THE FIRST NAME OF WYATT
The name Wyatt appears in the History of Wales as far back as 912 when there were two clans by that name; one know as the Black Wyatts and the other as the Red Wyatts 
The name first appears in English History in 1273 when the Red Wyatts under a fealty grant from the English Crown built what was known as "Wyatt Hall" in Devonshire. 
The first Wyatt record in Scotland was Malcolm Wyatt at Anegos, who rendered homage to the King in 1296. A James Wyatt was Burgess of Arbroath in 1464. ( Reference: "By the name of Wyatt, Wyatt Laws 1968) 
The dissolution of the monasteries caused the destruction or loss of all their main records in 1530. They had been the accepted record keepers so we get a gap until the Parish Churches started keeping their records in about 1520, under Elizabeth’s Government instructions. 
In the 12th century Wyatts sprang up from Guys all over England and had no genealogical kinship. Thus there is no genealogical reason to assume that one Wyatt family is necessarily akin to another. 
Another cause of the loss of family records occurred when families moved long distances. In our case this can now be seen to have been due to the move of: 
a. The Henry Wiats from Yorkshire to Kent 
b. The Hugh Wiats from Devonshire to Staffordshire. 
EARLY ORIGINS OF THE WYATTS 
Surnames are of late origin, there being hardly any in England of the pre-Norman Conquest days. The usual practice was to use the "son of " method. 
Most surnames in England date only from the thirteenth-fourteenth century, and were derived from place names. 
The name Guyot, derived from the old German "wido", meaning wood, came to England in Norman times, where it flourished greatly and was the point of departure of many surnames such as Wyatt, Wyon, Guyon, Guise and Guy. 
This became anglicised into Wiot, Wyot and finally Wyatt and first appears in the Pipe Rolls at the end of the 12th century. The earliest record is to a Wiotus de Colnbrook, alive in 1315 who held land at Langley Marish, (just east of Windsor and Eton) 
Adelle Bartlett-Harper, in her work on the origins of the Wyatt family says that "Ancient English manuscripts state that the first Wyatt to come to England is said to have been Admiral Wyatt, or Guyot as the name was spelt in Normandy. Guyot had charge of the Norman fleet when William the Conqueror landed in 1066. He married one of the Conquerors daughters and along with others was awarded large estates, which were located in Yorkshire, near the ancient town of Southange. In time the name Guyot was anglicised to Wiot, then Wiat and finally to Wyatt, by Sir Francis Wyatt, while Governor of Virginia; this being one of the five spellings he used during his term of office 1621-29, when signing official documents. 
There is definite evidence that the Wyatts owned land at Southange, (South Haigh, or Upper Haigh) in the township of Kexburgh, near Darton, "a trifle north-east of the town of Barnsley in Yorkshire". Haigh still exists and is shortly (1967) to become important as a motorway junction on the new length of the M1. This junction, fortunately, will not effect the Hall which is off the main road to the sound of the present hamlet of Haigh. 
Sir George Wiatt (21) 1554-1623 wrote a history of the Wiatt family and he only takes it back to 1300. According to him the line of decent is: 
1. Adam Wyote, (Wiat) 1320-1385 
2. William Wyot 1350-1388 
3. Robert Wyot 1383-1440 
4. Geoffrey Wiat 1410-1460 
5. Richard Wiat 1435-1475 
6. Sir Henry Wiatt 1460-1537 
Another claim to descent from Norman times is made through the ancestry of Jane Haute (18) the wife of Sir Thomas Wyatt, (the younger), 1521-1554, (17). Jane Haute’s ancestor was Piers Fitzhaut who came with William the Conqueror to England. See the notes under (18) on this lady. 
According to Dr Arthur Adams Ph.D. "Living Descendants of the Blood Royal" and Wurtes "Magna Carta", vol: 8 pp 2669, "The descendants of Haute Wyatt can trace their ancestry back via Elizabeth Brooke, wife of Sir Thomas Wyatt (11), to Clovis, the first King of the Franks, born AD496. Through this line you will have Charlemagne, William the Conqueror, Henry I, John, Henry III, Edward I, Edward II and Edward III. This claim traces the line from Clovis down to Edward III and then on to: 
John of Gaunt 1340 - 1399. Married as 3rd wife Catherine Swynford, 1396, widow of Sir Hugh Swynford 
Joan Beaufort d1440. 2nd wife of Sir Ralph Nevile 1346 - 1425 
Sir Edward De Nevile, d 1476 Lord Abervergenny. Married by special dispensation 1448, Catherine Howard daughter of Sir Robert Howard and Margaret de Mobray. 
Margaret Neville d. 1506. Married. John Brooke, 7th Lord Cobham. 
Thomas Brooke. 8th Lord Cobham m. Dorothy Heydon, daughter of Sir Henry Heydon and his wife Anne Boleyn. 
Elizabeth Brooke, 3rd daughter of Lord Cobham. m. Sir Thomas Wyatt (11) of Allington Castle. 
There are also claims for decent from the following Magna Charta Barons: 
William de Mowbray; Gilbert de Clare; Robert de Vere; Saire de Quincey; John Fitz Robert 
HISTORIANS OF THE NORMAN PERIOD
FLORENCE OF WORCESTER 
A monk of the immediate post Hastings generation. Primarily a compiler of existing works, but some of his observations usefully supplement the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 
HENRY HUNTINGDON 
Born about two decades after the Norman Conquest, and became Arch Deacon of the diocese of Lincoln. Wrote a colourful but often questionable history of England, at the bidding of his bishop: "Historia Angloram" 
WILLIAM OF MALMESBURY 
A younger contemporary of H of Huntingdon, and better historian. His work reflects the new cintinental influence of the Normans and was quickly accepted by a wide following: "Gesta Regum" 
WILLIAM OF POITIERS 
Norman chaplain of Duke William, he is best known for his valuable but eulogistic life of the Conqueror. He was also Archdeacon of Liseaux. 
WILLIAM OF JUMIEGES 
Also a contemporary of William the Conqueror. 
ORDERIC VITALIS 
Born in England on the morrow of the conquest and sent at the age of eleven to a Norman monastery. Orderic met many war veterans of the conquest period and shrewdly of their lives and times: "Historia Ecclesiastica" 
THE LEGEND OF ADMIRAL GUYOT AND THE NORMAN INVASION 1066 
Most reliable authorities of the Invasion 
The Bayeux Tapestry - believed to have been worked in England near Canterbury, by order of Eude (Odo) Bishop of Bayeux, within 20 years of the events it describes. Probably made to hang in Canterbury Cathedral, consecrated in 1077. Stitched in 8 colours of thread on coarse canvas 231½ ft long, 19½ inches wide, depicts the whole story in remarkable detail. Shows 623 persons, 202 horses and mules, 55 dogs, 505 other animals, 37 buildings, 41 ships and 49 trees; 1512 objects. Is now exhibited in the old Bishop’s Palace at Bayeux. 
William of Poitiers - who wrote: "Gesta Gukllelme Ducis Normanoram et Regis Anglorum" (The Acts of William Duke of Normandy and King of the English). Written shortly after 1071 by William of Poitiers, originally a soldier, became a priest acting as the Duke’s Chaplain during the invasion. His work is authoritative from the (naturally prejudiced). Norman point of view. 
Historia Ecclesiastica Angliae Normaniae. (The Ecclesiastical History of England and Normandy) By Ordericus Vitalis, who wrote about 1140. 
English Historical Documents (General Edition DC Douglas 1953) Contains relevant sections from: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Florence of Worcester, William of Jumieges, William of Poitiers, The Bayeux Tapestry, Ordericus Vitalis and William of Malmesbury. 
THE CONQUEROR’S COMPANIONS - (From Conquest 1066, Furneux) 
7-10 thousand men accompanied William across the channel on Sept 27th 1066, other came from Normandy afterwards. Several Normans are known to have been living in England before the Conquest
List of the Companions 
1. 1066, William had a list of the principal men at Dives on August 12th before the embarkation. This establishes for certainty the names of 32 men, the names of another 300 rest on circumstantial evidence. 
2. The Battle Abbey Roll 1086. May have been based on the list recorded at Dives and which was read out after the battle to ascertain who was alive. Placed in the keeping of the monks of Battle Abbey it disappeared in the 14th Century and is now only known in copies, the best being those of Holinshed and Leland. Battle Abbey was founded on the spot on the battlefield where Harold was slain, by Monks from Marmoutier to fulfil William’s promise, but was not completed till the next reign. Abbey was dissolved during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, (Deeds of Abbey now in Huntingdon Library, San Marino, California.) Rebuilt in 16th Century as a private dwelling, now houses a private school for girls. 
3. The Dives Roll 1866 - compiled by a committee of French scholars, includes 485 names which were inscribed on the west wall of the church at Dives where William and his army heard mass before embarking. 
4. The Falaise List 1931 - bronze tablet showing 315 names was placed in the Chapel of the Chateau at Falaise. The work of Pro: MJ Crispin, (Princeton University) and Leonce Macary, (College of Falaise). Commands greatest authority for presumption of names than those founded on direct evidence. Both 3 and 4 are based on recognised sources and the best respected copies of the Battle Abbey Roll. 
5. In 1943 Professor D Douglas made a list of 32 names definitely deducted from the Bayeux Tapestry. 
No one alive today can establish direct descent, by legal process, from a Companion of the Conqueror. Registration of Births did not become compulsory until 1533; up to then records are those based on ownership of land or summoning to military service. 
William the Conqueror. Was the 5th in lineal succession from Rollo. Richard II. (of Normandy) died in 1026 left two sons. Richard, the elder, who succeeded him. Robert, the younger, Count of Hermois, who rebelled against his brother and established himself at Falaise, at 18. Robert later succeeded Richard, who did not marry. Robert took a mistress Arlette, daughter of Fulbert, Burgess of Falaise, a tanner. Arlette’s son William was born in 1027. She married Viscount of Contville to whom she bore 2 sons, (Conquerors half-brothers), Odo Bishop of Bayeux and Count of Mortain, his principle lieutenants in the invasion and great beneficiaries of the Conquest. 
In 1051 William married Matilda, daughter of Baldwin, Count of Flanders and his wife Adele, sister of Henry of France. He had several children: Robert, Duke of Normandy, William II (of England), (Rufus), Henry 1, and Adela who married Stephen of Blois, and other daughters untraced. He is said to have 6 daughters (if Gundreda who married William Warrene) is included. "Mostly left no issue except Adela" 
THE INVASION IN 1066 
The Normans, unlike the Anglo Saxons had no Navy. Ships were specifically built and assembled at Dives. The Normans loaded 400 ships with horses, besides other ships with men and stores and sailed from St Valery on the evening of Sept 27th, disembarking the next morning at Pevensey. On Sept 8th the Fleet was transferred from Falaise to St Valery, in the Somme Estuary. 
William embarked on his own ship, the "Mora", and a herald rode along the shore calling the command that the ships were to keep together, each was to bear a light and follow the huge lantern slung at the mast of the "Mora" (Wace). The ships halted and rested just before daylight to allow stragglers to catch up. Only 2 ships were lost. They sighted Pevensey at about 7 am Sept 28th. 
The Daughters of William the Conqueror. According to DC Douglas. (William the Conqueror - 1964) quoting from Ordericus Vitalis: 
1. Agatha. First betrothed to Harold of Wessex then Alphonse of Spain. 2. Adeliza. Took religious vows. 3. Cecily. Born before 1066 became Abbess of Holy Trinity Caen. Died 1127. 4. Adela, married in 1050 to Stephan, Count of Blois. Died 1137. 5. Constance. Married 1086 to Alan IV Count of Brittany. Died 1090. 6. Matilda. (is not mentioned by any of the Chroniclers)

