[11176] "He became king on his father's death on Jan. 14, 1766. Badly educated, systematically terrorized by a brutal governor and hopelessly debauched by corrupt pages he grew up a semi-idiot. ...He ultimately sank into a condition of mental stupor and became the obedient slave of the upstart Struensee who, after the dismissal of Bernstorff in 1770, controlled the affairs of State." - Encyclopaedia Britannica (1956), 5:629.
See http://mariah.stonemarche.org/famfiles/fam04391.htm which states that Robert is son of Robert de Plumpton (son of Nigel de Plumpton and Avicia de Clare) and Isabella de Westwick (daughter of Srelonis de Westwick). Cf. http://www.geneajourney.com/plmptn.html
Chase, Levi B., "A Genealogy and Historical Notices of the Family of Plimpton or Plympton", (Hartfort, CT: Plimpton Mfg. Co., 1884), pp. 5-17:
"ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY OF PLYMPTON OR PLIMPTON."
In the first stage of the search we direct our attention to the town of Plympton, Devonshire, England; orthographic similarity leading to the inference that the starting point was there.
From "Magna Britanica et Hibernica Antiqua et Nova," we get the following:--Vol. 1, page 467. "Plimouth--ancient name Sutton, i. e., South Town from its situation, and seems to have been divided into two parts, the one called Sutton Prior, and the other Sutton Valtort, because the one belonged to the Priory of Plimpton, and the other was the Lordship of the Valtorts; . . . now known only by the name of Plimouth."
Page 469. "Plimpton--a pretty, populous market town."
Page 507. "Plimpton Monastery--founded by King Edgar, or by one of the West Saxon Kings,"--were given "divers lands for the maintenance of Canons to it." . . . This house was afterwards changed by William Warlwast, Bishop of Exeter, "into a Priory of Canons Regular of St. Augustine."
Page 520. "Borough of Plimpton--granted by the Earl of Devon to the Bergesses of Plimpton in 1241." . . . "The Priory of Plimpton erected for black Canons by William Warlwast, Bishop of Exeter, was the glory of the place."
It appears from the foregoing, that a body of Monks or their Prior occupied the position of "Lord of the Manor,"--that the usual conditions for the establishment of a family deriving their surname from the name of the town, did not in this instance, exist. No evidence has been found in heraldry, or in the local histories of Devonshire, that such a family has ever resided there. Having carried the investigation in that direction to the extent here stated, it is the purpose of the writer to rest the question of the existence of a family deriving their surname from the town of Plympton, Devonshire, England.
The family of Plumpton of Plumpton, in Yorkshire, England, is now brought forward as the probable source of all families bearing the name of Plympton or Plimpton.
The late Mr. H. N. Somerby, an eminent authority, gave the Plumpton coat of arms as Plympton, to the late Mr. Henry Plympton of Boston, previous to 1852.
Mr. W. P. W. Phillimore, a genealogist of London, writes:-- "I do not think the name of Plympton is really so very rare [in England], for I take it to be synonymous with Plumpton."
Abstracts of twelve or more wills, dated between the years 1575, and 1675, bring to our knowledge the fact that there were a number of families at that time residing in the counties of Somerset, and Devon, who were descended from the Plumptons of York.
A few instances in which the different forms of spelling the family surname were applied to the same individual or place, have been handed down from an early period.
In Rymer's Foedera, Tom. 7, P. 246, A. D., 1377, occurs the names of "Priori de Plumpton," "Johanne Vicario de Plumpton" and others. Again Tom. 9, P. 285, A. D., 1415, the name of "Johanne Priori de Plympton" and others. The documents quoted from, contain the proof that the persons mentioned were functionaries of the Priory in Devonshire, the name of which in "Magna Britanica et Hibernica et Nova," is spelled Plimpton. The Vicar of 1377, was evidently the same person who was the Prior in 1415.
Rymer's Foedera, Tom. 1, P. 628, A. D., 1257;--a document by Pope Alexander IV., in which he addresses,--"Our reverend brethren (a certain Archbishop and Bishops) and the beloved son Master Nicholas de Plimton, Archdeacon of Norfolk."
