  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  “MAUD FITZ THOMAS, born about 1269-72 (aged 26 in 1295, aged 30 in 1302). She married before June 1282 JOHN BOTETOURT (or BUTETURTE, BOUTECOURTE, BOTECOURT, BUTECOURT), Knt., of Little Effingham and Upton, Norfolk, Great Bradley, Suffolk, etc., and, in right of his wife, of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire, Linslade, Buckinghamshire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, etc., Admiral of the North Fleet, Warden of the Forest of Dean and Constable of St. Briayels Castle, 1291-1308, Governor of Framlingham Castle, son and heir of Guy Botetourt, Knt., of Little Effingham, Cantley, Cranworth, Fishley, Kimberley, Upton, and Woodrising, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada. They had four sons, Thomas, Knt., John, K.B., Otes, Knt., and Robert, and three daughters, Joan, Ada, and Elizabeth. He began his household career as a falconer in the 1270s. He first campaigned in Wales in 1282 as a squire of the household. His wife, Maud, was co-heiress in 1283 to her brother, Otes Fitz Thomas, and sole heiress in 1285 to her sister, Joan, wife of Guy Ferre, by which she inherited the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint, together with the manors of Mendlesham, Suffolk, Belchamp Otton, Gestingthorpe, and Gosfield, Essex, Woodmancote, Gloucestershire, Hamerton, Huntingdonshire, Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire, and a one-third share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire. In 1286 he claimed view of frankpledge and free warren in Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. Sometime in the period, 1291-1302, Maud was heiress to her cousin, Joan, daughter of Hugh Fitz Otes, Knt., by which she inherited the manor of Isetthampstead (in Chesham), Buckinghamshire. In 1292-3 he was a justice of gaol delivery in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 1293 he and his wife Maud his wife quitclaimed to the Abbot of Colchester their right to the advowson of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. In 1294 when the king faced the threat of French galleys raiding the south coast of England, he appointed two household knights, William de Leyboume and John Botetourt as captain and sub-captain of the fleet. In the following year they were described as admirals - the first use of the term in England. In 1296 he commanded 94 ships taken from ports between Harwich and King's Lynn, the great majority from Yarmouth. In 1298 and 1299 he served on four commissions of oyer and terminer. In 1298 he had letters of protection for one year, he then going to Scotland. He was accompanied in that campaign by his younger brother, Guy Botetourt, and his valet, William Botetourt. In 1300 he complained William de Wolcherchehaw, taverner, beat one of his carters and did "other enormities;" the defendant came into court and pledged a cask of wine to him. He was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock in 1300; the metrical chronicler of that siege described him as "light of heart and doing good to all." The same year he was appointed one of three commissioners to inquire into cases of exportation of sterling money, gold and silver, plate, wool, etc., and the exchange of the same for base coin which was imported into England and unlawfully changed. He signed the Barons' letter to Pope Boniface VIII in 1301. In 1304 he led a raid into Nithsdale with 130 cavalry and 1,770 infantry. The same year the king ordered him to assist Robert de Brus, then on the English side, in transporting one great engine in preparation of the siege train for the siege of Stirling in Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 13 July 1305 to 13 Sept. 1324, by writs directed Jobanni Botetourt, whereby he may be held to have become Lord Botetourt. In 1305 he was appointed one of the justices of trailbaston. The same year he was sent to treat with the Scots on the affairs of that kingdom. In 1306 he enrolled himself as performing the service of one knight in Scotland, but in fact he had a contingent of three knights and eleven squires with him. In 1307 he again commanded a raid against the Scots. Sometime before 1309-10, he and his wife, Maud, conveyed land in Linslade, Buckinghamshire to William Rous. In 1309-10 William Fitz Walter conveyed the manor of Great Bradley, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1310 he obtained a license to alienate lands and rents in Mendlesham, Suffolk in mot twain to the value of 100s. for a chaplain to celebrate in Mendlesham church. In 1311 he and his wife, Maud, were granted the reversion of the manors of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire and Great Carbrooke, Norfolk by Baldwin de Manners, Knt., who died childless in 1320. John sold the former manor to William la Zouche Mortimer, Knt., Lord Zouche, and Alice his wife in 1323; the latter manor was held in 1327 by John Botetourt's son-in-law, William le Latimer. In 1312 John Botetourt and several others were granted letters