Allington Castle (Memorials of Old Kent. Ditchfield & Clinch. 1907) 
  
At the time of the Doomsday survey, the manor of Allington formed a part of the extensive possessions of Odo, Bishop of Baieux. After his downfall it was granted to William de Warenne, who was probably the builder of a normal type 'mount & Bailey' castle here. The position at the time must have been a strong one and of great importance being close to the river Medway, of which it commanded the passage and fords and overawe the town of Maidstone, which is about 2 miles distance. This Castle was slighted in 21 Henry II. (or 1175), when an entry in the pipe roll records a payment of 60 shillings to the Sheriff of Kent, 'in prosternendo castelli de Alintone' which can only refer to the overthrowing of the great mound of William de Warenne's castle. Towards the close of the reign of Henry III, the manor had passed into the hands of Sir Stephen de Penchester, Constable of Dover Castle and warden of the Cinque Ports. To whom, and his wife Margaret. Edward 1. In 1281 granted a licence to crenellate their 'house' of Alintone in Kent. 
The Term 'licence to crenellate' is somewhat obscure. The ordinary manor house of the early Middle ages was not furnished with any means of defence. Before it could be fortified, or turned into a castle, or a new castle be erected on its site, the royal permission to do so had to be obtained, and from the expression used therein it is known as a licence to crenelate, and runs generally as follows; 'Rex omnibus balliivis, et fidelibus suis ad quos, etc., ----- Say in commitatu Salop muro de petra, et calce, Firmare et Kernellare, et illud sic firmatum et kernell atum tenere possit sibi et heredibus suis imper etuum----'. To crenelate means to crown the summit of both walls and towers with battlements having alternate solid portions (called merlons) having spaces or intervals between them called embrasures or crenelles. 
Of the castle, as then reconstructed, there remain the enceinte wall of an enclosure of an irregular parallelogram form, having four D towers; a gatehouse with a segmental pointed arch, and a chase for a portcullis, opening between two solid towers of a D shape; a part of its covering barbican, a range of lodgings along the west side, and on the east side some remains of the great hall, with the triple doorways in the screens leading from the buttery, kitchen, and pantry. 
The castle was surrounded by a ditch about 65 feet wide, fed with water from the adjacent river; that on the west side may be all that remains of William de Warennes' castle, the great mound of earth which was on the south side. When it was levelled the great ditches would be filled up, and the banks thrown into them, as the readiest way of disposing of the material. All that now remains of the great mound is a low grassy hummock, part of which has been levelled and converted into a croquet lawn. 
From de Penchester the manor passed to the de Cobhams, Brents and Wyatts, the second of whom, the celebrated Sir Thomas, the elder who died in 1542, was the author of the famous anagram, "Wyatt of Wit", a courtier, and favourite of Henry VIII; he was a poet and a statesman. 
His son, the second Sir Thomas, having headed a rebellion in 1554 against the marriage of Queen Mary with that other gloomy bigot, Philip of Spain, was after its failure tried and executed for high treason, and his estates were forfeited to the crown. In 1569 Queen Elizabeth granted them to John Astley, Master of the Jewel House, in whose family they remained until, in 1720 they were alienated to the family of Marsham, the head of which, Lord Romney, finally passed the property to the Best family. 
 
ADDITIONAL NOTES BY J H WYATT Dec 1966 
  
Additional information and description of the Castle will be found in the "Guide to Allington Castle" issued by the present owners. 
Hasted states that the castle was originally a Saxon Stronghold against the Danes; and afterwards passed to Odo Bishop of Bayeux, half brother of William the Conqueror, at the Norman invasion in 1066, and it is under his title that it is described in Doomsday. 
"The Best family neglected the castle, so that it became a miserable ruin covered with ivy" Ibid 
Allington Castle was purchased by Sir Henry Wyatt in 1492 and restored it. Henry VIII and Wolsey visited him there. It remained in the family for 62 years, till 1554 when, as the property of Sir Thomas Wyatt (the younger 1503-1554) it was confiscated by the Crown for treason. 
To Sir Henry Wyatt, or his son, the first Sir Thomas, are probably due the porch of the great hall, and several large windows inserted in various parts which have probably replaced small and inconvenient loopholes of the earlier period. A notable feature about the thirteenth century buildings is the original brickwork forming part of the windows and doorways; the bricks which are of a light colour, having been made to fit the jams in many places. The castle underwent further alterations towards the close of the sixteenth century, to which period may be assigned the drum tower at the outer extremity of an enclosure on the north front, between the caste and the river, of which only this tower and portions of two thin wall now remain. 
Allington was one of the seven "Chief castles of Kent": these are Allington, Canterbury, Dover, Leeds, Rochester, Saltwood and Tonbridge. 
Ditchfield and Clinch, 1907 
In 1905 the Castle was acquired by Martin Conway, (Lord Conway), and the work of restoration was his life's work for 25 years. He spent £70,000 on its restoration. He made the castle "akind of casket" to contain works of art and objects of archaeological interest which he had collected on his many travels. "Many of these were built into the walls" (Castle Guide). Unfortunately in the process of "restoring" the castle to make room for the installation of his own possessions, practically all traces of the Wyatt family were removed. 
  
The Carmelte Order of monks had its chief Friary at Aylesford, on the opposite side of the river Medway, facing Allington Castle. The Carmelite order is an order of mendicates they have no income whatsoever, and are bound to live on alms. At the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 by Henry VIII, the Carmelte Order withdrew from England. 
411 years later, in 1949, they returned to England from Italy, to restore and re-occupy their original Friary at Aylesford and in 1950 on March 25th its first prior, Father Malachy purchased the castle on behalf of the Carmelite Order for £15,000 from Mr Horsfield, Lord Conways' son-in-law, husband of the late Agnes Conway.

  
The Castle now has Friar Malachy as its warden, and the building is now used as a religious retreat and holiday centre for those wishing to make a temporary retreat from the hustle of the modern world and a quiet period of restful seclusion and contemplation. To accommodate these visitors a floor has been put in the barn and the lofty roof retiled. Plans are projected for building a hostel in the grounds for additional visitors. 
The money for the purchase of the Castle was subscribed from outside sources and by anonymous donors; and "Friends of Allington Castle" now maintain the building.

THE WYATT FAMILY (Reference section)

1.Adam Wyotte c1320 - 1385. 
  
Of Yorkshire, the first mentioned Wyatt in the Roger Twysden Roll. This is borne out by references in the pipe rolls, the assize Rolls and other ancient records of the 14th & 15th centuries. 
Roger Twysden, ancestor of the present Earl of Romney and present Sir William Twysden. The pedigree of Henry Wyatt shows 5 generations back to Adam Wyot, who lived in the middle of the 14th Century (See Page 12). The early Wyots were settled near Tickhill in the West Riding of Yorkshire and in Beighton, Southwest of Sheffield but just over the border in Derbyshire. His maternal forbears, the Bayliffes, of whom two generations married Yorkshire Wyots, hailed from Barnsley, north of Sheffield, where they were small squires entitled to bear arms, as were the Wyots. 
The Twysden Roll contained the pedigrees and the arms of Twysden, Wyatt, Scott (a member of which family had married a sister Anne Wyatt) as well as the Pedigree and arms of the family of Elizabeth Woodville, the Queen of Edward IV, whose Aunt (also named Elizabeth Woodville) had married in about 1430, William Haute, an ancestor of the wife of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the younger. 
The Hautes of Bishopsbourne and Wavering Manor in Kent, who were neighbours of the Wyatts of Allington, were an important local family. When the Haute male line became extinct in 1530, Jane Haute, one of her father's co-heiresses, took the Wavering manor to the Wyatts. 
1530 Visitation makes no mention of pedigree. At the "Visitation" in 1619 the pedigree presented was that of Roger Twysden, as presented in 1578, who had married Ann, a daughter of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the younger, and included in the "Twysden Roll"

Sir Henry Wyatt






7. Sir Henry Wyatt (1260 - 1536) 
  
Henry Wyatt was a young cadet of the Lancastrian house, the youngest son of a Yorkshire squire of Southange in Yorkshire. He sided with Henry Richmond and for his loyalty to Richmond was imprisoned and tortured. Thus he became the 'Hero of the cat'. 'Had kept him in stocks and irons'. The incident is recorded in the 'Wiat MSS' which is still in the possession of Lord Romney (1967). It says, (from Sir Henry's son Thomas,) 
'He was imprisoned often; once in a cold narrow tower, where he had neither a bed to lie on, nor cloaths sufficient to warm him, nor meat for his mouth; he starved there had not God, who sent a Crow to feed his prophet; sent this his country's master, a Cat, both to feed him and to warm him ----------- it was his own relation from whom I had it -------- A cat came one day down into the dungeon unto him, and, as it were, offered herself unto him, he was glad of her, laid her in his bosome to warm him, and making much of her, won her love. After this she would come every day unto him in diverse times, and when she could get him one, bring him a pigeon; he complained to the keeper of his cold and short fare; the answer was, he durst not better it; but said Sir Henry, 'If I can provide any, will you promise to dress it for me?'. 'I may well enough' said the Keeper, 'are you safe for that matter' and for him from time to time such pigeons as his Acater (caterer) the cat, provided for him. Sir Henry in his prosperity would never make much of a cat, and perhaps you will never find a picture of him anywhere, but with a cat beside him. 
'When the Usurper had fallen on Bosworth field, one of the first acts of Henry VII was to liberate Henry and raise him from the private gentleman to the highest honours at Court. He made him a Knight at his Coronation July 23rd 1509'
THE BARNACLE 
  
