  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  OTES BOTETOURT, Knt., of Mendlesham, Suffolk, and Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, younger son, adult by 1329. He married SIBYL ___, allegedly the daughter and heiress of Deincourt. They had one son, John, Knt. In 1329 he acknowledged that he owed 43 marks to John de Saint Philibert; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in Leicestershire. In 1330 he obtained a license to alienate a messuage, 30 acres of land and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church for the souls of his parents, John and Maud Botetourt. SIR OTES BOTETOURT died 11 Nov. 1345. His widow, Sibyl, married (2nd) before 25 Sept. 1349 (date of commission) RICHARD TRULOVE (or TREWELOVE), Knt., King's yeoman, and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk. On 25 Sept. 1349 a commission of oyer and terrniner was appointed on complaint of Richard Trulove, who alleged that John de Wynchestre, Peter de Hoo, parson of the church of Ode, and Robert de Stokton and others broke his close at Mendlesham, Suffolk, carried away his goods, and assaulted his men and servants. In 1349 he was pardoned of the king's suit against him for the death of John de Wynchestre, and of any consequent outlawry. In 1350 he was pardoned of the king's suit for the death of Robert de Stokton. Blore Hist. & Antiqs. of Rutland 1(2) (1811): 90, 209 (Botetourt Peds.). Procs. Suffolk Inst. of Arch. & Nat.
