Felton (Family)

edit

The Felton family (also known as 'de Feltone') is a minor Anglo-Norman noble dynasty, originating in Northumberland, near the village of Felton. Many of its members served as Seneschals and Castellans throughout the Medieval period, from the Norman Conquest onward. The Feltons had numerous peerages and titles throughout the centuries, most recently the baronetcy of Playford.

Origin

edit

Norman beginnings

edit

The 'de Feltones' of the Middle Ages were a cadet branch of the Bertram family, the Barons of Mitford, who had their seat at Mitford Castle. These Bertrams were descended from Sir William de Bertram/Bertrand, who had taken part in the Norman invasion of England as a Knight. His son, Richard, married Sybil de Mitford, who inherited her father's castle. Thus, the Bertrams became Barons of Mitford:

"At the time of the Conquest, the Castle of Mitford, in Northumberland, was held by Sir John de Mitford, whose only daughter and heiress, Sibella Mitford, was given in marriage by the Conqueror to a Norman knight of the name of Richard Bertram, and from this alliance sprang the Lords Bertram of Mitford".[1]

Struggles against the Crown

edit

A century or so later, the Lordship was possessed by Sir William de Bertram, who married Alice d'Umfraville, sister to Robert d'Umfraville. He was succeeded by his son Roger II[2], who rebelled against King John, having his lands and castle confiscated and given to Philip de Ulecote, though Henry III later returned them.[3] He had at least two sons, Roger III (who inherited upon his death) and Pagan (or Paine).

 
Mitford Castle, the seat of the Bertram family.

Sir Roger III Bertram, that son, aligned himself with the baronial forces during the Second Barons' War. After his capture at the Battle of Northampton in 1264, much of his barony, including Mitford Castle, was confiscated by royal officials and subsequently fragmented. Though briefly restored to favour later that year, he had already alienated significant portions of his estates, which did not return to the family.[4][5]

Founding

edit

During this period of forfeiture, it is plausible that some lands passed to Sir Roger's younger brother, Pagan, as he is recorded as “Pagan (or Paine) of Upper Felton”; one of his father's holdings,[6] and in situations of forfeiture, it was common practice for lands to be redistributed within the family. As Roger’s lands were divided and his barony diminished, retaining some portion within the Bertram lineage would have preserved family presence and influence in Northumberland. This would align with the feudal custom of assigning lands to secondary heirs or loyal family members in cases of conflict-related forfeiture, particularly when immediate male relatives were available to inherit or administer the estates.

Pagan of Upper Felton would have two sons, William (known as the Elder) and Robert (or Roger). William would stay in the North and found the Northumberland branch of the Family, and Robert would found the Norfolk branch, though some sources list them as father and son, or their children as from the same father, so it can get very confusing, especially with repeated names. Both of these sons would be known as both Fitz-Paine (son of Paine (Pagan)) and de Felton.[7]

Felton of Edlingham

Sir William Felton the Elder and Younger

edit

The Feltons rose to occupy a position of influence on the Scottish border through the efforts of Sir William Felton the elder (d.c.1328), who not only served as sheriff of Northumberland, but also held successively the Constableships of four royal castles, first in Wales and then in the North. The family seat of Edlingham Castle was bought by him in 1294.[8] His son, Sir William the Younger, was an equally capable crown servant. During the course of a busy public career this Sir William spent some time as Constable of Roxburgh and later represented Northumberland in at least four Parliaments. Through his second wife, Isabel, he obtained the manor of Hinton in Nottinghamshire. By the time of his death in c.1358, the Feltons had acquired the manors of West Matfen, Heddon and Buteland, together with extensive holdings in Nafferton, Lemington, Lorbottle, Milbourne, Whittingham and Thirston in Northumberland, the vill of Medomsley and the neighbouring manor of Hamsterley in the palatinate of Durham, and the manor of Boddington (which alone produced over 20 marks p.a.) in Northamptonshire. All of these lands (except from Hinton) passed to the son of his first marriage, another Sir William, and Hinton passed to the son of his second marriage, Sir John.[9]

Sir William Felton 'the Lionheart'

edit

A summary. For his Wikipedia page: click here.