'Besides his imprisonment's, he was in diverse times put into diverse kinds of torture, among others, with an instrument made like a smiths barnacles ---- in witness of his torment, Sir Henry Wyat in certain carpets of his, which I have seen, caused in his arms there, the image of the barnacle to be wrought' 
(Note by another hand) 
There used to be half length portrait of Henry in his cell, showing a cat dragging a pigeon through the grating of the cell. The painting is not contemporary but produced long afterwards. The pigeons at Allington Castle are brown pigeons imported originally from Venice.
7. Sir Henry Wyatt. (1260 - 1536) 
  
Sir Henry Wyatt was imprisoned in Scotland for two years or more by Richard III.: ' on one occasion after Sir Henry had submitted to his torture (i.e. the barnacle) his descendants inform us that he was 'examined' by Richard III. 'Wyatt' said the Tyrant, 'Why art thou such a fool? Thou servest for moonshine in the water. Thy master is a beggarly fugitive. Forsake him and become mine, I can reward thee, and I swear unto thee I will.' 'Sire' was the answer, 'If I had first chosen you for my master, thus faithful would I have been to you, if you should have needed it; but the Earl, poor and unhappy though he be, is my master, and no discouragement or allurement shall ever drive mee from him by God's grace'. When the Standard of the fugitive Earl floated on the field of Bosworth, Wyatt found means to join it. Sir Henry was made Knight Banneret for his services at the Battle of Spurs in 1515; and was present at the Field of Cloth of Gold' . 
He married Ann Skinner, late in life, in 1502. He bought Allington Castle from the trustees of Robert Gainsford in 1292. The castle was in bad repair, and Henry Wyatt and his son made extensive alterations. They put in large Tudor windows, erected a fine porch, a ladies bower, a new fire place , a long gallery, a new kitchen and a new staircase. Camden ascribes the credit of these alterations to Thomas Wyatt, but most of them seem to have been carried out by his father. 
Henry applied for a new grant of Arms in January 1507/8. The grant by Garter was made on the grounds simply that he was descended form the House of Blood and name of the Wyatts' He was a privy councillor and may not have been called upon by Garter to produce a pedigree any more than his acquaintances Cardinal Wolsey or Thomas Cromwell when they applied for Armorial Bearings which they had not inherited. 
In 1283 he became involved, as a stout Lancastrian in the Duke of Buckingham's unsuccessful revolt in the West Country in favour of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who was then in Brittany awaiting possible developments. In consequence Henry Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower during the two years of the reign of Richard III, on whose orders he is said to have been tortured. He was only released on the death of King Richard and the accession of Henry VII. 
"Procured his possessions to be changed from the nature of Gavelkind" 
" Sir Henry Wyatt, of Haigh"

Presumed that Thomas (the elder) still retained affection for Anne Boleyn. Seventeen years after his marriage, the then Lord Cobham, (Elizabeth’s brother) wrote complaining that Thomas Wyatt still refused to make any financial provision for his wife. He was highly intelligent, witty , fearless of speech to the point of indiscretion, impulsive and unsteady, spoilt by an admiring father and friends. 
1521. Made Esquire of the Body (Kings personal Bodyguard)

After 3 days illness he died and died of pneumonia and was buried in the great Church at Sherborne, exact whereabouts unknown, but it has been surmised that it was in the Horsey Tomb as he died in the house of his great friend Sir John Horsey, whom he had known through having extensive estates in Dorset and Somerset. A brilliant proud, impetuous man, who made enemies as easily as he made friends. 
11. Sir Thomas Wyatt. 1503 - 1542 (the elder) 
‘Kept a lions whelp and an Irish greyhound at the castle, and made playmates of them --- at last the lions whelp grew in courage and became dangerous. It flew at its young master and must inevitably have destroyed him, but for the greyhound, who leapt on its back, pulled him down: when Wyatt coolly drew his rapier and slew the whelp. 
The story being repeated to Henry VIII he observed --- ‘Oh, he can tame lions’ ----‘ Besides his love songs, almost he earliest in the language, he produced a metrical version of the psalms of David and deserved a distinguished position among the fathers of English poetry. He resided much at Allington Castle, where he wrote much of his poetry and which he repaired ‘with the most beautiful buildings’ ‘This makes me at home to hunt and hawk; And in foul weather at my book to sit; In frost and snow then with my bow to stalk; No man doth mark whereso I ride or go In lusty leas at liberty I walk And of these mews I feel nor weal nor woe’ Roger Ascham declares that ‘he was one of the best translators of the Latin poets of the age in which he lived’. his fame rests chiefly on his poetry and diplomacy; his early friendship with the accomplished Earl of Surrey, doubtless helping him to stimulate his poetic tastes and give him a status in the literary world. Henry’s court was a sophisticated centre of music, literature and learning. By far the best poet was Wyatt, with the Earl of Surrey, both of whom had travelled in Italy and there heard the stately measures of Dante, Aristo and Petrach. 
They had greatly polished the rude and homely manner of their vulgar poesie’ INSCRIPTION ON THE TOMB OF SIR JOHN HORSEY, SHERBORNE ABBEY, DORSET ‘In memory of SIR THOMAS WIATT, poet and statesman, who died at Clifton, Maybank, the house of a friend, Sir John Horsey, 11 Oct 1542, and is buried in the vault of this chapel. ‘Wiat resteth here; that quick would never rest.’ 
From Henry VIII by John Bowle. Anne Boleyn was appointed at about the age of 22 as Lady-in-waiting to the Queen, Catherine of Aragon. At Court Anne had a flirtation with Sir Thomas Wyatt, but realised Henry VIII’s intentions she broke it off. Sir Thomas wrote her a sonnet complaining of the broken affair. Later, after Anne became Queen, Cromwell became estranged from his Boleyn patrons who were hindering an understanding with Charles V, and decided she must go. He had her spied upon and a secret commission was set up. She was suddenly accused of treason, adultery and incest. The indictment - or frame up - alleged, with dates, that over the past three years she has procured five men to "violate her". The accused included her brother George Rochford; Sir Francis Weston, of the King’s privy Chamber; and Mark Smeaton, a musician; Sir Henry Norris, Squire of Kings Bodyguard; William Brereton, of Cheshire. Though all denied the charges they were found guilty and executed, much of the evidence being secured under torture. The King, always suspicious, also had Sir Thomas Wyatt arrested. He was bound and fettered and marched to the Tower, by Archers of the King’s Bodyguard, "No one dare say a word for him". When arrested Wyatt replied "the King well knows what I told him before he was married". He was later released at the request of Queen Catherine "on condition that he take back his wife from whom he had been separated fifteen years" but only to die at Sherborne the following year returning from Falmouth, where he had met envoys from the Emperor. As a boy, Wyatt made the acquaintance of Anne Boleyn, and long after the date of his marriage was regarded as her lover. 
His relations with her continued close until her favours were sought by Henry VIII, then it is said that he frankly confessed to Henry the character of his intimacy with Anne and warned Henry against marrying a woman of blemished character. These arms appear in the background of a reproduction of a portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt, (the elder) by Holbein in the National Portrait Gallery. As the reproduction is in black and white the tinctures do not show. In 1541 Bishop Bonner of London, jealous of Wyatt and anxious to take his place as Ambassador accused Wyatt of Lutheran sympathies, and Wyatt was arrested and sent to the Tower. After a short while and apparently no formal trial he was released by intervention of Catherine Howard, whose mother was a Culpepper and neighbour of Wyatt in Kent. ‘ 
On March 19th when Queen Catherine sailed up the Thames to Greenwich with the King and Civic dignitaries she took occasion and courage to entreat the King for release of Master Wyatt, which petition the King granted though on rather hard terms, the first of them being that the said Wyatt should confess his guilt for which he had been arrested; and secondly that he was to resume conjugal relations with his wife from whom he had been separated for upwards of fifteen years. Wyatt had cast her away on account of adultery, and had not seen her for many years; he will now be obliged to receive her, and should he not do so, and not lead a conjugal life with her, or should he be found to keep up adulterous relations with one or two other ladies that he has since lived with, he is to suffer pain of death and confiscation of property" 
On March 27th Wyatt was again with the King at Dover and by April 10th was employed again being made captain of 300 light cavalry who were to protect Calais until the new fortifications were built, and there were soon proofs of the Kings’ complete trust in him. At this time Wyatt was described by Marillac, (the Spanish Ambassador) ‘as one of the richest gentleman in England, having an income from his patrimony of six to seven thousand ducats a year.’ Leland described him as "tall in stature, with powerful muscles and sinews. His abundant hair was golden in youth, which he lost by degrees, and became bald, but there grew up instead a thick growth of his long beard." He wrote 250 poems in additions to the Penitential Psalms, and is considered the best poet between Chaucer and Spencer. Married Elizabeth Brooks 1520 daughter of Thomas, Lord Cobham. His son Thomas, (the younger) born 1521, and a daughter Ann before they were separated, the assumed cause of which was the unfaithfulness of his wife. 
In 1534 Wyatt was involved in an affray with the sergeant of London one of whom killed. Wyatt was imprisoned in Fleet prison but released after one month. It is assumed that Elizabeth Darrell was his mistress when she was a member of the Exeter household, and who was afterwards alleged a traitor. In 1540 Following the execution of Cromwell, Wyatt retired to Allington; Elizabeth Darrell, Lady Poynings, Wyatt’s son and daughter-in-law; were also there. Later he was arrested as a friend of Cromwell and concerned in his treason, on the instigation of Wyatt’s rival Bishop Bonner of London. 1541 June 12th, Wyatt made his will bequeathing land in Dorset and Somerset to Elizabeth Darrell. Presumed he was buried in the Horsey Tomb 1543.

