Notities over Hugh Sir Luttrell

Sir Hugh Luttrell served in France with Richard II and Henry IV, and held a spectrum of appointments. He was, in succession, Lieut. of Calain, Mayor of Bordeaux, Govenor of Marfluer, and Great Sentinel of Normandy. He was M.P. (Member of Parliament) for Somersetshire in the reign of Richard II, and subsequently for Devonshire. On the death of his cousin, John, he inherited East Quantoxhead, and when Old Lady de Mohun died in 1404, hastened to pursue his claim to Dunster. He began by dispatching the tenants and moving into the Castle in time to celebrate Christmas 1405. This stung the Mohuns into action and they followed a scramble for the deeds of title of the Castle, entrusted to the Prior of Christ Church, Canterbury. Sir Hugh took the Prior to court and eventually obtained the documents which prove his right to the Castle.
The Mohun coheirs, the Duke of York, the Countess of Salisbury and Lord Strange of Knockin-a formidable trio, still argued the validity of the transaction. Sir Hugh was not easily panicked; he won Parliament onto his side and so arranged arbitration by two peers and all the justices. When this failed, Parliament insisted the claim should be heard in the ordinary courts before an impartial jury. By this time, the Mohun's case was wearing thin and they resorted to arguing legal technicalities. It is nevertheless disappointing to find that the story lacks a climax; the case was adjourned in 1407 after the first hearing and was never recommenced. Henceforth, Sir Hugh's right to Dunster was unchallenged. He worked hard to make his new home habitual; and on his first note was to install windows in the neat hall and his private quarters. In 1420 work began on the gatehouse, a symbol of property of the newowner of the Castle. (Guidebooks of the Castle show the interiors, portraits, furniture, etx., which have been in the family since his time.)
He was afterwards ranger of Blackmore forest in Dorsetshire, a privy councilor to Henry V., and on of the commanders under that martial monarch at the reduction of Harfleur in Normandy in 1415, and at the memorable siege of Rouen.
