General Notes

The noble family of Luttrell, or Loterell, was established in England by one of the chiefs in the Norman Conquest, whose name is to be found in the Roll of Battle Abbey. In the reigns of Henry I [1100-1135] and King Stephen [1135-1154], Sir John Luttrell held, in capite, the manor of Hoton Pagnel, in Yorkshire, which vested in his male descendants until the time of Henry V, when it devolved upon an heiress, who espoused John Scott, feudal lord of Calverley, and steward of the household to the Empress Maud.
The estates of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, knt. in the counties of Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, and York, were confiscated in the reign of Richard I [1189-1199] for his adhesion to John, Earl of Morton, but they were restored upon the accession of that prince to the throne as King John. Sir Geoffrey subsequent accompanied the king into Ireland and obtained from the crown a grant of Luttrellstown, in that kingdom. The descendants of Sir Geoffrey were afterwards feudal barons of Irnham. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 142, Luttrell, of Dunster Castle]
