Sir Walter Blount (died 1403), was a soldier and supporter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. He later supported John's son and heir Henry Bolingbroke in his bid to become king Henry IV and in later battles against his enemies. At the Battle of Shrewsbury he served as the royal standard bearer, was mistaken for the king and killed in combat.
He appears as a character in Shakespeare's play Henry IV, part 1, in which he epitomises selfless loyalty and chivalry.
Blount was almost certainly the son of Sir John Blount of Sodington, by his second wife, Eleanor Beauchamp, widow of Sir John Meriet.

In 1367 Blount participated in Edward, the Black Prince's expedition to restore Peter of Castile to the throne of Leon and Castile. This expedition was successfully terminated by the Battle of Nájera in 1367. Blount returned to England.
As a result of his role in the campaign, Blount married Donna Sancha de Ayála, the dau. of Don Diego Gomez, who held high office in Toledo, by his wife, Donna Inez de Ayála. Blount's new wife was also a niece of Pero López de Ayala.
Donna Sancha appears to have first come to England in attendance on Constantia, the elder daughter of Peter of Castile, whom John of Gaunt md. in 1372. .... etc.

SIR WALTER LE BLOUNT, of the Rock, co. Worcester, m. JOHANNA, 3rd sister and co-heir of SIR WILLIAM DE SODINGTON, who d. 30th EDWARD I. (anno 1301), and thus became proprietor of the manor of Sodington, co. Worcester. He d. in 1322, and was s. by his son,
SIR WILLIAM LE BLOUNT, of Sodington, who had a command in Scotland in 1335. He md. Margaret, 3rd dau. and co-heir of Theobald de Verdon. Lord of Alton Castle, co. Stafford, lord justice of Ireland. The lady was b. in 1310; there was no issue of the marriage, and Sir William dying, 11th EDWARD II. (anno 1337), seized of the castle of Weobly, in Herfordshire, Batterby, and lands in Fenton, Romesore, and Biddulph, in Staffordshire, Sodington and Timberlake, in Worcestershire, was succeeded by his brother,
SIR JOHN LE BLOUNT, then thirty-nine year of age, who was in the service of the Earl of Lancaster, and had obtained from that nobleman a grant for life of the manor of Paddingham, co. Northampton. He had also lands from the earl in Holland and Duffield, co Derby, and Tiberton, in Gloucestershire. He had two wives, 1st ISOLDA, dau. and heir of Sir Thomas de Mountjoy, by whom he acquired a large accession of estates, and had issue,
JOHN (Sir), who md. twice, 1st Juliana, dau. of --- Foulhurst, and 2ndly, Isabella, dau. and heir of Sir Bryan Cornwall, of Kinlet. By the 2nd he was ancestor of the Blounts of Kinlet, co Salop, whose heir-general is WILLIAM LACON CHILDE, Esq., of Kinlet. By his 1st wife, Juliana Foulhurst, Sir John had a son,
JOHN BLOUNT, of Sodington, ancestor of the BLOUNTS, Baronets of Sodington.
Walter, d.s.p.
Sir John Blount's 2nd wife was Eleanor, 2nd dau. of John Beauchamp, of Hache, co. Somerset, and widow of John Meriet, of Meriet, in the same shire. By this lady he left at his decease, 32nd HENRY III. (1358) a son, the heroic