Sir William (now the third of this list) would play a large part in the 100 years war, and other 14th century conflicts. He was made Seneschal of Poitou, and lord justice of all the king's lands in Scotland in 1348. He was referred to by Chandos Herald as "Felleton Guilliam qui ot cœur de lyon", (William Felton who had the heart of a lion). He was killed on 19 March 1367 at Aríñez, in a skirmish before the battle of Navarrete, in which his kinsman Sir Thomas Felton was taken prisoner. The heroic resistance of a handful of Englishmen and the rash bravery of Felton seem to have struck the imagination of the people of the country, where the recollection of this feat of arms is still to be found in legend. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle depicted this battle in the finale of his historical novel The White Company (1891). His last stand is described by the Chandos Herald (York University Translation):

 
Battle of Nájera 1367. Sir William Felton died in a skirmish led by Sir Thomas Felton before this battle.

Then the main body of the Spaniards rode up and met Felton and Sir Richard Taunton, Degori Says (?), Ralph de Hastings, who cared not two cherries for death, and Sir Gaillard Beguer, and many a good and valiant knight: they were a good one hundred fighting-men together, great and small. Their company rallied on a little mountain, but Sir William, the valiant, very boldly and bravely charged among the enemy like a man devoid of sense and discretion, on horseback, lance couched. Striking a Spaniard upon his flower-emblazoned shield, he made him feel through the heart his sharp blade of steel. Down to the ground he hurled him in the sight of all the people. Like a man full of great hardihood he rushed upon them, with drawn sword, and the Castilians by their might followed him on all sides, and threw spears and darts at him. They slew his horse under him, but Sir William Felton defended himself stoutly on foot, like a lion-hearted man; albeit his defence availed him little, for he was slain. God have mercy on him.[10]

Sir John Felton

edit

On his death in 1367, Sir John Felton (his half brother), whose prospects had hitherto seemed rather modest, succeeded to almost all his half-brother’s possessions. He did not gain custody of them without a struggle, though, since the guardians of his two young nephews of the half-blood, William Hilton (the future Lord Hilton) and (Sir) Thomas Swinburne, tried to prove that most of the property had been settled upon the boys in fee simple, giving them a superior title at law. A number of separate inquests held locally to determine the descent of the Northumbrian manors returned contradictory findings, but after a protracted bout of litigation, which lasted until August 1372, John managed to uphold his claim to most of the inheritance, except for rents worth £25 p.a. in Nafferton, half the manor of Milbourne and various holdings in Durham. These were finally assigned to the two boys when they came of age, seven years later.

A trusted figure in border affairs, Sir John served as a conservator of truces with Scotland and fought under Sir Henry Percy ("Hotspur") at the Battle of Otterburn in 1388. He also served as sheriff of Northumberland and represented the county in Parliament. Through his marriages, he expanded the family's influence into Yorkshire and Northamptonshire. His estate passed to his daughters and eventually integrated into the Hastings family holdings, marking the family's legacy on the Anglo-Scottish border.

On his death, the Feltons died out in Edlingham and the North.

Felton of Litcham

edit

Sir Robert Felton

edit
 
Village sign, Litcham. The coat of arms, bottom, is that of the Feltons of Litcham, but have been repainted in the wrong colours.

The Feltons of Litcham descended from Pagan (Paine)'s other son, the aforementioned Roger or Robert de Feltone. He married Maud, a kinswoman of John IV le Strange, who was the son of John III le Strange of Knockyn. Through this marriage, Robert was granted the Manor of Litcham, in Norfolk, an Ancient seat of the le Stranges.[11] He was in the Army of Scotland in 1298, and became Constable of Lochmaben Castle, during the English invasion of Scotland in 1300, where he was attacked by Scots sallying out from Caeverlock. In the fighting, he killed the constable of Caerlaverock, Robert Cunningham and, as a symbol of victory, stuck his head on the great tower of Lochmaben. He later became Constable of Scarborough, and was at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, where he was killed. In many ways his career matches that of his brother, William the Elder, who was also a celebrated soldier. Some sources list there being two Roberts, father and son, but this is a simpler explanation.[12]

