SIR WILLIAM DE FELTON "the Younger", of Edlingham, West Matfen, and Nafferton, Northumberland, Medomsley and Hamsterley, Co. Durham, and Boddington, Northants, sometime Constable of Roxburgh castle ... d. 21 Sep. 1358.
-
Will, directing his burial to be in the Church of St. John the Baptist at Edlingham, dated Monday before the Nativity of the Virgin [3 Sep.] 1358.
-
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 at Edlingham, bought by him in 1294, passed on his death to his son, Sir William the younger, 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, which was duly entailed upon their elder son, John.
-
The rest of the Felton estates, however, descended on Sir William’s death, in September 1358, to the son of his first marriage, another Sir William.
