Thomas de Botetourt d. 1322 (abt. 1292 - abt. 1322)

Thomas de Botetourt was the first son of Sir John de Botetourt who's chantry can be found in the church of St. Mary Belchamp Walter.

Again, the Wikitree profile does contain some collabrating information but also introduces some that does not make sense (at the moment). For example: there is no mention of Framlingham castle on the Framlingham related websites, the village, the castle and any other sites that I can find.

The Wikitree profile:

Sir John, 2nd Lord Botetourt

The Botetourt family had substancial wealth and their descendants were also beneficiaries of this in addition to that of marriges to other wealthy families.

The wealth of the Botetourt family was passed down through John (2nd Lord) and the "substantial Botetourt inheritance," was mentioned in the account of Sir Robert Moton of Peckleton and Hugh, Lord Burnell.

Peckleton is in Leicestershire and the name Bartholomew Brokesby is associated with this inheritance.

Residence at Mary Hall, Belchamp Walter

Although I have not seen this confirmed elsewhere, Thomas Wright records that he was the owner of Mary Hall, Belchamp Walter.

According to Thomas Wright Mary Hall was purchased after 1276 from John Manduit who supposedly owned the manor from 1270 to 1276.

It is my suspicion that Thomas Botetourt as a resident of the vicinity of Belchamp Walter church is in fact the father of Sir John de Botetourt who the memorial in the church was erected in memorial. The information that was included in the description of the chantry chapel that was written for the church on 1965 was incorrect.
