BURYTON, William, of Hereford and Stoke Lacy, Herefs.

Family and Education

prob. s. of Thomas Buryton† of Hereford. m. Joan (fl. 1451), The earlier biography (The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 446-7) suggests, on the evidence of a visitation pedigree, that his w. was Esther, da. or sis. of ‘Sir William Downton’, but, aside from the intrinsic unlikelihood of a townsman’s marriage to a knight’s da., contemporary evidence shows that his w. and the mother of his children was named Joan: Reg. Spofford (Canterbury and York Soc. xxiii), 292. The MP is to be distinguished from William, son of Oliver Buryton of Salop, who was retained by William Beauchamp, Lord Abergavenny, in 1401 and continued to receive his fee of £5 p.a. to the death of Lord Abergavenny’s widow, Joan, in 1435: CPR, 1399-1401, p. 538; SC11/25; CIPM, xxiv. 514. 2s.
