STRADLING FAMILY HISTORY FOLLOWS: ¬âˆ‘ 9 August 2016 ¬âˆ‘ STRADLING FAMILY
August 7, 2016
(More Stradling·Äôs before 1400)
The earliest existing record of the Stradling family concerns Sir John Stradling who died in 1292. In recognition of his valuable services, Edward I paid considerable debts which Sir John owed to the Italian bankers, the Riccardi of Lycca. Other records of that time show that the family fortunes were restored by the marriage of Sir Peter to a rich Heiress (Joan, daughter of Thomas Hawey) through whom he inherited the castle of St. Donats. It would seem that from then onwards they were a family of great influence in Britain, adding many other manors to their estates by marrying into other equally rich and influential families. Like all great families of those times they served with distinction in the army and navy were scholarly and encouraged the pursuit of learning. Most of the Stradlingမs served as members of parliament and Sherriffs of Glamorgan in the 16th and 17th centuries. St. Donat's Castle that was home to the Stradlingမs (since 1298, when it was passed to Sir Peter Stradley through his marriage to Joan de Hawey) is in Glamorganshire, Wales. Here is a brief history, below. The Stradling family are thought to have come to Wales from Strättligen, near Thun in Switzerland, in the thirteenth century, following Otton de Grandson, according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stradling_Baronets). The Stradlingမs of St. Donat's 1292 - 1738. http://www.stradling.org.uk/docs/O_r_3.htm The history of every castle is built around that of those who occupied it. The Stradling family were at St Donat's for more than four centuries and the story of their lives gives a living tradition to this ancient castle. What kind of men were they? The earliest existing record of this family concerns Sir John Stradling who died in 1292. In recognition of his valuable services, Edward I paid considerable debts which Sir John owed to the Italian bankers, the Riccardi of Lycca. Other records of that time show that the family fortunes were restored by the marriage of Sir Peter to a rich heiress (Joan, daughter of Thomas Hawey) through whom he inherited the castle of St Donatမs. It would seem that from then onwards they were a family of great influence in Britain, adding many other manors to their estates by marrying into other equally rich and influential families. Like all great families of those times they served with distinction in the army and navy, were scholarly and encouraged the pursuit of learning. (In the early 17th century, Sir John - third of that name - founded the Grammar School at Cowbridge). They were devout and loyal both in their religion and sovereign, although this often brought hardships, but they accepted any adversity on such occasions with fortitude. They travelled extensively and four in successive generations made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem and became Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. In 1476, Sir Harry, aged 24, died on his return journey and was buried at Famagusta in Cyprus. They probably reached the peak of their influence in the reign of Elizabeth I, and indication of which is to be seen in the printed volume of the "Stradling Correspondence", which includes personal letters to the fifth Sir Edward from such notable men as Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Philip Sydney, Sir Francis Walsingham, Robert Dudley, Sir Richard Grenville, William Cecil, and Sir Francis Drake. Existing records concerning their activities in public life are very incomplete, particularly during the earlier period, but from those still available, it is clear that this family took a prominent part. In the religious sphere, one was the Archdeacon of Llandaff, another suffered imprisonment in the Tower of London from 1561 to 1563, for refusing to change his religious beliefs, Georgius Stradling was Dean of Chichester and Gloucester and Prebendary of Westminster Abbey, where he was buried on 9/4/1688. Among the scholars were the 5th Sir Edward, educated at Jesus College Oxford, who became an Historian and wrote many books and poems. And Sir John who became a commoner of Brasenose College in 1579, aged 16, graduated in the arts in 1583 from Magdalen College and was "accounted a miracle for his forwardness in learning and pregnancy of parts.ဝ Most of the Stradlingမs served as members of parliament and Sherriffs of Glamorgan in the 16th and 17th centuries, much as they had done in the 14th and 15th centuries in Somerset and Dorset where their chief estates were then. Many distinguished themselves in military services. It is probable that Sir Peter was at the siege of Acre in 1292, serving under Sir Otto de Grandison who commanded the British contingent of the international force. Sir Thomas was a Muster-master to Queen Elizabethမs army. The 6th Sir Edward a Colonel of the foot at the battle of Edgehill; one of his brothers, Thomas, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Royalist army, John a Captain under the Duke of Buckingham at the battle of the Rhee and Sir Harry was Captain of the Royal Ship "Bonaventure". Personal letters to this Sir Harry signed by Charles the first and Prince Rupert are still in existence (Shardloes Papers), and of him Lord Clarence wrote " He and Kitley were the only Captains Parliament could not corrupt.ဝ Francis was a Captain of the foot in Ireland: the 7th Sir Edward brought a troop of horse to the King's aid at the battle of Newbury, his brother John, a Major-General, led the Royalist forces at St. Fagans, 1684, and his other brother was a Colonel of the foot under Charles II. The family roll of honour after the Civil War included both the 6th and 7th Edward (buried at Jesus College, Oxford), one John buried on the Island of Rhee, and another buried at Windsor Castle, and Sir Harry buried in Ireland. +

Mike Salter 1991 In the 13th century St Donats was held by the de Haweys family who also had estates in Somerset and Dorset. The heiress John de Hawey married Sir Peter de Stratelynge (Stradling), a Swiss who was in command of the castle at Neath in 1296. He died soon afterwards so it was either his sons or Joan's second husband John de Pembridge who built the castle in the early 14th century. In the late 14th century, Edward Stradling was twice Sheriff of Glamorgan and his wife Gwenllian Berkerolles inherited Coity Castle. Their grandson Edward married a daughter of Henry VI's great uncle Cardinal Beaufort and became Chamberlain of South Wales in 1423. He died on pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1453, four years after his son Henry was captured by the pirate Colyn Dolphyn while sailing to Wales from Somerset and had to be ransomed. Henry married Elizabeth Herbert of Raglan and their son Thomas died young, leaving a widow who married Sir Rhys ap Thomas. Sir Rhys became guardian of Edward, the heir, later infamous for his numerous and lawless illegitimate sons.
