The Luttrell FAQs - mysteries, contradictions & controversies about Luttrell history and genealogy. |
"Dominus Galfridus Louterell me fieri fecit" 'The Lord Geoffrey Luttrell caused me to be made' - reads the inscription above the illustration of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, his wife Agnes de Sutton, and daughter-in-law Beatrice le Scrope. The illustration is from "one of the most famous manuscripts in the world", THE LUTTRELL PSALTER, written and illuminated in England early in the 14th century for Sir Geoffrey Luttrell of Irnham in Lincolnshire. This Sir Geoffrey was the great-great grandson of Geoffrey Luttrell, a "privy counselor" to King John and a "Rebel Baron on the field in 1215" at the signing of the Magna Carta. This "original" Sir Geoffrey was very possibly the "father" of us all. |

Hopefully, with the help of interested Luttrells, amateur and professional researchers, and other knowledgeable internet surfers, we can bring much of this wonderful history into one virtual collection. |
