Notities over Walter BLOUNT

Walter le Blount became a noted soldier, and appears to have attained great wealth. He was knighted before Mar 1371/72, and in Jan 1372/73, John of Gaunt appointed him constable of Tutbury Castle for life. The following May he entered into a contract to serve the Duke, in peace and in war, for the term of his life. Soon after his marriage he acquired lands from his brother, John, which appear to have been part of the Mountjoy property. He was Justice of the Peace for Staffordshire, 1380, and for Derbyshire in 1388, and in 1386 he was setting out for Spain with his patron. He was chosen a Knight of the Shire for Derby in 1399, after the accession of Henry IV, who continued him in favor. In Feb 1399/1400, he was receiving instructions for an embassy to Portugal, Spain, and Aragon. In 1401 the King sent him to Ireland in attendance on his son Thomas of Lancaster, whom he made Lieutenant. When Percy revolted in 1403, Walter le Blount fought for the King at Shrewsbury 21 Jul, and was slain.
