=== Lord Walter Hungerford, (1378-1449) Sir ===
Lord Walter Hungerford, (1378-1449) Sir Walter (later Lord Walter) strongly supported the Lancastriancause at the close of the reign of Richard II, last of the Plantagenetrulers. Unpon the accession of Henry IV in 1399, first of the Lancastriankings, he was knighted and granted 100 pounds per year, to be taken outof the lands of Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk, in consideration of hiseminent services. He was taken prisoner by rebels during the 1400uprising against the new king, but was accused of disloyalty forallegedly stealing gold jewels and saddles from William Tanner. However,having proved his innocence and loyalty, he again became the King'sKnight. In October 1406 he was appointed Chamberlain of the PrincessPhillipa and accompanied her to Denmark when she was married to KingEric. He was with the English army in the wars with France (The HundredYears War) and acquired great honor at Calais in 1406 where he bested aknight of France (or the King of France) in a duel. For his honors andexpenses, he was granted 100 marks per year payable out of the town andcastle of Marleborough in Wiltshire County, where he was appointedSheriff. In the 13th Henry IV (1412), at the death of his mother Joane, heinherited the manors of Heytesbury and Teffont-Evias, Wiltshire County,Farleigh and other in Somerset County. In the 2nd Henry V (1414) he was appointed ambassador to Sigismund,the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Hungary. Sigismund, successor to KingWenceslaus IV, crowned Vlad, Prince of Wallachia, whose family is nowwell known as that of Count Dracula. The next year he was with Henry V with 20 men-at-arms and 60 housearchers at Agincourt. It is reported that Sir Walter, not the Earl ofWestmoreland, was the officer who expressed regret that the English didnot have 10,000 archers, drawing the famous rebuke from the King recordedby Shakespeare (Henry V, Act IV, Scene iii): "No, my fair cousin; If we are marked to die, we are enough To do our counrty loss; and if to live The fewer m en, the greater share of honour. God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more." In the 4th Henry V (1417), Sir Walter was appointed Admiral of theFleet under John, Duke of Bedford. For the next few years he was stewardof the King's household and entirely engaged in the Wars. He was in theKing's service at the Siege of Roan, after which he obtained grant of theBarony of Homet in Normandy, formerly enjoyed by Sir William de Montney.For this honour, Lord Walter yearly rendered to the King and his heirsone lance with a fox-tail hanging thereat upon the feast day of theexhaultation of the Holy Cross, and provided ten men-at-arms and twentyarchers to serve the King or his lieutenant in the wars. Continuing toacquire fresh laurels on French soil, this gallant soldier obtained as afurther grant for his services, the castle of Neville and territory ofBreant in Normandy, with diverse other lands which had been thepossessions of Sir Robert de Breant. In the 8th Henry V (1421) he was installed as a Knight of the Garter. In 1422, Lord Walter was an executor of the will of Henry V, and onthe advice of Parliament, was appointed steward of the infant King HenryVI. [Further to Lord Walter's role as executor of the will of Henry V,Richard Hungerford, North American representative for the Hungerford andAssociated Families Society has contributed the following: "Walter 1st Lord Hungerford, Speaker to Parliament and Ambassador tothe Council of Constance, fought at Agincourt, was treasurer to Henry VI,and was an executor of the will of Henry V." A scholarly discussion (and copy of) the will can be found on page79 of the January 1981 issue of "English Historical Review." The text ofthe will was in Latin - it was not translated by the author of thearticle (he assumed you could read it) - so I asked a priest at thecollege I attended to translate portions of the text where the nameHungerford was present. The priest, Rev. Joseph Costillo, said the following about hisattempts to read the pas sages. "The problem with these texts is that theywere written by lawyers, who have a stake in arcane and archaic language.They get paid for writing the unintelligible, and get paid again fordeciphering it." Here are the passages he translated for me: "Likewise we leave to Robert, Lord of Willoughby a golden cup. Likewise we leave to Walter Hungerford, the procurator for our home agolden chalice." (Earlier in the sentence: "We name, create, and delegate as executors of this will of our king) Walter Hungerford, procurator of our home of Willoughby, Walter Beauchamp, the treasurer of our home, Luis Robessarat, William Porter, Robrt Babthorp, the bookkeeper of ourhouse, privates John Wodehouse, John Leventhorp, and John Wilcotes armorers. Among those whom we have appointed to be our executors and administrators are Henry, Lord of Fitz Hugh, Walter Hungerford, Walter Beauchamp, Louis Robessart, William Porter, and Robert Babthorp, privates, and also (John) Wodehouse, John Leventhorp and John Wilcotes, already mentioned, whome we wish to immediately appoint for the execution of this our last will and to be continuously diligent until each and everything in this our will has been accomplished." "We also wish that with respect to his person and in his home he should be assisted by our beloved and faithful chamberlain, and by Walter Hungerford, our procurator, one of who we wish to be always with him. We also wish that all our books, of whatever kind or material that are not mentioned in our will or (its) appendices should remain with our son for his library."] Sir Walter, Lord Homet, was installed in the House of Lords, theUpper House of Parliament in the 4th Henry VI as the first BaronHungerford by Writ of Summons, January 7, 1426. The Parliament, held atLeicester, was known as the "Parliament of Bats", and during it LordHungerford was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. Lord Walter becameconstable of Windsor Castle, and in the 6th of Henry VI, he gave diversehouses and shops in the parish of St. Anthony in London to the Free RoyalChapel of St. Stephen in the palace at Westminster. In consideration ofthis grant, they covenanted to make him partaker of all their masses andsuffrages during his lifetime, and to celebrate his death annually with"Placebo", "Dirige", and a mass of "Requiem". At the mass they were todistribute certain allotments to each churchman. In the 9th Henry VI(1431) his Lordship had licence to transport 3000 marks for the ransom ofhis son Walter, then a prisoner in France. In the 24th Henry VI (1446) hewas granted the town and manor of Hungerford. Lord Walter remained inParliament until his death in the 27th Henry VI (1449). Sir Walter, Lord Hungerford of Heytesbury, Knight of the Garter,Baron Hungerford and Homet, Treasurer of England - directed that he beburied with his first wife, Catherine, in a certain chapel in theCathedral Church at Salisbury, in which he had founded a perpetualchantry for two chaplains. After some pious bequests, his Testament,dated July 1, 1449, left various properties, gifts and bequests to hisfamily, his second wife Eleanor, Countess Arundel, his sons Sir RobertLord Hungerford and Sir Edmund, his daughters Elizabeth and Margaret,Lady Margaret, wife of Lord Robert, and his grandsons Sir Robert LordMoleyns, Arnolph, and William. Because his much-honoured Lord ViscountBeaumont was lineally descended from the Dukes of Lancaster, hebequeathed him a cup of silver with a cover bordered in gold. From thiscup, the most noble Prince John, son of Henry VI, Duke of Lancaster, wasoften served. Heytesbury is a Wiltshire village which lies in the lovely WylyeValley. The Hospital of St. John the Baptist and St. Katherine, theHungerford Almshouse, was founded in 1449 by Sir Walter, first LordHungerford, and completed by his daughter-in-law Margaret BotreauxHungerford. The original structure was burned in the great fire of 1765which nearly destroyed the entire town of Heytesbury, and has beenreplaced by a modern hospital and apartments. The hospital continues tocarry on the works assigned in the 15th century.
