    • Wrottesley 1: Wrottesley of Wrottesley

      BP1934 reports that "this family was originally named de Verdon, and they are doubtless a younger branch of the baronial house of Verdon of Alton, whose arms they originally bore." We have no reason to doubt this but note that, for this to be true and noting the dates involved, the following Ralph brother of Walter, "the first Norman abbot of Evesham" must have been son or brother of Bertram de Verdun of Farnham Royal, apparently the first to be named de Verdun or Verdon.

      Ralph

      BP1934 reports that Ralph de Cocton was grandson of this Ralph who is presumed to have been his paternal rather than maternal grandfather and so was father of ...

      Biography

      John was the son of Hugh De Wrottesley and Isabel Arderne. He married Elizabeth Standish, daughter of Sir Robert Standish, Sheriff of Lancashire and Isolda, on 10 April 1385. They were the parents of:

      Hugh (1400-1464)

      According to the Inquisition on his mother's death, John de Wrottesley came of age on the 29th September 1400. He is shown to be son of Sir Hugh by this Inquisition, by another Inquisition on his own death, by two writs on the Chester Recognizance Roll1 of 3-4 Henry IV, and by a suit on the Chester Plea Roll of 10 Henry IV. He had been married to his wife, Elizabeth Standish, when six years of age, and his eldest son Hugh was born just a fortnight before John attained his majority.
