Hugh Luttrell (MP, died 1428)

Sir Andrew was a direct descendant of an Irish noble family: the Luttrells, who were the original Earls of Carhampton.

Given her loyal servitude to the royal family, Elizabeth received £200 from her close cousin, Richard II of England.

Courtenay used this loan to buy large properties of land, which increased the family's wealth by leaps and bounds.

They became very close, and Anne granted him numerous plots of land for his servitude and good nature, which boosted his social standing among the English nobility.

The talks were harsh, as surviving documents say, and the three Englishmen left Flanders, with an impression that the Flemings were not to be trusted.

On 6 October 1404, Lady Mohun, a noblewoman that had sold vast plots of land to Hugh's late mother, Elizabeth, had died at Canterbury.

A year passed with no clear victor, and the House of Commons of England stepped in, this time on Luttrell's side.

It was then and there that Archbishop Thomas Arundel made a visit to them, and discussed important political and religious matters with the noblemen.

In February 1417, he was appointed Lieutenant of Harfleur and embarked to France, where the war was still being fought, in the retinue of Thomas Montacute, 4th Earl of Salisbury.

After assuming command over the city of Harfleur in 1418, he was given orders by his superiors to manage the English garrison there, and hang any deserters.

In 1420, Luttrell corresponded with the king many times, praising Henry's marriage to Catherine of Valois, saying in a letter that it caused him: "the gretest gladnesse and consolation that ever came unto my herte."

On 24 March 1428, Sir Hugh Luttrell fell gravely ill and died on a visit to his daughter, Joan, a nun at Shaftesbury.

[8] The arms of Beaumont (Barry of six vair and gules) appear in Dunster Church and on the Luttrell Table Carpet, c.1520, now in the collection of the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, probably made in about 1520 to record the marriage of his descendant Sir Andrew Luttrell (1484–1538) of Dunster and his wife Margaret Wyndham (d.1580).