He was later released at the request of Queen Catherine "on condition that he take back his wife from whom he had been separated fifteen years" but only to die at Sherborne the following year returning from Falmouth, where he had met envoys from the Emperor. 
As a boy, Wyatt made the acquaintance of Anne Boleyn, and long after the date of his marriage was regarded as her lover.  His relations with her continued close until her favours were sought by Henry VIII, then it is said that he frankly confessed to Henry the character of his intimacy with Anne and warned Henry against marrying a woman of blemished character. 
These arms appear in the background of a reproduction of a portrait of Sir Thomas Wyatt, (the elder) by Holbein in the National Portrait Gallery. As the reproduction is in black and white the tinctures do not show. 
In 1541 Bishop Bonner of London, jealous of Wyatt and anxious to take his place as Ambassador accused Wyatt of Lutheran sympathies, and Wyatt was arrested and sent to the Tower. After a short while and apparently no formal trial he was released by intervention of Catherine Howard, whose mother was a Culpepper and neighbour of Wyatt in Kent. 
‘ On March 19th when Queen Catherine sailed up the Thames to Greenwich with the King and Civic dignitaries she took occasion and courage to entreat the King for release of Master Wyatt, which petition the King granted though on rather hard terms, the first of them being that the said Wyatt should confess his guilt for which he had been arrested; and secondly that he was to resume conjugal relations with his wife from whom he had been separated for upwards of fifteen years. Wyatt had cast her away on account of adultery, and had not seen her for many years; he will now be obliged to receive her, and should he not do so, and not lead a conjugal life with her, or should he be found to keep up adulterous relations with one or two other ladies that he has since lived with, he is to suffer pain of death and confiscation of property" On March 27th Wyatt was again with the King at Dover and by April 10th was employed again being made captain of 300 light cavalry who were to protect Calais until the new fortifications were built, and there were soon proofs of the Kings’ complete trust in him. 
At this time Wyatt was described by Marillac, (the Spanish Ambassador) ‘as one of the richest gentleman in England, having an income from his patrimony of six to seven thousand ducats a year.’ 
Leland described him as "tall in stature, with powerful muscles and sinews. His abundant hair was golden in youth, which he lost by degrees, and became bald, but there grew up instead a thick growth of his long beard." 
He wrote 250 poems in additions to the Penitential Psalms, and is considered the best poet between Chaucer and Spencer. 
Married Elizabeth Brooks 1520 daughter of Thomas, Lord Cobham. His son Thomas, (the younger) born 1521, and a daughter Ann before they were separated, the assumed cause of which was the unfaithfulness of his wife. 
In 1534 Wyatt was involved in an affray with the sergeant of London one of whom killed. Wyatt was imprisoned in Fleet 
prison but released after one month. It is assumed that Elizabeth Darrell was his mistress when she was a member of the 
Exeter household, and who was afterwards alleged a traitor. 
In 1540 Following the execution of Cromwell, Wyatt retired to Allington; Elizabeth Darrell, Lady Poynings, Wyatt’s son and daughter-in-law; were also there. Later he was arrested as a friend of Cromwell and concerned in his treason, on the instigation of Wyatt’s rival Bishop Bonner of London. 
1541 June 12th, Wyatt made his will bequeathing land in Dorset and Somerset to Elizabeth Darrell. Presumed he was buried in the Horsey Tomb 1543.

Tradition says that a son of Sir Thomas Wyatt took refuge with the Rector after his father (17) was executed. Slindon is on the A39 near Arundel. 
52 Richard 1554 - 1619 
Son of Robert of Slindon (50) was apprenticed to a Roger Shears, the then Master of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters in London. Richard married his master’s daughter Margaret and in due course became himself Master of the Carpenters Company and a wealthy man. He was buried in Isleworth Church where there is a monument to his memory, showing a coat of arms "Gules on a fesse Or, between three boars heads couped Argent a lion passant between two pheons Sable" This similar but not identical with the arms of Sir Henry Wyatt of Kent (7).

Sister of Thomas (11) 1536 Accompanied Ann Boleyn to the scaffold on May 9th, and received from her "her little prayer book, set in gold enamelled black which she long preserved as a precious relic". (Ireland History). At her execution Ann Boleyn went to the block dressed in black damask and was said never to have looked more beautiful. One of her attendants was Anne Wyatt, to who she was seen to whisper something as she knelt. A message she sent earlier on her execution day no one dared to mention to the King. Ann’s message to Henry VIII through Anne Wyatt was "Commend me to his Majesty, and tell him he has ever been constant in his career of advancing me. From a private gentlewoman he made me a marchioness, from a marchioness a queen. And now he has left me no higher degree of honour, he gives me my innocence the crown of martyrdom." (N B Morrison) 
17. Sir Thomas Wyatt (the younger) 1521-1554 (Click here for Picture) 
Son of Sir Thomas the Elder Married at 16 
1521 Born Allington Castle, was a devout Catholic all his life. His parents were already estranged, his father         rarely at home, being either abroad on the King’s business or at Court. 
1536 At 15 appointed Esquire of the Body, to Henry VIII and Joint Constable of Conysborough Castle (Yorkshire) post previously held by father and grandfather. 
1537 Barely 16 married Jane Haute, daughter and co-heiress of Sir William Haute of Bishopsbourne, Kent. She bore him 10 children, of whom 3 married and left issue. Of these, Anna, married Roger Twysden. 
1538 Elizabeth Darral, became Thomas’ mistress and bore him a son, Francis Darral Wyatt, in 1540. 
1542 On death of his father succeeded to vast estates, titles and father’s debts to the King, which he redeemed by sale of property for £3,700. 
1543 Inherited his father’s estates, which were heavily encumbered with debts, so that he was obliged to sell part of the estates to pay them. He then settled the estate of Tarrant, in Dorset on Francis Darrell. His portrait shows him age 32. 
1543-50 Served as volunteer in wars against France and given command of troops. During this period Henry VIII died, succeeded by his son Edward VI. When Wyatt returned to England he took no part in public affairs. 
1545 Was in London with Surrey and a band of boon companions and went roistering noisily along narrow, dark, stinking unlit streets of the city, breaking expensive precious glass windows of citizens houses and damaging ecclesiastical glass windows. They were brought to trial before the dreaded Privy Council, charging with acts of violence and in addition to "eating meat in Lent". There seems little doubt that they were not altogether sober when the offences were committed. It was known that they were in the habit of frequenting a "house" kept by Mistress Arundel, and she came to their aid at the trial. The three young men were sent to prison in the Poultry but was later removed to the Tower. When released he volunteered to join the English contingent fighting in alliance with Charles V of Spain in Flanders. It was there that he came to dislike the Spaniards. He was a most successful soldier, showing courage, initiative and ability to command. He was wounded on one occasion; was given command of 1000 footmen; and later made Commander of the fortress of Boulogne; serving seven years 
abroad. Earlier he took part in the earlier uprising by the Duke of Northumberland, to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne. After his war service he retired to Allington as a country gentleman. 
1547 Knighted 
1553 He received an invitation from Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon to a secret meeting in London, following rumours that Mary intended to marry Philip of Spain. 
1554 On Queen Mary’s (an RC) intention to marry Philip of Spain though this would bring England under Roman Catholic and Spanish influence. Invited friends to Allington Castle, got their support, raised 4000 men in Maidstone, and marched on London in a rebellion in favour of placing Lady Jane Grey, a Protestant and descendent of Henry VIII, on the throne. Arrived at Blackheath end of January and entered London a week later. Opposition then organised, his supporters faded away, Wyatt taken to the Tower as a traitor. Attained, beheaded 11 April 1554 age 33. Lady Jane Grey beheaded the day before. 
  
  


THE WYATT REBELLION - 1554


  
  
