Some corrections and additions to the Complete Peerage: Volume 2: Botetourt
(PROPOSED CORRECTIONS)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTETOURT
Originally, volume 4 said that John's parentage was unknown. Stewart
Baldwin, in March 1998, and later others, referred to the work of F.N.
Craig, The American Genealogist, vol. 63, pp. 145-153 (1988), arguing that
a pedigree in the Hailes Abbey Chronicle is incorrect in making him a son
of Edward I, and that he was probably the son of Guy de Botetourt (living
1274, 1316), by his wife Ada. Douglas Richardson, in October 2002, produced
some supporting evidence.
Volume 2, page 235 (as modified by volume 14):
JOYCE, apparently, according to modern doctrine, suo jure BARONESS BOTETOURT
... ... granddaughter and h., being da. and h. of John DE BOTETOURT, by
Maud da. of John (DE GREY), 2nd LORD GREY OF ROTHERFIELD, which John de
B. was s. and h. ap. (by his 2nd wife) of the late Lord, and d. v.p. 21
Sep. 1369.
Apparently the elder John de Botetourt did not have a first wife Maud
de Grey, while the younger John de Botetourt married, soon after 28 November
1358, Maud, daughter of John, 1st (not 2nd) Lord Grey of Rotherfield, by
his 2nd wife Avice Marmion. Maud remarried, before 13 June 1374, to Sir
Thomas de Harcourt, of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire (see Erdington, vol.
5, pp. 88, 89).
The elder John's first wife Maud, and the statement that he had issue
both by her and by Joyce Zouche, appear to have been copied from a pedigree
in Blore's History of Rutland [p. 90]. This was later corrected by the
author [p. 209], and this Maud seems to have arisen purely out of confusion
with the wife of the younger John de Botetourt.
A settlement was made, 28 November 1358, on the younger John de Botetourt
and Maud, the daughter of John de Grey of Retherfeld (or Rotherfeld) [Calendar
of Patent Rolls, 1358-1361, pp. 125, 127]. As Maud's father is described
simply as John de Grey, not John de Grey the younger, it seems more natural
to identify him as the first Lord Grey of Rotherfield, who did not die
until 1359. This indication is confirmed by the heraldry on the tombs of
Maud and her grandson Sir Robert Harcourt, at Stanton Harcourt. These were
described in 1808 as displaying the arms of Marmion [George Simon, Earl
Harcourt, An Account of the Church and Remains of the Manor House of Stanton
Harcourt in the County of Oxford, pp. 8, 9, 13 (1808)]. Avice Marmion was
the 2nd wife of John de Grey, the first Lord Grey of Rotherfield, but was
not the mother of his son John, the second Lord.
[This problem was discussed in October 2003 and later by Rosie Bevan,
John Stuart, Doug Smith, Douglas Richardson, Jim Weber and Paul Reed.
The title Baron Botetourt was created in the Peerage of England by writ
of summons on 19 June 1305. It became abeyant in 1406, was recalled from
abeyance in 1764 for Norborne Berkeley. However, it became abeyant again
on his death in 1770. It was recalled a second time in 1803 for the 5th
Duke of Beaufort, and became a subsidiary title of the Dukes of Beaufort
until the death of the 10th Duke in 1984, when it became, and remains,
abeyant.
Norborne Berkeley, 4th Baron Botetourt (1718 – October 15, 1770) was
governor of the Virginia Colony from 1768 to 1770. He was a member of Board
of Visitors of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Before coming to Virginia he was (as Norborne Berkeley) Member of Parliament
for Gloucestershire 1741 – 1763. He then obtained his peerage, when it
was called out of abeyance in 1764, the third holder of the title having
died in 1406. Lord Botetourt resided in the Governor's Palace on Duke of
Gloucester Street, now a major attraction of Colonial Williamsburg in the
Historic Triangle. Although a popular governor, Lord Botetourt served only
two years. He died suddenly while still in office in 1770 and was buried
in the Wren Building Chapel at William and Mary. Botetourt County, Virginia
was named in his honour. A lifelong bachelor, he endowed an award at the
College of William and Mary that is still known as the Botetourt Medal;
it is the College's most prestigious award. The Medal has been awarded
to an exceptional student every year since the late eighteenth century.

John de Botetourt, 1st Lord (d 25.11.1324, Admiral)
Many
web sites show this John as a son of Edward
Longshanks (King Edward I of England), some as an illegitimate son,
others as a legitimate son by Edward's second wife, Margaret of France.
Neither TCP nor BE1883 make any mention of any such connection, TCP simply
saying his "parentage is unknown". GenEU (Anjou) reports that King Edward
had an illegitimate son called John
Walter FitzRoy de Botetourte whose similar identification, if he indeed
existed, may have led to this confusion. As TCP and, in particular, BE1883
may have been expected to report the possibility of a descent from King
Edward had such been considered possible, we suspect that this connection
is a relatively new 'discovery' and merely report the fact that (for reasons
of which we are not aware) there are some who think there was such a connection.
But his successful career does speak for high birth.
