Luke Hutton (died 1598) was an English criminal and reputed author.
[1] Luke Hutton is stated by Sir John Harington to have been a younger son of Matthew Hutton, Archbishop of York; but Thomas Fuller, whose account is adopted by Ralph Thoresby and William Hutchinson, asserts, with more probability, that he was the son of Robert Hutton, Rector of Houghton-le-Spring and Prebendary of Durham.
[1] Luke Hutton matriculated as a sizar of Trinity College, Cambridge, in October 1582; left the University without a degree, and took to evil courses.
He was 'so valiant that he feared not men nor Laws'.
[2] In 1598, for a robbery committed on St. Luke's Day, he was executed at York, the Archbishop magnanimously forbearing to intercede on his behalf.