  
The Wyatt Rebellion of 1554 aimed at preventing the marriage of Queen Mary and Philip of Spain. 
A charming little picture of the home of the Wyatts of Allington is painted by Lord Tennyson in the following lines which are supposed to have been spoken by Sir Thomas Wyatt just before setting out for London 
"Ah, gray old castle of allington, green filed Beside the brimming meadow That I shall never look upon you more" Queen Mary. Act 11: Sc1 
News of the Queen’s intention to marry Philip of Spain leaked out well before the official announcement on Jan 14th and there were general manifestations of displeasure all over the country - many people Catholics and Protestants, feared England would be dominated by Spain, as had already happened in the Low Countries: to Milanese, the Neapolitans, the Sicilians and the people of the Indies. 
The conspirators first met at the town house of the Duke of Suffolk, who had already been implicated in the attempt to place his daughter, Lady Jane Grey, on the throne following the death of Edward VI. Among the conspirators were the three brothers of Suffolk and Sir Edmund Warner, the brother-in-law of Lord Cobham, Sir Thomas Wyatt’s step father. They chose Edward Courtenay, the Earl of Devon and a rejected suitor of Queen Mary, as the figurehead; the object being to depose Mary and make Elizabeth Queen in her stead with Courtenay as her prospective husband. Courtenay was a vain, self seeking untrustworthy popinjay. Wyatt was not invited to the meetings until the third one, where it was agreed that Wyatt should raise Kent; Courtenay, Devonshire; Sir James Croft, the region of the Severn; and Suffolk and his brothers, Warwickshire, Leicestershire and the Midlands. When ready the four contingents should march on London. As Courtenay had farthest to march he was to rise first and the others in due course so as to converge on London together. 
The French Ambassador, De Noailles, promised French support as soon as the rebellion was seen to be strongly backed by the people, in the form of cash, equipment and troops. An Army under Visdame would land on the East coast of Scotland and both Calais and Guienne in France should be attacked. Wyatt is known to have corresponded with De Noailles. 
The concerted rising was fixed to start on March 18th. 
Carew, at the time about 39 years old, was a reckless, garrulous, turbulent, indiscreet character, and by his rash and precipitate actions was largely instrumental in bringing about the complete failure of the Devon rising. The weakling Courtenay was afraid to journey to Devon and remained at Court. When Courtenay failed to arrive Carew lost his head and set up his standard. Stephen Gardiner, Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor, through is spies heard rumours and called Courtenay to an interview; subjected him to a powerful and searching cross-examination, and extracted from the vainglorious earl, a good deal, if not all, of the details of the conspiracy. Carew and his friends the Gibbs had lived at Court, were very little known, and were unpopular in Devon. Their appeal met with indifference. The local leaders took panic and fled. The difficulties of Winter travel and the remoteness of Devonshire prevented the conspirators in London from discovering that Carew had abandoned them, though they did learn of Courtenay’s treachery. 
Losing no time Wyatt left London for Allington. He had not intended to raise Kent so soon but realised that speed was now essential. The decisive step was taken on Jan 21st. Wyatt called his relatives, friends and neighbours to a meeting at Allington Castle on Jan 22nd. These included Robert Rudstone, of Boughton Mounches, Sir Henry Isley, of Sundridge and Farningham, Henry and Thomas Vane (or Fane) of Tonbridge, George and Thomas Cobham, sons of Lord Cobham, of Cowling Castle, cousins of Wyatt, Sir George Harper, of Chart, Walter Mantell, of Canterbury, Edward Wyatt, his natural son, and others. After a long and full discussion the assembly agreed that the insurrection should take place on Thursday Jan 25th. Wyatt sent a letter with the details to the Duke of Suffolk, but it was intercepted by Government Agents. 
Thursday Jan 25th was market day at Maidstone, the church bells were rung, drums were beaten and a proclamation was read out. The proclamation was also read out in other Kentish towns, including Melford, Malling, Ashford and Milton Regis. The Mayor of Canterbury remained loyal to Mary, so did Rochester. Recruits began to assemble at Penenden Heath, Boxley, but the great rallying point was Maidstone. Wyatt collected 1500 men with a promise of 5000 at a later date. He then decided to raise his standard formally at Rochester, after capturing the town. He had made admirable preparations, and guns and ammunition had been stealthily got ready by his agents in London. Officers and men of the fleet, together with their guns, came over to him at Rochester where the city capitulated without opposition. Wyatt took care not to assume the appearance of a dictator, his  roclamations being signed by Harper and Anthony Knevett, as well as himself. He lingered a day at Rochester 
waiting for troops from Tonbridge and parts of the West Country that did not arrive. The Kentish contingent had diverted its route to attack Penshurst then moved on to Tonbridge where however the support was lukewarm, while Sevenoaks and Malling declared for the Queen. Sir Robert Southwell, Sheriff of Kent, gathered men and arms and met Sir Henry Isley and the Knevetts with their contingent of rebels at Wrotham Hill and routed them in an ambush. 
The King of France was known to be preparing eighty ships to land eighteen companies of foot soldiers in England, and the French Ambassador, De Noailles, was being closely watched. A messenger he was sending to France, was first shadowed to Rochester, where he had an interview with Wyatt, then as soon as he left the town, was intercepted by men disguised as rebels. In reality they belonged to Lord Cobham and the dispatches were transferred to Bishop Gardiner in London, who had secretly promised him a pardon if he would change sides. Cobham was one of the most treacherous and detestable characters of the period. 
Norfolk was about to attack Wyatt entrenched in Rochester when 500 of his "whitecoats" with cries of "A Wyatt A Wyatt, we are all Englishmen" changed sides. With them went Brett and Sir George Harper back to Wyatt. The Duke with his remaining forces fled leaving guns treasure and baggage. All the Londoners went over to Wyatt. 
On Jan 30th Wyatt left Rochester, (diverting to Cowling Castle 4 miles away to storm Lord Cobham’s castle which 
surrendered after a feeble pretence of resistance) and advanced on Gravesend with a force between two and three thousand men. Before setting out he allowed certain sick prisoners to buy what they needed and provide for themselves in Rochester on condition that they did not take advantage of his generosity and move onto London. It is on record that they lost no time in breaking their promises and reaching London. Wyatt made a fatal mistake in waiting two days, Wednesday and Thursday Jan 31st and Feb 1st , following his departure from Rochester. On reaching Dartford he paused to receive emissaries from Queen Mary. The best, though prejudiced account, of these discussions is given by John Proctor, master of Sir Andrew Judd’s School at Tonbridge. News then came that the Duke of Suffolk with the Midland contingent had been defeated. Suffolk was captured hiding in a hollow tree. 
This left Wyatt entirely alone. 
Nothing had been done to fortify London, until the Queen went to the city, when as the result of a passionate speech and fear that the rebels might sack London, the citizens united to defend the Capital. 
Wyatt now pressed on passing through Gravesend and Deptford to Southwark, where he spent a day and a night attempting unsuccessfully to get his guns and men across the Thames, as London Bridge had been cut. Wyatt decided to see for himself how well London Bridge was defended: "At eleven at night he caused the wall of a house adjoining the gatehouse of the bridge at the Southwark end to be stealthily broken down so that the flat leads over the gatehouse could be reached. He then climbed onto the roof itself. With a handful of men he climbed over the parapet onto the gatehouse roof, prised open a window and went down a winding staircase, only to find when he reached the ground floor that they were in the living room of the gatehouse keeper’s lodge, with the keeper and his family sitting round the fire. Wyatt signed to them to keep still and silent if they valued their lives. They then proceeded onto the bridge itself only to find a complete span had been demolished and guns posted covering the open space between the broken ends. Wyatt perceived the impossibility of a direct attack on the bridge and withdrew as he had come" 
On Feb 6th, a wet and dark day, it was decided to leave Southwark and try to cross the river at Kingston. Owing to the rain the roads were a mass of mire, dung and great water-filled pits. It took the rebels ten hours to cover ten miles. Their guns, on improvised wooden carriages moved heavily, hauled by mules and dispirited men pulling on ropes, but inspite of every difficulty they crossed at 11pm, leaving Kingston behind them they came to the flat marshy lands of Brentford, rain continued heavily and men began to desert, including many "whitecoats". At Turham Green the naval gun carriages broke down and the guns rolled off into the mud. The rebels were brought to a halt and valuable time was lost trying to retrieve them. In the confusion, Harper again defected, escaped to London and betrayed Wyatt’s plan. The rebels proceeded over Sandford Bridge, down Acton Road into the village of Knightsbridge. 
When it was know in the city that Wyatt was at Knightsbridge the drums were sounded at 3am in the morning and all fighting men were told to go to Charing Cross. By 8am more than ten thousand were ready waiting for Wyatt to advance, with guns pointing towards the rebels. Since Wyatt had chosen to attack the city, he was not able to extend his battle front as he drew near to the city gates. It was therefore decided to avoid a head on clash and to attack the flanks and trap him against the closed and guarded gates. Between 8 and 9am he was less that half a mile from the bridge by the "Spitalhouse", (hospital) a little west of Camden House. The rain stopped and it became a bright cold day. Between 1 and 2pm he came to Hyde Park Corner, then an open field, and moved in the direction of Fleet Street and Ludgate. Three of his officers, the Knevetts and Cuthbert took a lane leading through Tothill to Westminster. The main body marched along Pall Mall towards the open spaces of Charing Cross, up the Strand and into Fleet Street to reach Ludgate. Courtenay, the original figure head of the rebellion was with the Queen’s men at Charing Cross, and on seeing the rebels approach, set off in flight to Whitehall. 
As Wyatt’s rain sodden men came marching up Fleet Street a column of 300 men-at-arms of the Royal Force came down the street on the other side, and the two bands passed one another in silence. As he advanced with his men barricades were erected behind him, and at each road intersection bodies of men were placed to prevent escape down side streets. Not till the trap had been completed did Pembroke, the Queen’s Commander, show his hand. Half of Wyatt’s men had passed through and beyond Charing Cross when the cavalry charged from both sides, cutting Wyatt’s column into two pieces. Most of the officers were in the van and they struggled on determined to reach Ludgate. As they drew near they burst out with their battle cry "A Wyatt! A Wyatt!" Knevetts force now attempted to rejoin the main body at Charing Cross, but found the way blocked by the Queen’s archers and were routed. Knevett and other officers hacked their way through and galloped up the Strand to join their Commander at Ludgate. 
Ludgate was an extremely old gate, its walls six feet thick and they defied assault, (it was pulled down in 1586). Walking up to the gate, Wyatt knocked heavily and demanded to be admitted. However, Howard the Lord Admiral had already secured control of the gate with a force of the Queen’s men and refused to open it. Wyatt replied "I have kept touch" meaning that he had kept his word to his London friends by reaching the gate on the appointed day. It was now up to those inside the city to force a passage for him, but there was no sound of revolt from within. Adjoining Ludgate Hill was the tavern know as "La Belle Sauvage" a coaching house; Wyatt entered the courtyard and sat down on a bench, with only a handful of men left. His rearguard was cut off and dispersed and he had no means of forcing the gate. He decided to retreat and with only 60 men turned back to Charing Cross. At Temple Bar a powerful contingent engaged him. The savage contest lasted an hour, when a herald called upon him to stop, shouting out "Perchance ye may yet find the Queen merciful, the rather if ye stint so the loss of so great a bloodshed as is like to be". Wyatt interpreted this as a promise of pardon but the herald had no authority to offer such things. Just then Sir Maurice Berkeley came up entirely unarmed and added his persuasion to that of the herald. He received Wyatt’s sword and Wyatt was mounted up behind him. The Knevetts, Alexander Brett and young Cobham also surrendered and were carried by other gentlemen up behind them, on their horses. All were taken to the Privy Council at Westminster, and then by barge to the Tower. Chroniclers record that Wyatt was wearing ‘a shirt of mail with sleeves very fair, and over it a velvet cassock and a yellow lace, with the windlace (strap) of his dagger hanging on it. His boots were equipped with spurs and he wore a good hat of velvet decorated with broad bonework lace, (i.e. lace plaited by means of bone bobbins on a pillow). Knevett, Cobham and Brett also wore shirts of mail and velvet coats. 
Many of the prisoners taken that day were locked up in the prisons at Marshalsea, the King’s Bench and the Tower, but there was not room for all of them and many were lodged in churches, crowded together waiting till gallows could be erected for their hanging. On Feb 9th Wyatt was joined in the Tower by George Cobham, Lord Cobham, Anthony Knevett, Hugh Booth, Thomas Fane, Sir George Harper, and the small youth Edward Wyatt, bastard son of the rebel leader whom Bishop Gardiner afterwards referred to as "one little Wyatt who might be usefully interrogated, (presumably on the rack) to see if he knew anything of his father relations with Princess Elizabeth". Gardiners exact words to Sir William Petre, Governor to the Tower, were: "Whether ye press him to say the truth by sharp punishment or promise of life". Leaders from other groups joined them, the Duke of Suffolk, Sir James Croft, Sir Henry Isley, Sir Gawer Carew, the two Culpeppers, Cromer and Thomas Rampton. Conditions in the Tower were so crowded that the churchmen, Cramner, Ridley and Latimer had to share the same cell. 
Every member of the Grey and Dudley families was in the Tower expecting the death penalty. Both Gardiner and Renard insisted that the Queen should show no mercy, and death was the sentence for any harbouring a rebel, with the result that hundreds were handed over by tavern keepers and the like. 
Courtenay was sent to the Tower on Feb 9th and on the 10th the prisoners concerned in the rebellion were arraigned; 42 Kentish men were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. By the eve of Thursday from eighty to a hundred bodies were swinging at the gates of the city; even St Paul’s Churchyard had its dangling bodies. De Noailles wrote to his master "every cross road presented the horrid spectacle of suspended humans corpses". Lord Dudley, Jane Grey’s husband, was beheaded on the 12th at Tower Hill, and Lady Jane Grey immediately afterwards on Tower Green. Wyatt himself witnessed her execution from the window of his cell in the White Tower. A great batch was dealt with on the 13th; two were gibbeted at Cheapside, one quartered at Aldgate, three hanged at Leadenhall one was hanged and quartered at Newgate, three were hanged at Holborn, three at Bermondsey Street, three at St George’s, for at Charing Cross. On the 14th more rebels were put to death. The bodies were left hanging for twenty four hours and were not cut down till the following morning. Afterwards their remains were sent to Newgate, there par boiled, quartered, and the heads and bodies hanged over the gate. The terrible slaughter went on throughout the 15th. At Westminster, ten of Wyatt’s chief men were condemned to be 
hanged, drawn and quartered. On the 16th Brett and twenty other prisoners were carried into Kent by Sir Robert Southwell, as sheriff, and housed at Maidstone Jail, until they were hanged at Maidstone, Rochester or Sevenoaks. Maidstone lost its Charter which was not restored until 1559 by Elizabeth. On the 17th The Duke of Suffolk was beheaded, and on the 19th Thomas Cobham and little Edward Wyatt were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. There seemed no end to the revenge. 
Lord Cobham, lucky as ever, had been released with Sir William Cobham and George Cobham on the intercession of Count d’Egmont. 
Wyatt himself was arraigned on March 14th, before the Lord Chief Justice, together with Sir Edward Hastings and Master  Bourne the Queen’s secretary. A complete record of this trial exists. Every effort was made, including the use of the rack, to make Wyatt implicate Elizabeth. Even his wife was sent for and promised his life if she would use her power to make him confess what they wished but he refused to implicate her. He was sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. He was subjected to fresh tortures after the trial in the hope of wringing from him an admission of Elizabeth’s guilt and he was not brought from the Tower for execution until April 11th, when he was taken to Tower Hill. The scaffold was about five feet high, draped in black, the floor covered with straw. The block stood ready and close by a basket half full of sawdust. Wyatt made the allowed last speech exonerating Elizabeth. Taking off his gown, he "untrussed his points" (unfastened the lace that secured his doublet) shook hands with the officials present, himself tied his own handkerchief over his eyes, and laid his head face downwards on the block. The masked executioner took of his head with a single stroke. Before quartering the body the executioner lifted the head and removed the handkerchief to show there had been no substitution. One quarter was hung at 
Mile End Green, the second at Newington, the third near St George’s Church, Southwark and the fourth besides St Thomas of Waterings. The head was placed upon a stake upon the gallows of High Hill. On the 17 April, six day after the execution, the head was stolen, presumably by friends. It was never found. 
Wyatt’s property was confiscated and shared among greedy nobles who frequented the court, though later Elizabeth restored Boxley to his eldest legitimate son, George. Allington Castle was given to Sir John Astley, Master of the Crown Jewels. Grant of Administration of a person dying intestate was granted in 1559 to John Bereford, of Middle Temple, Edward Warner, and Dame Elizabeth, (his wife, mother of no17) Canterbury repaired it walls against Wyatt and asked that the cost thereof might be deducted from the balance of funds from the sale of defunct church ornaments, but Mary refused and claimed all the money. 
During the rebellion only one mansion was sacked, what his supporters took they paid for, no prisoners were slaughtered. Some prisoners were released on parole which they promptly broke, the faint hearted supporters were allowed to go home unmolested. 
There were specific causes for the failure of Wyatt’s rising: 
The rash action of Sir Peter Carew in sparking off the rising before the time appointed. The treachery of Courtenay. The bad timing of the military operations. The delay on the march to London. The failures of the Duke of Suffolk and Sir James Croft The failures of the supporters inside London to secure the control of one of the City gates, in order to admit Wyatt. 
His execution was largely due to pressure by Bishop Gardiner and Simon Renard, Spanish Ambassador. His posthumous reputation was that of a martyr to the national cause. 
He left a widow (Jane Haute of Bishopsbourne) and FIVE children. 
George was the youngest, born only a few days before the Rebellion, (others say he was 4 years at the time). According to the Patent Rolls the others were: Henry, Charles, Arthur, Jane, Anne, Mary. 
From the "Guardian" December 3rd, 1968. 
Extra Notes on:- SIR THOMAS WYATT REBELLION From - Elizabeth - by Paul Johnson 1974. (Wiedenfield & 
Nicholson) 
The conspirators who first met on November 26th were not a homogeneous group. Only one, William Thomas, Clerk to the Privy Council under Edward VI was a strong Protestant. 
Sir William Carew, was a maritime adventurer. William Winter, former surveyor of the Navy represented Maritime interests. Most of the rest served under Northumberland:- 
Sir James Croft, was Deputy in Ireland. Sir William Pickering, as Ambassador in Paris. Sir Edward Rogers, as Gentleman of the Privy Council. Sir Edward Warner as Lieutenant of the Tower. Others, such as Sir Thomas Wyatt, came from fashionable courtly families. Crofts and Sir Nicholas had regular access to Mary. 
In November they asked De Noailles (French Ambassador) for Naval support, with the qualification that no Frenchman  would actually land. 
On Dec 22nd in conjunction with the Duke of Suffolk they settled a fourfold rising: Crofts was to raise Herefordshire. Carew  with Courtenay, Devon Suffolk, Leicestershire Wyatt, Kent. Operation planning for Palm Sunday 18 March 1554; Mary to be deposed, Elizabeth proclaimed Queen. 
By the standards of most Tudor conspiracies the plot was by no means amateurish, but the number of conspirators was so large and the scope of the rebellion so wide that secrecy was impossible; by Jan 2nd the Council had got wind of it. By Jan 17th they had garrisoned Exeter thus stopping the western risings. The next day Renaud gave his information to Mary. 
Wyatt and his colleagues, who had heard this immediately, then decided to scrap their timetable and raise their followers at once. Suffolk roe down to the Midlands but after Coventry refused him admission his rising collapsed. Carew collected only 70 men in Devon and fled to France. Wyatt held council of war at Allington Castle on Jan 19th, but only 30 gentlemen joined him. The Government however could only raise half of this number locally. 
By Feb 3rd he was at Southwark with 3000 men, he found the bridge defended so turned west to Kingston, where he crossed the ford in the Thames, entering London through Knightsbridge. By Feb 7th he had reached Ludgate which he found shut against him, and Wyatt was discouraged by his reception by the Londoners and when called upon by Pembroke to surrender, he did so. Less than 40 men had been killed. 
On Feb 25th Sir John Bourne reported to Gardiner that he had "laboured to make Sir Thomas Wyatt confess concerning the Lady Elizabeth - but unsuccessfully, though torture had been applied". On the scaffold Wyatt re-iterated that he had betrayed neither Elizabeth nor Courtenay. 
"I assure you that neither they nor any other now in your durance (the Tower) was privy to my rising". 
Dr Weston, Mary’s clerical advisor attempted to flatly contradict this statement and was hotly resented by the crowd. It was against the protocol of capital punishment. 
Guildford, Dudley and his wife, Lady Jane Grey were executed on Feb 2nd. Lady Jane Grey’s father, Suffolk on Feb 23rd.  Wyatt on April 11th. Lord Thomas Grey, (Suffolk’s brother) on April 24th William Thomas on May 18th. 
"45 Commoners were executed (hanged) on Feb 14th, and a few more at Southwark the following day" 
During the next fortnight 30 were sent down to Kent to be hanged there locally. We can count 71 certain executions in all. In some cases local authorities simply "forgot" until the panic died down. 
The higher social status of the rebels, the more lenient the treatment. Winter, Warner, Rogers and Arnold, were never brought to trial at all, and received pardons in due course. Carew and Gibb, (Devon Rising) were brought to the Tower later but were released. Crofts was tried, convicted but pardoned 2 years later. 
The execution of Sir Thomas Wyatt was carried out to appease Renaud, the Ambassador of Spain. Throgmorton was let out in January. 
"After Wyatt’s beheading, the London mob struggled to dip their handkerchiefs in his blood; within 10 days his head had been spirited away" Wyatt wrote to Elizabeth "That she should get herself as far from the City as she could, the rather for her safety".