Sir John Felton

edit
 
Caerphilly Castle

The son of Robert, John was also an accomplished castellan and soldier, holding the post of Constable of Newcastle, and was an Admiral of England[13].[14] He was also made constable of Caerphilly by Edward II. At the time of Edward III's invasion of England, John was left to defend Caerphilly Castle, where Hugh, the son of Hugh Despenser (Edward II's favourite, who was partly to blame for the invasion) was sheltered.[15] John was ordered by Edward II in October 1326 to hold the Marches of Wales against the rebels,[16] and in December told not to surrender the castle of Caerphilly.[17] John stayed loyal, refused to surrender Hugh to be executed like his grandfather and father, even after offers of pardon for the whole garrison.[18][19] Eventually the siege was abandoned and everyone inside pardoned, including the young Hugh.[20] To this day a part of the castle is called Felton's Tower.[21] Before Edward II was deposed, he had gifted Lyonshall Castle to John, after it had passed into crown hands, but it was taken by force by William Devereux of Frome, a grandson of William Devereux, Baron Devereux of Lyonshall, who had held the castle until 1300. This wasn't the first time the Devereuxs had tried to retake the castle. Sir John was compensated by the king, and Devereaux's claim declared null.[22]

Sir Hamon Felton

edit

John had three sons, Sir Hamon, Sir Thomas, and Sir Edmund. Hamon was the eldest, and so inherited his father's lands. He became the Knight of the Shire for Norfolk twice, in 1372 and 1377, but died with no male heirs, and his younger brother Thomas succeeded him in 1379.[23][24]

Sir Thomas Felton KG

edit

A summary. For his Wikipedia page: click here.

Sir Thomas Felton would become the most famous knight of his dynasty, winning glory in France, and favour with the Black Prince during the 100 years war. He began his career with the Crécy campaign, being present at the Battle of Crécy and the Siege of Calais. He accompanied the Prince when he went to take gascony, and fought at Poitiers. He was one of the signatories of the Treaty of Brétigny,[25] and was the principal witness to the Black Prince's marriage.[26]

In the 1360s, Felton was made Seneschal of Aquitaine, neighbouring his cousin William's Poitou, where he represented the Prince. He led an invasion into Spain with John Chaundos in 1367 and, leading an advance force, was captured at Aríñez, where his cousin William was killed.[27] Thomas was later exchanged as a hostage for Arnoul d'Audrehem, Marshal of France. He was captured again in 1377, and was ransomed for thirty thousand francs. He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1381, and died later the same year.[28]

His only son, Thomas, died at birth, meaning he was without issue male, so the Manor of Litcham was reverted back to the family le Strange, owing to a special tail male specified upon the marriage of Sir Robert, his grandfather. Thomas had three daughters and coheiresses; Mary, Sybil, and Eleanor.[29] Eleanor would go on to marry Thomas Hoo, and have the son Thomas Hoo, Baron Hoo and Hastings[30], who became the great-great-great grandfather of Elizabeth I, making her Eleanor's descendant.

Felton of Playford

edit

Sir Anthony Felton

edit
 
Playford Hall today.

The Feltons of Playford were descended from Thomas' younger brother Edmund, who was still alive in 1364.[31] Sir Anthony Felton (d.1613) was the third generation of his family to reside in Playford. He served as Sheriff of Suffolk in 1597, was knighted in 1603, and in the 1590s, he married into the nobility, with his wife being the daughter of Lord Grey de Groby. This connection provided him with ample justification for constructing a grand new home. The house he built is a Grade II* moated Elizabethan mansion: Playford Hall, though the eastern section is believed to have been demolished in the mid-18th century, with the reasons for this still under debate. Sir Anthony passed away in 1613, shortly after the house’s completion.[32]

Sir Henry Felton, 1st Baronet

edit

Sir Henry Felton, 1st Baronet (d.1624), was the son and heir of Sir Anthony Felton. He inherited the Felton estate at Playford and was granted the title of Baronet in 1620 during the reign of James I. Sir Henry married Dorothy, the daughter of Sir Bassingbourne Gawdy, a prominent landowner with estates in Norfolk and Suffolk. His marriage into the Gawdy family solidified his status among the English gentry. Sir Henry’s tenure as Baronet marked a significant step in the family’s ascent to greater prominence. He passed away on September 18, 1624, shortly after receiving his Baronetcy.[7]

Sir Henry Felton, 2nd Baronet

edit

Sir Henry Felton, 2nd Baronet (1619-1690), succeeded his father, Sir Henry Felton, 1st Baronet, at the age of five upon his father's death in 1624. He was placed under the guardianship of the Chancery. For much of his early life, Sir Henry resided at Shotley, as his grandmother, Sir Anthony’s widow, retained Playford Hall for her jointure. In 1677, a story from Clarke’s History of Ipswich recounts an incident where Sir Henry feigned illness to avoid a meeting with Sir Phineas Pratt regarding the sale of timber.