of safe-conduct by the king to confer in London with Arnold, Cardinal of St. Prisca, and Louis, Count of Evreux, who were sent to help effect a reconciliation between King Edward II and the disaffected earls. In 1314 he commanded the fleet employed in the expedition against Scotland. The same year Peter de Burgate, Knt., released all his right in the manor of Mendlesham, Suffolk to him and his wife, Maud. In 1315 he complained that those recruited for his company were "feeble chaps, not strong enough, not properly dressed, and lacking bows and arrows." In 1316 he presented his brother, Master Roger Botetourt, as rector of Great Bradley, Suffolk. In 1318 he again presented to the church of Great Bradley, Suffolk. The same year he and his wife, Maud, complained that Richard, Abbot of St. Edmunds, William de Cleye, and many others came to Tivetshall, Norfolk, where Maud and some of the servants of the said John were lodged, maliciously raised a hue and cry against them, expelled the said Maud and the servants from the inn, carried away the goods of the said John, and assaulted the said servants. Either he or his grandson, John Botetourt, was heir sometime after 1318-19 to his brother, William Botetourt, by which he inherited the manor of Cantley, Norfolk. In 1319 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Woodmancote, Gloucestershire to Robert de Swynburn. In 1320 he obtained a license to alienate one acre of land in Fishley, Norfolk, together with the advowson of a moiety of the church of Fishley, Norfolk, to the Prior and Convent of St. Mary's, Weybridge, and for them to appropriate the said moiety, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine services for the soul of the said John and the souls of his ancestors. In 1321 he and his wife, Maud, sold the manor of Shelsley Beauchamp, Worcestershire to John de Wysham, Knt., and his wife, Hawise de Poynings; in 1322-3 he conveyed the manor and advowson of the church of Little Effingham, Norfolk to the same couple. John joined the rebellion of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, and fought at the Battle of Boroughbridge 16 March 1321/2. He was subsequently fined £1000, and received a pardon 8 October 1322. In 1323 he and his wife, Maud, conveyed the manor of Isenhampstead Chesham), Buckinghamshire to Hugh le Despenser the younger, but, on Hugh's execution and attainder in 1326, the manor escheated to the crown and custody was re-granted to Maud Botetourt. In 1323-4 they made a settlement of the manor of Great Carbrooke, Norfolk, evidently in connection with the marriage of their daughter, Elizabeth, to William le Latimer, as William was lord of this manor in 1327. In 1324 John paid the Italian bankers, the Peruzzi, 100 marks, evidently in payment of a debt he owed to Hugh le Despenser the younger. SIR JOHN BOTETOURT, 1st Lord Botetourt, died 25 Nov. 1324. In 1325 his widow, Maud, sued Andrew de Bures, Robert de Bures and his wife, Hillary, and John de Wysham and his wife, Hawise, for one third part of the manor of Little Effingham, Norfolk, which she claimed as her dower. In 1327 she likewise sued Robert son of John Botetourt, John de Wynchestre and others regarding unspecified land in Suffolk. In 1328 she obtained a license to enfeoff Master William Artoys of a messuage and land in Renhold, Bedfordshire. On 12 Nov. 1328 she obtained a license to convey to her daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and William le Latimer, her share of the barony of Bedford, Bedfordshire, including the manors of Bromham, Cardington, Dilewick, Renhold, and Wootton, Bedfordshire. Maud, Lady Botetourt, died shortly before 27 Nov. 1328. In May 1329 her son-in-law, William le Latimer, was pardoned for having previously purchased from her without license the hereditary office of coiner of the Mint. In 1330 John and Maud's son, Otes Botetourt, obtained a license to alienate in mortrnain a messuage, 30 acres of land, and 30s. in rent in Mendlesham, Suffolk to a chaplain to celebrate divine services in the parish church of Mendlesham for the souls of his parents.
  (Note: F.N. Craig published a brilliant article entitled "The Parentage of John Botetourt (died 1324)" in TAG 63 (1988): 145-153, which article provides compelling evidence that Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, is the son and heir of Sir Guy Botetourt (died c.1316), of Effingham, Norfolk, by his wife, Ada (living 1311-12). Specifically, Mr. Craig showed that Sir Guy Botetourt had the manors of Effingham (his chief seat), Uphall (in Cantley), and Upton, Norfolk, all of which passed to Sir John Botetourt, 1st Lord Botetourt, or his descendants. For additional evidence of Sir John Botetourt's parentage, see Byerly & Byerly Recs. of the Wardrobe & Household 1286-1289 (1986): 258, which mentions Robert brother of John Botetourt. This Robert appears to be the same individual as Robert son of Guy Botetourt, a priest, who occurs in 1306; a Roger son of Guy Botetourt, also a priest, is named in 1306 [see Papal Regs.: Letters 2 (1895): 15, 211.