Post Rebellion
18. Jane (Haute) Wyatt 
Had 10 children, only 3, George (21), Anne (22), Jane (23) grew up. 
1571 Queen Elizabeth restored family in blood and arms through influence of distant kinswoman. Properties of Boxley Abbey and Wavering Manor (but NOT Allington Castle, already given to John Astley), thus relieving Jane’s poverty which had made her and her family dependent on the Haute relatives and friends for 17 years. 1638 Appeared in the Archdeacons Court of Canterbury, Oct 26th 1638 and petitioned for the administration of the estate of her son Haute Wyatt, later vicar of Boxley, Kent. 
19. Elizabeth Darrell (sometimes spelt Darrall). 
Daughter of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote (Wilts) Chamberlain to Queen Catharine of Aragon. Became Maid of Honour to Katharine of Aragon, and like her, refused to take the Oath of Supremacy. When the Queen died in 1536 she left Mrs Darrell with £200 for her marriage, though none was in prospect. After 
1538 Became the mistress of Sir Thomas Wyatt (the younger - 17) 
1540 Bore him a son Francis Darrell Wyatt (20), Sir Thomas Wyatt (the elder - 15) left Elizabeth properties in Dorset with the right of reversion to her son Francis. 
1543 Properties were confirmed as being held, by Elizabeth. She bore 3 sons of Sir Thomas - Henry, who died in infancy, Francis, who took the name of Darrell, and Edward, whose date of birth has not been traced. 
Elizabeth eventually married Robert Strowde in 1554 shortly after receiving a legacy from Queen Catharine. 
Muir in his book, Life and Letters of Sir Thomas Wyatt, assets that Elizabeth Darrell was the mistress of Sir Thomas Wyatt the elder, and not Sir Thomas Wyatt the younger as usually given. He quotes various state papers in support of his statement. 
Elizabeth Darrell was the daughter of Sir Edward Darrell, of Littlecote, Wiltshire, by his first wife, Anne and was in the service of the Marchioness of Exeter at the time. She eventually married Robert Strowde in 1554, shortly after receiving a legacy from Queen Catharine. She was the mother of Francis Darrell, (Wyatt) born in 1540. 
At Cromwell’s suggestion, Sir Thomas Wriothesley wrote to Wyatt, the elder, informing him of the arrest of the Marquis of Exeter and Lord Montague on a charge of treason. Cromwell knew that Wyatt was acquainted with at least one member of the Marquis of Exeter’s household, Elizabeth Darrell, who had already been forced to give evidence, and who had mentioned Wyatt’s visit to her when he was last in England. It is probable that she was already his mistress, and that he was naturally disturbed at Exeter’s alleged treason. (State Papers) 
Wyatt had been to see Elizabeth Darrell on his visit to England from Spain, the previous June. We know this from the evidence of Jerome Ragland, given on Oct 28th. (State Papers no 70) In 1534, on his return to England he reported to the King, and afterwards spent some time at Allington Castle, re-united with Elizabeth Darrell, and made some attempt to put his finances in order. 
When Wyat was a arrested for suspected Lutheran sympathies the Privy Council instructed Sir Richard Southwell to proceed to Allington Castle and confiscate, for the King, all the plate, household stuff, armoury, guns and horses, and also to "discharge from thens, the Lady Poynings and yong Wyattes wief". He was also instructed to ask Elizabeth Darrell "Wither she intended to go to any such place wheras she shuld be ordered --- untill the King’s highnes further pleasur we knowen therin" 
The whole incident was the result of false accusations by Bonner, Bishop of London, who was jealous of Wyatt and wished to take his place as Ambassador. After a short period in the Tower and apparently no formal trial, Wyatt was released in 1541. 
Wyatt retired to Allington and devoted the next six months to writing his Penitential Psalms. Elizabeth Darrell was living at Allington at this time, as well as Lady Poynings and Wyatt’s son and daughter-in-law. 
On June 12th 1541 Wyatt made his will in which he made provision both for Elizabeth Darrell and for his illegitimate son by her, Francis Darrell, alias Wyatt. He bequeathed lands in Dorset and Somerset to her, with the remainder to her son. She also received the estate at Tarrant given to her in 1544 by Sir Thomas (the younger). 19. Elizabeth Darrell and her children. 
Elizabeth bore 3 sons of Sir Thomas:- Henry, who died in infancy, Francis, who took the name of Darrell and Edward who was executed among the rebels after the Wyatt Rebellion of 1554. 
Various authors and authorities give conflicting accounts of Elizabeth Darrell’s connection with the Wyatts. 
1 Stanley Wyatt, in "Cheneys and Wyatts" Page 111, definitely states that she became the mistress of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the younger 1521-1554, by whom she had a son Francis, with a passing reference to "another little Wyatt" who may be Edward. 
2 According to A R Simons in "The Queen and the Rebel", Edward was the natural son of Sir Thomas, the younger, and he gives a full description of the boy’s attendance at the early meetings of the main conspirators, his torture in the Tower and his execution, probably at Maidstone, on the 17th, with Thomas Cobham. 
3 Muir, in "Life and Letters of Sir Thomas Wyatt", (the elder) 1503-1542, states she was the mistress of Sir Thomas, the elder, quoting Letters and Papers of Henry VII, VIII, No 674. Thomas the Elder visited Elizabeth in 1538, but the date could fit either father, aged 35, or the son aged 17, who had been ever persuaded by his parents into marriage with Jane Haute when he was 16, and form whom he later became estranged. 
4 Sir Thomas, the elder, left Elizabeth property in Dorset when he died, while Sir Thomas, the younger on entering into his father’s estates in 1543, which were already heavily encumbered with debts, sold part of them to pay the debts and then in addition, settled the estate of Tarrant, in Dorset on Francis Darrell. 
5 Dr William Haute Wyatt, (Indiana University), states she had three children by Sir Thomas (the elder or younger is not given) Henry, Francis and Edward. He states that Edward was a boy of 13 or 14 when he was caught up in Thomas the younger’s rebellion, an age which makes either man the possible father. 
6 Edward Wyatt was living at Allington with Sir Thomas, the younger, at the time of the Rebellion, and followed him in the march, was finally captured and tortured(to see what he knew of the suspected connection between Sir Thomas and the future Queen Elizabeth) and executed, which seems to suggest he was the son of Sir Thomas the younger. 
Cross references fit the cases of both men - is it possible that she became the mistress of both men? 
Edward Wyatt is mentioned by Loades in his edited version of George Wyatt’s papers as "the suppositious son of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the elder. 
20. Francis Darrell Wyatt, 1540 - 
One of the three illegitimate sons of either Sir Thomas, the elder or younger, depending on which evidence you accept, by Elizabeth Darrell. Three are known, Henry, who died in infancy, Francis and Edward. There is some confusion between Francis and Edward. 
Francis took the name of Darrell and seems to have been taken into the Darrell family and from there disappears, no further references have been found to date. The boy questioned, and executed after the rebellion seems to have been Edward. 
20 A Edward Wyatt 
(According to AR Simons "The Queen and the Rebel") Edward was the natural son of Sir Thomas, the younger 
1554 Jan 21st Was present among relatives, friends and neighbours called to a meeting at Allington Castle to discuss the date for the insurrection. 
Jan 24th He is listed among the principal leaders and gentry of the neighbourhood who slept on the floor of the hall of Allington Castle, ready for the assembly at Penenden Heath, Boxley the next day. 
Jan 25th Accompanied his father on the march to London, and surrendered at Ludgate Hill with about 60 other rebels and was taken to the Tower. 
Feb 9th Bishop Gardiner referred to him as "one little Wyatt" who might be usefully interrogated, (presumably on the rack), to see if he knew anything of his father’s relations with Princess Elizabeth. Gardiner’s exact words to Sir William Petre, Governor of the Tower, were:- "Whether ye press him to say the truth by sharp punishment or promise of life" 
Feb 19th Thomas Cobham and little Edward Wyatt were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered. 
Date of birth untraced. 
21 George 1550-1623 
1571 George and family restored in blood and arms after having been deprived of them in consequence of Bill of Attainment and execution of his father, Sir Thomas in 1554. Admitted to Grays’ Inn when 17. 
1582 When age 18 married Jane Finch (24) daughter of Sir Thomas Finch, (deceased) an heiress, which restored family fortunes. Had 3 sons, Francis, Haute and George, and a daughter who married Lord Finch, a relative of George’s mother. He wrote the "Life of Anne Boleyn" which was published and a history of the Wyatt family which is in the British Museum in manuscript form. Saw active service as a soldier, lived to 73, wife outlived him by 20 years. Took Holy Orders as vicar of Boxley.

Through this marriage connection, Sir Francis was nominated Governor of Virginia, an area which covered a large tract of eastern seaboard of America covering not only the present US State of Virginia but several of the other States as well, which afterwards received separate names. 
During the first year of office 1300 settlers arrived in Virginia, but inflow was checked in 1622 due to Indians revolt, when 300 settlers were massacred. With the seat of government at Jamestown during his second term of office there developed a thriving community some seven miles away, between Jamestown on the James River and Yorktown on the York River. This was called "Middle Plantation" the name being changed to Williamsburg, when a college was built there and named in honour of William and Mary, 1693. (It no has over 5000 students). From records in the Land Office in Richmond, among the first residents of Middle Plantation were Edward Wyot (36) and George (35) in 1645. (York County Land Records) 
NOTE 
During his governorship, Sir Francis signed his name on land records in FIVE different ways:- from Wyot - Wiatt - Wyat - Wyet - to Wyatt. 
Sir Francis Wyatt, in a letter to his father George Wyatt (21) dated 4 April 1623:- 
"James City sayes, Mrs Boyse, reporteth a great deale of misetie that o’ people endure and not least Hungerin wch th’ Indians also suffer extreme. The Company agreed w’th Capt Each (Mr of th’ Abigaile) for erecting of a Fort vpon the Oister bankes; but it pleased God to call him away, presently after his coming and I feare he vnderstood not the place where intent was to build it; forvpon triall it prooved a loose false grounde, besides the Capt beeing dead there was not left that would certaine vndertake it or covenant to pforme it in any resonable tyme. So we resolved to dismiss the Ship (lying at 160 a month) and w’th o’ land men (leavying every XXth man towarde the Worke) vnder the Com’d of Capt Roger Smyth who lived 12 or 13 years in the Wars in the Low Countreyes to build a blcokhouse vpon the Shoare where we might well comand shipping and w’hall have a strong Plantacon the gound being rich and good; This will at least give a beginning to what may be done hereafter of greater consequence." 
Sir Francis Wyatt, knighted by Charles I, had a daughter Elizabeth (/30) who married James Bosville. Their daughter Frances (32) carried the estate to her husband, Sir Thomas Selyard, but Edwin (30) younger brother of Henry, a distinguished lawyer, established his claim to a large portion of the estate against his niece, Lady Selyard, leaving her only the Abbey and land adjoining.

Wyatt’s father died in Ireland in Sept 1625 and Wyatt left Virginia to succeed to his property at Boxley.

Less than six months later came the massacre of the settlers by the Indians, "but Jamestown having been warned in time, the Governor, his entourage and settlers there escaped the holocaust". Barbara Mitford, his first wife, did not accompany her husband to Virginia for neither she nor her children are listed with him in the census there of 1623. Upon his return to England in 1626 with his brother, Sir Francis, called there by the death of their father, which occurred in 1624, Haute Wyatt settled again in Boxley, where his wife gave birth to a third child, Oct 1626 and died shortly afterwards.

34 Elinor d1679 
Second child of Henry (29) 35 Edward 1619-1698 
"Middle Plantations" and Gloucester County, Virginia, USA - Middle Plantations afterwards known at Williamsburg. 
Was born in 1619 in Kent, England and died in Gloucester County, Virginia. His estate was called "Boxley" after the old parish, where his father was vicar. Another of the ancestral homes in Virginia was "Old Upton". Both these estates were for generations homes for the Wyatts. Edward received patents for the lands in Gloucester County in 1662 and for Middle Plantations in 1663. He married Jane Conquest (1662-1698) and had among issue Conquest, b1665(?) (86) 
Appears in York County Records "Edward Wyot living with George Wyot at this place in 1645" 
Patented land in Gloucester (1633) totalling 2,200 acres, planted tobacco on a large scale, where his estate is still known as "Boxley", though it has passed out of the Wyatt ownership. 
Was known as the "Great Planter". He appears to have been the eldest son, born about 1620, despite what was probably an error in listing the children of Haute Wyatt in the administration accounts which named him as the second son. This is born out by claim by his descendants in Virginia to "Boxley" (Boxley Abbey?) in England, when the Wyatt line through Sir Francis became extinct. 
Edward Wyatt, first mentioned in Virginia records as Edwin Wyatt, "a headright" in a land patent issued September 3rd 1663, to his uncle Sir Francis. He had apparently come to the country when Sir Francis was sent, as governor, a second time, in 1639. 
He acquired, by Sept 3rd 1663, 850 acres at Middle Plantations (Williamsburg, York County). On July 20 1662 he had obtained a patent for 1230 acres in Gloucester County, "upon the Pianketank River, for transportation of 25 persons". This probably confirms a gift of land in the Pianketank area made to Edward Wyatt 29th Oct 1655 by "Pindavako the Protector of the young king of Chiskoyack". 
The Wyatt plantation "Boxley" upon the Pianketank River eventually divided and "Old Upton" and "New Upton" cut from it. 
The surname of Edward Wyatt’s wife is believed to have been Conquest. 
There is a Photostat copy in original source file of the document showing the deed of gift of CHISKOYAKE INDIAN LAND TO EDWARD Wyatt IN 1655. 
36 George 1622-1705

Was of "Middle Plantations" and Gloucester County, Virginia, went to England with his parents in 1625, was reared and educated there but returned in 1639. He patented lands in Williamsburg in 1642 and had among other children, Henry (41) b 1647. George purchased, (with a George Lake) on April 12th 1642, 400 acres in James City County. 
He died prior to 1671/72 at which time "Henry Wyatt, son and heir of George Wyatt of "Middle Plantations" deceased".

John was born in England and went to Virginia by 1652 when he claimed as a "headright" by Colonel Thomas Pettus for land patented in Westmoreland County and from whom the Wyatts of "Plain Dealings" are descended. See Genealogical charts insert no 7. Plain Dealings is in Gloucester County, Virginia. 
38 Ann 1631 
Sometimes given as Katharine Ann, baptised at Boxley Feb 1631, m Charles Nicholas Everleigh (or Everley), died in Virginia.

WJG Verco, the Chester Herald of Arms that the Weeford coat could only have been derived from the same source as that of Henry Wiat, and that such a patent was guarded jealously by families in England and was a serious offence in law if abused. It is on this assumption that Dr Laws Wyatt makes the suggestion of Hugh (416) with William of Essex (10) or Thomas Wiat of Kent (8). For details of the armorial bearings see notes on "The Wyatt Arms". The same arms are quoted for the Wyatts of Carnarvon in Burke’s "Landed Gentry" 1951-52.

509 James Wyatt 1749-1813 
1746. Born at Blackbrook Farm, Burton Constable, Staffordshire, sixth of 7 sons of Benjamin Wyatt, farmer, and timber merchant of Blackbrook who practised as an architect and builder. The father Benjamin Wyatt was steward to Lord Uxbridge, and from him are descended the brother Thomas Henry Wyatt and Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. James attended the village school at Burton Constable. 1762. At 14 his skill attracted the attention of Lord Bagot who took him to Rome, (where he was ambassador) so that James might study architecture for 3-4 years, and then to Venice for 2 years. 1766. Returned to London. 1770. Became an Associate of the Royal Academy. Adapted the old Partheon in Oxford Street for dramatic performances which brought him popularity and success. For many years he was constantly employed erecting mansions, notable for comfort and refinement of their interiors. Examples:- Heaton House, near Manchester. Lee Priory near Canterbury. 1776. Appointed Surveyor of Westminster Abbey. Restored Salisbury and Lincoln Cathedrals, rebuilt the nave of Hereford Cathedral and restored part of Windsor Castle, which earned him the nickname of "The Destroyer" from his critics. 1785. Became R A and President Elect in 1805. 1796. Surveyor General of the Board of Works. Other works he completed in this period were: - Chiswick House, for the Duke of Devonshire (now demolished). Ashridge Castle, Hertfordshire, for Lord Bridgewater in Suffolk. The interior to Heveningham Hall, in Suffolk, now owned by the National Trust. 1813. On a journey from Bath to London, his carriage overturned near Marlborough and he was killed. Due to his appointment as Surveyor to the Dean and Chapter he was buried in Westminster Abbey near Poets Corner where there is an inscription to his memory. There is a bronze bust of Wyatt by CF Rose in the National Portrait Gallery and a portrait in the Royal Institute of British Architects. He left a widow (Rachel) and 4 sons including Benjamin Dean Wyatt, Matthew Cotes Wyatt and Philip Wyatt. 
Heveningham Hall "Was commissioned by Sir Gerald Vanneck to design the interior of Heveningham Hall in 1777 which is considered as the most perfect present day example of the Georgian architecture of the period. The exterior was designed by Sir R Taylor (the King’s Architect) and the grounds by Capability Brown. James Wyatt decorated Heveningham Hall with genius in the manner of Robert Adams and "Adams himself never did anything better". A fire in 1944 damaged the dining room, but copies of Wyatts original plans were on hand and the restoration is immaculate. 
1768 He returned to London from Venice and for 2 years nothing is known of him until in 1770 he emerged to fame as the successful architect for the Pantheon. He settled in Newport Street with his brother John Wyatt, a surgeon and one of the committee set up to consider designs sent in by competitors. An advertisement for the Pantheon gives W. Wyatt son of John Wyatt as the treasurer of the proprietors. James had met and formed a life long friendship with Richard Dalton who had been sent to Italy George III for the purpose of collecting pictures and whose influence helped him win the competition for the appointment. It became the centre for balls, fetes and masquerades attended by the King and Queen. Later it became the Opera House in the Haymarket before it was burned down in a fire. Wyatt rivalled the four Adams brothers in popularity, fame and skill. 1791. Became a foundation member of the Architects Club. 1774. Married and moved from Newport Street to 1 Foley Place which he had built for himself (now pulled down). The Dukes of Richmond and Northumberland became his patrons and the Russian Ambassador on behalf of Tzarina Catherine, offered him any salary he chose to demand, to settle in Petersburg as her architect. He refused as he feared he would never be allowed to leave that country and return to England. 
From 1773-1801 he dealt with seven colleagues at Oxford making additions and alterations. Canterbury Quadrangle 1783; Oriel 1788; Corpus Christi 1805; Halls at Balliol and Merton, as well as the Radcliffe Observatory. He also engaged in Ecclesiastical Restoration for the Commissioners, doing work which aroused much criticism. His reputation as a "Destroyer" was manufactured after his death largely by hostile critics, who made him responsible for the mistakes of other as well as his own. The repairs and renovations Wyatt carried out at Windsor and Westminster were the recommendations of a committee of the leading architects and a Committee of the House of Commons. It is therefore unfair to call Wyatt "The Destroyer". It was probably due to a persistent stream of vindictive abuse and criticism in the "Gentleman Magazine" in 1789 by John Carter, concealing his identity under the Pseudonym of "An Architect". Perhaps Wyatt’s termination of Carter’s employment as superintendent of the men employed on the work has some connection with the criticism. Wyatt was the first architect to occupy the chair of the RA. His work has always strong "Gothic" or classic tones. He had three outstanding faults; an entire lack of business capability, complete incapacity for constant or intense application and utter improvidence. He made a fortune, never saved any of it and left his widow penniless. Death; Aug 1813 aged 68. 
About 2 miles east of Marlborough in Codrington’s coach and four travelling at great speed met a returning post chaise and a man on horseback riding at the side. "The rider was forced to make his way between the two vehicles ran against Codrington’s coach and was thrown over. The wheel of the carriage passed over the rump of the horse and the vehicle overturned". Wyatt’s skull was fractured and he was killed. A verdict of accidental death was returned. He was buried in the South transept of Westminster Abbey. 
LEE PRIORY 1782 (Near Canterbury, Kent) Owner was Thomas Barratt friend of Walpole’s. Most famous alteration was the "Abbot’s Library", and was the most serious gothic work which existed in 1780. It had no monastic connections, the name was only attacked to add realism. The most indispensable decoration was stained glass, the interior filled with a mass of gilded fittings ornamented with pinnacles and crockets.

THE WYATT ARCHITECTS 
James (509) Architect Samuel (475) Carpenter and Craftsman. Benjamin Wyatt (472) Carpenter, bought oak trees from famous woodland estates of William Bagot. This brought him and his sons to the notice of Bagot and the aristocracy. Samuel Wyatt (475) The craftsman, given first commission to build to another’s drawings a country house 1769. Later a carpentry contract for Canterbury Quadrangle, Christ Church College, Oxford. Executed Bononi’s design for new stables and house at Ashstead Park, Surrey. Worked on Pantheon, London 1769-1774. James Wyatt (509) Taken by Richard, younger brother of Sir William Bagot to Italy. (Note:- "Dale, 1936 states it was Sir William, by then Lord Bagot, Ambassador to Italy in 1762) Richard Bagot was secretary to Lord Northampton. James spent 2 years in Venice studying, drawing and painting under Antonio Viscentini and 4 years in Rome, where he made drawings and measurements of several of the major monuments. Gaddesden Place, Hertfordshire 1768. First commission in the south, after staying in London with brother John (474) at Newport Street, a surgeon and Fellow of the Royal Society, (intermittently between 1769-1774) while engaged with brother Samuel on Pantheon. Returned to Weeford where both William (473) and Samuel were architects. William Wyatt (473) patron was Matthew Boulton. Combination of Samuel’s and William’s co-operation led to the creation of the famous WYATT STYLE, as expressed in the Pantheon (1769-1774) project in Oxford Street, London, and a group of country houses, of which internal construction of :- Beaudesert (Staffordshire) and Heaton House (nr Manchester) were most important. 
The individual contributions of James, Samuel and William to the new style has never been examined, but James played the dominant role and was the finest draughtsman of the three. William’s contribution was mainly practical and with most business experience (acted as treasurer for Pantheon). Samuel’s share more enigmatical, probably through his influences on James by showing him Adam’s and Paine’s designs. All the buildings designed 1769-1772 show Adam’s influence and mark intermediary stage in evolution for HEATON HOUSE, building craftsmanship shows part played by Samuel. 
THE PANTHEON (Oxford Street 1769-1771). First big work of combined brothers. Owner of site was Philip Elias Turst, company formed for building place of winter entertainment, equivalent to Ranelagh. Opened January 27th 1772, was a great success, financially and architecturally. Folio of accounts shows portrait of Samuel, (by Lemuel Abbott) who was responsible for timber construction, (Rotunda was vertuoso carpentry performance). It established the Wyatt metropolitan fame. William remained in the Midlands and id not work in London. 
1771 Hagley Hall (nr Rugely) for Asheton Curzon, built by William (473) and Samuel (475). Heaton Hall (Manchester) for Sir Thomas Egerton. 1771 Gunton Hall (Norfolk) for Sir Harbord Harbord. 1771-73 Beaudesert (Staffordshire) for Lord Paget. 
Joseph Wyatt (476) executed masonry and made new drives in the Park. Brother also worked independently on many commissions in the South, Staffordshire and Cheshire. Lewis William Wyatt (481) Succeeded father. Success of London business due to his able to draw on largely exploited Staffordshire woodlands, as result of the new canals, when timber was scarce. Benjamin Dean (520) Son of James (509) stayed at Weeford and helped William, till his appointment as Agent to Lord Penrhyn in Wales. 1774 Partnership of Samuel and James broke up. Samuel settled in Berwick Street, was an astute businessman became rich, designed lighthouses, model farms and moderately sized country houses. James completely improvident died in penury, became involved in more serious gothic work.