Sir Henry was twice elected as Member of Parliament for Suffolk, serving in the Convention Parliament and in the second Parliament of Charles II from 1661 to 1678. In 1677, a pamphlet attributed to Andrew Marvell described him as "a Pensioner" and his son as a "Bed-chamberman." Sir Henry is also noted for a quarrel with his cousins, the Gawdys, which led to a conflict with Parliament after he brought charges against Mr. Gawdy.

He married Susan, the daughter of Sir Lionel Tollemache, 2nd Baronet, with whom he had five sons and two daughters. Sir Henry Felton died in 1690, and was succeeded by his eldest son Adam.[7]

In the early 1670s, he married Elizabeth, the widow of Sir Francis Foljambe, 1st Baronet., Edward Horner, and William Monson, 1st Viscount Monson of Castlemaine. Elizabeth was the daughter of Sir George Beresby of Thrybergh, Yorkshire, and Elizabeth Tamworth, co-heir of John Tamworth of Shervile Court, Hampshire. Born in 1613, Elizabeth died in 1695, and administration of her estate was granted in 1696. Sir Adam Felton died without issue in February 1696/7. His will, dated 25 January 1696/7, was proved on 19 February 1696/7.[33]

Sir Thomas Felton, 4th Baronet

edit

Sir Thomas Felton, 4th Baronet (1649–1709), was an English politician and courtier, remembered for his close association with the royal household. He was the brother and heir to the Felton baronetcy, which he inherited in 1697.A notable figure at the court of King Charles II, Felton served as one of the Grooms of the Bedchamber, attending to the king's personal needs. He also held the prestigious role of Comptroller of the Household to Queen Catherine of Braganza, Charles II’s wife.

Felton’s political career included representing Orford as a Member of Parliament from 1690 to 1700 and Bury St Edmunds from 1701 to 1709. During his tenure in Parliament, Felton was involved in several sessions, contributing to political discourse during the turbulent reigns of William III and Queen Anne.[33]

He married Elizabeth Howard, the daughter of James Howard, 3rd Earl of Suffolk, and Barbara Villiers. She eloped with him in 1675, when she was just 19.[34] She was a Maid of Honour to Queen Catherine of Braganza, known for her beauty and scandalous reputation[35]. She had affairs with notable figures at court, such as the poet John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester, Francis the son of 1st Earl of Bradford, and possibly the Duke of Monmouth. Elizabeth passed away in December 1681 at the age of 25, and she was buried at Walden. The couple had a daughter, Elizabeth. On Felton’s death, 2 March 1709, the baronetcy passed to his brother.

Sir Compton Felton, 5th Baronet

edit

Sir Compton Felton, 5th Baronet (c.1650–1719), inherited the title from Sir Thomas, but died without male heirs. He married Frances Finch of Playford, but they had no children, leading to the extinction of the Felton Baronetcy upon his death. Sir Compton passed away on November 18, 1719, at his home in Ipswich at the age of 69.[33]

Influence in other families

edit

Sir Thomas Felton, 4th Baronet's daughter, Elizabeth, would go on to marry John Hervey, 1st Earl of Bristol (On Thomas' death the Herveys would inherit Playford Hall, the 5th Earl leasing it to Thomas Clarkson the abolitionist, in 1813), and have seventeen children.

One of she named Felton Hervey, who would become a politician[36], and name one of his sons Felton Lionel Hervey. Felton Lionel Hervey became a Lieutenant, and married a daughter of Sir John Elwill, 4th Baronet. His son, Colonel Felton Hervey-Bathurst, 1st Baronet[37], would go on to be a decorated officer, losing an arm in the process, and fight at Waterloo.[38] Thus an obscure family name became an even rarer given name, surviving today as a middle name of businessman and historic preservationist James Felton Somers Hervey-Bathurst CBE DL, grandson of the 5th Baronet.[39]

The Playford estate continued to be held in Hervey hands for 200 years, until it was sold following the death of the 4th Marquess in 1951.[32]