In Bloomfield's History of the county of Norfolk, Vol. 3, page 643, Nicholas de Plumpton, Chaplain to the Pope and Rector of Dene in Essex Diocese, is mentioned as Archdeacon of Norfolk in 1260.
In Morant's Essex, Vol. 1, page 189, occurs the following: We find in the Domesday Book [1086] a parcel of land under Stondon, then called Plumptons, which was held by Ralph Peverell. Gilbert Bacun and Sabrina his wife held it in 1286, of Dionysius de Monchensy as of her Barony of Anesty, by the name of Plimpton-hope.
More might be said upon the preceding points, but believing sufficient for any purpose desired, has been already advanced, it is proposed to proceed at once to the Historical Notices of the Family of Plumpton drawn mainly from the book called "Plumpton Correspondence," published by the Camden Society, London, 1839. The points of interest will be presented by copious extracts; matter of less value will be condensed or omitted.
The family derived its surname from the vill of Plumpton, situate within the parish of Spofforth, in the upper division of Claro wapentake, west riding of the county of York, three miles distant from the town of Knaresborough. The mesne-tenant in the vill of Plumpton in 1086, appears in Domesday Book (a record of the great survey of England) to have been Eldred de Plumpton, and to have held lands of William de Percy, at the same time when that great survey was taken in the twentieth year of the reign of William the Conqueror. But this Anglo-Saxon occupant can not (says the writer of "Historical Notices of the Family of Plumpton"), from existing evidence, be presumed to have been the ancestor of the family who had afterwards the local surname.
Before the first Sunday in Lent, in the year 1168, William de Percy made a return of the knights enfeoffed of his honour, both of ancient feoffment of the time of Henry I., that is, up to the year of his death, 1135, and of new feoffment since his death, with their nomenclature, in order that those who had not yet done leige homage, and whose names were not written in the roll of the King, might come in and do it before that Sunday.
Of the knights newly enfeoffed, he names, "Nigellus de Pluntona de I. milite."
This Nigell de Plumpton died in the fourteenth year of the reign of King John (1212); married first, Maria; married second, Juliana de Warewic, daughter of Richard de Warewic, surviving, she claimed as her dower, the third part of the vills of Plumpton, Gersington, Idell, and Ribstaine.
The earliest deed, among the ancient evidences of the family existing in 1612, was, it may be presumed, the one enrolled in the pedigree of Plumpton, as entered in the book of Richard St. George, Norroy, in his visitation of Yorkshire; it contained a grant of a tenement and two acres of land in Plumpton from Nigellus de Plumpton to Gamel, son of Elewin, his marshal, and had a seal attached to it with the impression of a knight on horse-back holding a drawn sword, the name being circumscribed. Another deed of this first progenitor, containing a much more extensive grant to his seneschal, Robert, son of Huckman de Plompton, having attached a seal with the same impression was remaining in 1620.
"In the very ancient church of Spofford, is a most curious antique monument having a cumbent figure, placed cross-legged upon it which was most commonly passed (as there is no inscription), for the tomb of a Knight Templar of the Percy Family; because on a large shield which covers the breast of the figure, are most obviously the arms of the Percies, . . . only there is a small difference of an escallop shell inserted in the centre of each of the fusils. . . .
"But notwithstanding the local tradition concerning it, on investigating this matter in the Office of Arms (where this very monument is recorded, and a drawing preserved) it appears that the common account given of it is a mistake: and that the monument actually belongs to one of the Plumptons; which family was a very considerable one, and on account of their being dependents upon, and holding lands of the Percies, as mesne lords, bore the Percy arms, with the difference above mentioned in token of their subordination. . . .
"Amidst the various ancestors in the course of this long descent, one was particularly distinguished. Nigell de Plumpton, to whom William Estoteville Lord of Knaresborough, in addition to the lands held of the Percies, granted the whole lordship of Plumpton in the time of Henry II. This Nigell died in the fourteenth year of King John, and from the dress of the cumbent figure, the form of the arms, the legs being crossed, and every other circumstance in the appearance of this ancient tomb, it may fairly be considered to have been his sepulchre." (Arch'ologia, Vol. vi. p. 337.)
Gilbert de Plumpton kt., brother of Nigellus, married the daughter of Roger de Gulewast and his wife Helewis daughter of Roger de Hunton.
"In this reign" [Henry II.] (says Mr. Thomas Stapleton) "the name of Plumpton acquired a melancholy notoriety from an event, which I relate in the words of the earliest contemporary authority." In the year 1184, while the king was sojourning at Worcester with his army, with intent to make war upon Rhys-ap-Griffin, as is mentioned above, a certain youth was brought there in fetters, sprung of noble lineage, and whose name was Gilbert de Plumton, whom Ranulf de Glanvil, the king's justiciary, had in odium, and sought to put to death; laying to his charge that he had ravished a certain maiden in the king's gift, the daughter of Roger de Guilevast, and kept her to him as his wife; and that in the night-time he broke through six doors in the abode of the girl's father, and took from him a hunting horn and a head-stall, etc., along with the said maiden. He added, moreover, that all these things he carried off by theft and robbery; but the said youth in every point denied what was alleged concerning any violence, theft, and robbery; and upon the issue, he offered to abide the law. But Ranulf de Glanvile wishing to make away with him, because he designed to give the same maiden (whom the said Guilbert had already known after their espousals) in marriage to Reiner, Sheriff of Yorkshire, with her father's inheritance, further exhorted those who were to try Gilbert to adjudge him to death; and so it was done, for they sentenced him to be hung; and whilst he was being led to the gibbit, intelligence was brought of the proceedings in his case to Baldwin, Bishop of the same city of Worcester. The which Bishop, though in great grief for the condemnation of the youth, was, however, exhorted by his attendants to rescue him from death. They said, that he could legally do this, because it was Sunday that same day, and upon it the Feast of Blessed Mary Magdalen. The Bishop (who was a meek and good man) acquiesced in their arguments, and having mounted on horseback, quickly rode after the executioners, who were leading the youth to the gibbit, and had now arrived at the place. Already was the youth with his hands bound behind his back, and with a green band over his eyes, and an iron-chain round his neck; the executioners being on the point of hoisting the youth up, as the Bishop arrived with a multitude of people. Having alighted from his horse, and
running up, he stationed himself by the side of the prisoner, thus exclaiming and saying, "I forbid you, on the part of God and Blessed Mary Magdalen, and under sentence of excommunication, to hang this man on this day, because today is the day of our Lord and the Feast of Blessed Mary Magdalen; wherefore, it is not lawful for you to contaminate the day." The executioners replied, "Who are you?" and "what madness prompts you, that you have the audacity to impede the execution of the King's justice?" But the Bishop with no less firmness of heart than of speech, rejoins, "Not madness, but the clemency of heavenly pity urges me; nor do I desire to impede the King's justice, but to warn you against an unwary act, lest by the contamination of a solemn day, you and the King incur the wrath of the eternal God." After some altercation, divine authority at length prevailed; and at the entreaty of the Bishop he who was bound is unloosed; nevertheless, he was delivered over to the keeper of the King's castle to safe custody, and in the morning to be led again to execution. But the Lord Almighty, who never deserts those who hope in him, through the merits of the said Bishop, granted a longer span of life to the said Guilbert. For when these matters were reported to King Henry, who, before judgment was pronounced, had withdrawn from the city, from that time forward he cherished the said Bishop with a greater love and reverence. Whereupon, immediately, on the same day, in the greatest haste, he sent his messengers to the keeper of his castle, with orders that the youth should not be hung, but kept in prison until he should learn his further will in his respect. "Be God blessed in everything, who saves those who cry unto him, and delivered Gilbert out of the hands of those who bore him malice, and rescued him from the snare of the wicked."
Gilbert was kept in prison until after the death of King Henry II., in 1189; when in the second year of Richard I. Nigel de Plumpton compounds for his brother's release and restoration to his wife and lands.
We learn that the Guilewast property in the vill, (or town) of Hunton, Richmondshire, came into possession of Gilbert de Plumpton with his wife, and by him five acres and a half of his demesne in the fields of Hunton, were given to the nuns of Marrick. In the course of another descent, (A. D., 1266) Hunton had passed into the hands of Nicholas, son of Robert de Gerdiston, i. e., Garriston, a neighboring vill. He was called a knight by one writer (Roger de Hoveden) and we have seen in the foregoing that he was "sprung of noble lineage." It appears that Nigell and Gilbert were "native and to the manor born," at Plumpton; which proves the family occupancy at least one generation previous to them. As to descendants of Gilbert de Plumpton, the matter is left in uncertainty.
Hukman seneschal, or steward, for Nigell de Plumpton, and called Hukman de Plumpton.
SECOND GENERATION.
2. Nigell de Plumpton. [1]

He appears to have repeatedly served in the wars of his time. In 1372 he had gone on board the King's fleet, but falling suddenly and dangerously ill, and being unable to continue his sea voyage, he was compelled to go ashore at the town of Rye; whereupon, the circumstances of his case having first been returned into the Chancery under the seal of Simon Burgh, Constable of Rochester Castle, a writ was sent to the mayor and bailiffs of the town to exonerate him from blame, and instructing them to allow him, with John Heton, his esquire, and his two valets, to return home with all his equipage unmolested. He was Constable of the Castle of Knaresborough, and Lieutenant and Master Forester of the forest of Knaresborough.

NINTH GENERATION.
9. Sir William Plumpton. [8]

Sir Robert Plumpton was a knight before the 15th of January, 1410-11, and as such was chosen to represent the shire of York in the Parliament which met on the 3d of November, 1411. In 1414, he was Seneschal of the Honour of Knaresborough, as also one of the Council of the King of his Duchy of Lancaster. In 1415, he was retained to serve the Duke of Bedford for life, "in peace and in war."
In 1416, 4 Henry V., Sir Robert de Plompton was Steward of the Forest of Knaresborough, as well as Seneschal of the Honour.
He was at the muster of the forces of King Henry V. at Southhampton in April, 1419, and departed for the war in France, in the retinue of the Lord Fitzhugh. He was in England the last of August. . . .
TENTH GENERATION.
10. Sir Robert Plumpton. [9]
William (11); b. Oct. 7, 1404, d. Oct. 15, 1480; m. first, Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Bryan Stapilton kt.; m. second, Joan, dau. of Thomas Wintringham of Wintringham Hall, Knaresborough. Shortly after attaining his majority, he set out for the wars in France; from which service he had returned but just before 28 Sept. 9 Hen. VI. 1430, being then a knight.
Sir William Plumpton was Seneschal and Master Forester of the Honour and Forest, and Constable of the Castle, of Knaresborough. The Correspondence of Sir William Plumpton, any more than the facts elicited in the memoir, presents his character in no very favorable light. He added to his vast wealth, and raised himself to some degree of eminence; a strong proof of which may be found in the license he obtained from King Edward IV. to embattle his manor-place at Plumpton, and to enclose a park there, with liberty of warren and chase. The edifice thus built is noticed by the antiquary Leland in his Itinerary, in these words: "From Gnarresborrow over Nid river almost al by wood a mile to Pluntone, where is a park and a fair house of stone with 2 toures longging to the same." At the visitation of St. George Norroy, in 1612, there was remaining in the Hall at Sir Edward Plumpton's, this shield, "quarterly, Plumpton and Foljambe, impaling Stapleton with the mullet," the armorial bearings of this Sir William Plumpton and his first wife Elizabeth Stapleton. In the chapel were the coats, Plumpton impaling Clifford--Darell impaling Plumpton--Hamerton impaling Plumpton--and "Argent, a fess between three wolves heads erased Gules;" perhaps, the arms of office of the Master Forester of Knaresborough Forest. . . .