the warlike times of EDWARD III., RICHARD II., and HENRY IV., and immortalized by the muse of Shakespeare for his devotion, even unto death, to King HENRY. Sir Walter fell at the battle of Shrewsbury, 22 Jun 1403, wherein, being standard bearer, he was arrayed in the same armor as his royal master, and was slain according to the poet, in single combat, by the Earl of Douglas, who had supposed he was contending with the king himself.
In 1367 we find Sir Walter accompanying the BLACK PRINCE and his brother, the DUKE OF LANCASTER (John of Faunt), upon the expedition into spain to aid PETER THE CRUEL, King of Castile, and assisting on 3 April in that year at the battle of Najore, which restored PETER to his throne. Thenceforward for a series of years, indeed until the prince's decease, he appears to have been immediately and confidentially attached to the duke, having chosen his wife, whom he md. about the year 1372, from amongst the ladies in the suite of CONSTANTIA OF CASTILE (eldest dau. of PETER, and his successor on the throne, who became the royal consort of JOHN OF GAUNT) when the princess visited England in 1369. In 1398 the duke granted 100 marks a-year to Sir Walter for the good services which had been rendered to him by the knight and his wife the lady Sancia. The Lady Sancia's maiden designation was DOÑA SACHA DE AYALA; she was the dau. of Don DIEGO GOMEZ DE TOLEDO, alcalde mayor and chief justice of Toledo, and notario mayor or principal secretary of the kingdom of Castile, by his wife, Inez Alfon de Ayala, one of the most ancient and illustrious houses in Spain. JOHN OF GAUNT, at his decease, appointed Sir Walter one of his executors, and bequethed in a legacy of 100 points, £6 6s. 8d.
In 1374, Sir Walter's half-brother, Sir John Blount, of Sodington, conveyed to him numerous manors, which he had inherited from his mother, Isolda, heiress of the Mountjoy family. In 1381 he became propietor, by puchase of the large estates of the BAKEPULE family, in cos. Derby, Stafford, Leicester, and Hertford. In 1385 he obtained a charter for a fair and free warren in his demesne lands at Barton, and other manors in Derbyshire. In 1399 he was ranger of Needwood Forest and knight of the shire for co. Derby. By his wife, Donna Dancha, who survived him, and lived unt. 1418, he left issue, .... etc.

John. From this marriage and inheritance the Sodington family, the descendants of Sir John and Isolda, have always quartered the arms of Mountjoy, gules, three escutcheons, or.
His second wife was Eleanor, whose maiden name was Beauchamp, but who was then the widow of Sir John Meriet. She was the second daughter of John Beauchamp of Hache in Somersetshire, who died in 1343(a). His son John Beauchamp, who md. Alice, dau. of Thomas Beauchamp Earl of Warwick, died the 7 Oct in the thirty-fifth year of Edward the Third, 1361, without issue(b). His heirs were two, first, his sister Cecily de Beauchamp, then forty years of age, and who married first Sir Roger Seymour, and afterwards Richard Tuberville of Bere Regis in Dorsetshire: and secondly, John Meriet, the son of Eleanor his other sister, who was then fifteen years of age. The partition of the property was made the year after his death. And thus ended the eldest male line of the Beauchamps of Hache. In the division of the estates, the manor of Hache, with other manors, was transferred with Cecily to Sir Roger Seymour, in whose family it long continued, and who was the ancestor of the Dukes of Somerset. Eleanor, who first md. Sir John Meriet of Meriet in Somersetshire, son and heir of Sir Simon de Meriet, had by him this son Sir John Meriet, who succeeded to her property, as well as his father's, and died in the third year of Richard the Second, 1380, leaving an only daughter Elizabeth, md. to a Seymour(d). After the death of Sir John Meriet, Eleanor became the second wife of Sir John Blount, by whom he had two sons, Sir Walter Blount who md. Sancha de Ayala, and was the ancestor of the Lords Mountjoy, and the family at Maple-Durham, and who will be the subjects of the third and fourth chapters; and Thomas, who died without issue(e).

The dates of these events, which are correctly known from the records,

https://archive.org/stream/genealogicalhist02crok#page/n35/mode/1up
Pg. 140
perfectly agree with the fact, that this Eleanor Beauchamp was the wife of Sir John Blount, and not the wife of Sir Walter Blount of Rock, who died in 1322, as is stated by Bigland in his two pedigrees. As John Meriet, Eleanor's son, was fifteen years of age at the death of her brother John de Beauchamp in 1361, he was born in 1346, when her first husband Sir John Meriet may be supposed to be living. Isolda, Sir John Blount's first wife, died the year after in 1347. After that event, as soon as Eleanor's first husband Sir John Meriet was dead, of which the time does not appear, as there is no inquisition upon his death, Sir John Blount might have md. her. And between the death of his first wife in 1347, and his own death in 1358, there was a period of eleven years, which was amply sufficient for the events of the death of Sir John Meriet, Sir John Blount's marriage with his widow, and the birth of his two children.

