingham and Derby, were seized by the crown, for his adherence to the Earl of Moreton, but he was compensated, upon the accession of the earl to the throne, as King JOHN, by extensive territorial and other grants. He m. Trethesenta, 2nd dau. and co-heir (with her sister Alicia, wife of Robert de Gant) of William Paganal, Lord of Irnham, and by her (who m. 2ndly, Henry de Newmarch), had a son and heir, ANDREW. Sir Geoffrey d. in the 2nd year of HENRY III., 1218, and was s. by his son, SIR ANDREW DE LUTEREL, of Irnham, co. Lincoln, who, 14th HENRY III., upon the collection of the scutage, for the first journey of that king into Britanny, accounted £30 for fifteen knights' fees. In this year, he laid claim to lands in the county of Somerset, as well as the manor of Irnham, co. Lincoln, which formerly belonged to Maurice de Gant, and had descended to him, by right of inheritance; and the next year he had livery of the same, upon paying 100 marks to the crown. He subsequently served the office of sheriff of Lincolnshire. He m. the dau. of Philip de la Mare, a rich and powerful baron; and dying in 1264, was s. by his elder son, GEOFFREY DE LUTEREL, feudal Baron of Irnham, eo. Lincoln. This Geoffrey being insane, his brother, Alexander Luterel, had the custody of his person, and William de Gray, whose dau. he had married, the education of his children. To these suc ceeded SIR ROBERT DE LUTEREL (whom Courthope's Historic Peerage calls brother of Geoffrey de Luterel). In the 5th EDWARD I., A.D. 1277, he was in the expedition then made into Wales, and had summons amongst other great men, in the 22nd of the same reign, to attend the king, touching the important affairs of the realm. He was summoned to parliament as a Baron, 24 June, 30 September, and 2 November, 1295, and dying in 1297, possessed of Irnham, co. Lincoln, and Hoton Paganel, co. York, left by Joan, his wife, a son and heir, SIR GEOFFREY DE LUTEREL, feudal Lord of Irnham, who does not appear, from the existing enrolments to have been ever summoned to parliament. He m. Agnes, dau. of Sir Richard Sutton, Knt., and left three sons, I. ANDREW, his heir, II. Geoffrey (Sir), was one of the chief knights in the army of The eldest son, SIR ANDREW LUTTRELL, 5th Baron of Irnham and Lord of Hoton Paganel, m. Beatrice, dau of Sir Geoffrey Scrope, Lord Scrope, of Masham, and was father of SIR ANDREW LUTTRELL, Knt., 6th Baron of Irnham, who m. Hawisia, dau. of John le Despenser, and dying in 1397, was s. by his son, SIR ANDREW LUTTRELL, 7th Baron of Irnham, who d. 1st HENRY IV., A.D. 1400, leaving his estates to his son, SIR GEOFFREY LUTTRELL, Knt., 8th Baron of Irnham, at whose decease s. p. in 1417, the Barony of Irnham and Lordship of Hoton Paganal devolved on his only sister and heiress, HAWISIA DE BELESBY, relict of Thomas de Belesby, and afterwards wife of Sir Godfrey de Hilton, Knt. From the Hiltons, Irnham was conveyed by marriage to the Thimlebys, and by them, by a female, to the Conquests, an heiress of which family brought the manor to Henry, 8th LORD ARUNDELL DE WARDOUR, through whose daughter it passed to the Cliffords.

Irish Viscounty, by Letters Patent, dated 9 January, 1781. Irish Earldom, &c., by Letters Patent, dated 23 June, 1785. Lineage. A branch of this ancient family appears to have settled in Ireland so early as the reign of King JoHN, when SIR GEOFFRY LUTTRELL obtained from that Prince a grant of the lands of Luttrellstown, co. Dublin. Perhaps this was the same person who is mentioned in the preceding article. Be this as it may, certain it is that the LUTTRELS, of DUNSTER CASTLE, and the LUTTRELLS, EARLS of CARHAMPTON were of the old baronial stock of Irnbam. SIR ANDREW LUTTRELL, of Chilton, co. Devon, a scion of the family of Luttrell of Irnham, m. the Lady Elizabeth, 2nd dau. of Hugh Courtenay, Earl of Devon (by Margaret, his wife, dau. of Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford), and was father of SIR HUGH LUTTRELL, who resided at Dunster, co. Somerset, an honour and castle which his mother had purchased from the Mohuns, once Lords of Dunster, Sir Hugh was M.P. for Somersetshire in the reign of RICHARD H., and subsequently for Devonshire. In the 8th HENRY IV. (1407), he gained a suit-atlaw against Edward Plantagenet, Duke of York, and the other heirs of John, last Lord Mohun, of Dunster, by which he obtained possession of the honours and castle of Dunster, the lordship of Carhampton, &c. He was afterwards ranger of Blackmore forest in Dorsetshire, a privy councillor to HENRY V., and one of the commanders under that martial monarch at the reduction of Harfleur in Normandy in 1415, and at the memorable siege of Rouen. Sir Hugh m. Catherine, dau. of Sir John Beaumont, Knt., of Sherwell, and had three sons, 1. SIR JOHN, from whom descend the LUTTRELLS of Dunster Castle, co. Somerset, for whose lineage refer to BURKE'S Landed Gentry. II. ROBERT, of whose line we treat. The 2nd son, ROBERT LUTTRELL, acquired considerable possessions in the co. Dublin, by his marriage with the dau. of Sir Elias de Ashbourne, Knt., of Devon. He d. in the 15th HENRY VI. (1436-7), seized of the castle and lands of Luttrellstown, co. Dublin. He left at his decease besides a dau. Anne, m. to Simon Fleming, Lord Slane, and a son Hugh, another son, CHRISTOPHER LUTTRELL, who s. at Luttrellstown, and was father of, THOMAS LUTTRELL, who m.