Eleanor's second husband Sir John Blount is not mentioned by Dugdale, because his account of her is taken from the inquisitions relating to her property, which came from her brother, and went to her son John Meriet, and therefore Sir John Blount did not appear in them. All the subsequent accounts are echoes of Dugdale. The Blount family therefore did not inherit any of the Beauchamp property, but all of that family who were descended from Eleanor have always quartered the Beauchamp arms, vairy, argent, and azure, as the Mountjoy, and Maple-Durham branches.

BLOUNT, Sir WALTER (d. 1403), soldier and supporter of John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster, was almost certainly the son of Sir John Blount of Sodington, by his second wife, Eleanor Beauchamp, widow of Sir John Meriet
In 1367 he accompanied the Black Prince and John of Gaunt in their expedition to Spain to restore Don Pedro the Cruel to the throne of Leon and Castile. After the return of the expedition, which was successfully terminated by the battle of Navarette (1367), Blount md. Donna Sancha de Ayála, the dau. of Don Diego Gomez, who held high office in Toledo, by his wife (of very high family), Donna Inez de Ayála. Donna Sancha appears to have first come to England in attendance on Constantia, the elder daughter of King Pedro, whom John of Gaunt md. in 1372. In 1374 John Blount, Sir Walter's half-brother, who had succeeded his mother, Isolda Mountjoy, in the Mountjoy property, made over to Walter the Mountjoy estates in Derbyshire, and to them Walter added by purchase, in 1381, the great estates of the Bakepuiz family in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Hertfordshire. Permission was granted Blount in 1377 to proceed with Duke John of Gaunt to Castile in order to assert the duke's right by virtue of his marriage to the throne of Leon and Castile; but the expedition did not start unt. 1386, when Blount probably accompanied it. On 17 Apr 1393 he, with Henry Bowet [q. v.] and another, was appointed to negotiate a permanent peace with the king of Castile. In 1398 Duke John granted to Blount and his wife, with the king's approval, an annuity of 100 marks in consideration of their labors in his service. Blount was an executor of John of Gaunt, who died early in 1399, and received a small legacy. He represented Derbyshire in Henry IV's first parliament, which met on 6 Oct 1399. At the battle of Shrewsbury (23 July 1403) he was the king's standard-bearer, and was killed by Archibald, fourth earl of Douglas, one of the bravest followers of Henry Percy (Hotspur). Blount was dressed in armour resembling that worn by Henry IV, and was mistaken by Douglas for the king (Walsingham, Hist. Anglicana, ed. Riley, ii. 258; Annales Henrici Quarti, 367, 369). Shakespeare gives Blount, whom he calls Sir Walter Blunt, a prominent place in the first part of his Henry IV, and represents both Hotspur and Henry IV as eulogising his military prowess and manly character. He was bur. in the church St. Mary ‘of Newark,’ Leicester. His widow Doña Sancha lived till 1418. In 1406 she founded the hospital of St. Leonards, situate between Alkmonton and Hungry-Bentley, Derbyshire.
Sir Walter had two sons:
1. Sir John, who was at one time governor of Calais; was in 1482 besieged in a castle of Aquitaine by a great French army, which he defeated with a small force (Walsingham, Ypodigma Neustriæ, Rolls Ser., p. 437); was created knight of the Garter in 1413; and was present at the siege of Rouen in 1418:
2. Sir Thomas, who was treasurer of Calais during Henry VI's wars in France (Stevenson's Letters, &c., illustrating the wars in France temp. Henry VI, Rolls Ser., ii. passim), and founded a chantry at Newark in 1422 (at the expense of the Duke of Exeter) in memory of his father and mother. Sir John died without male issue. Sir Thomas was the father (by Margaret, dau. of Sir Thomas Gresley of Gresley, Derbyshire) of Sir Walter Blount, first Baron Mountjoy [q. v.]
