| Sir Guy Vyteinsen in Normandy | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Sir Richard Vyteinsen in Normandy | ||||||||||||||
| A. | Sir Guy Vyteinsen in Normandy | ||||||||||||||
| i. | Sir Guy de Vytientson in Normandy (a 1070, to England) | ||||||||||||||
| Noting that Guy's grandson's wife is reported to have died in 1284, it is likely that EITHER Guy was very young when he came to England and he & his son did not have their successor until late in life OR there are one or more missing generations OR one or more of the dates is/are wrong. | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Sir Guy de Witinton | ||||||||||||||
| (1) | Sir William Whittington | ||||||||||||||
| m. Maud de Solers (d 1284, dau of John de Solers) | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | Sir William Whittington of Pauntley, Gloucestershire (b c1280, d 1359) | ||||||||||||||
| m. (1352) Joan Mansell (dau of William Mansell, widow of Sir Thomas (de) Berkeley of Coberley) | |||||||||||||||
| Various web sites show Sir Robert, shown below as surgeon to the King and successor to his brother William, as brother of this William even though that Robert was born some 70 years after William's mother died. We presume that there was at least one missing generation. There is clearly some confusion here. VCH (Worcestershire, vol 4, Staunton) mentions William Whittington, who married Catherine Staunton, as brother of Lord Mayor Dick and probably father of Robert who inherited Staunton but possibly brother of that Robert (a 1396, 1429) with William, Robert & Richard's father being a William. | |||||||||||||||
| (i) | Sir William Whittington of Pauntley | ||||||||||||||
| m1. Catherine Staunton (apparently daughter of Robert Staunton of Staunton) | |||||||||||||||
| (a) | William Whittington of Pauntley | ||||||||||||||

| m. Elizabeth Rouse (dau of Baldwyn Rouse) | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation starts with Guy who, by the dau/heir of Pawntley (sic), was father of Guy who, by the dau/heir of Upton of Hasler, was father of the following William. Robert is called William by VCH (Gloucestershire, vol 10, Stonehouse - Manors and other estates) which follows the ownership of Stonehouse Manor through Cicely Browning to Elizabeth who married Sir Giles Poole (see below). | |||||||||||||||
| ((i)) | William Whittington of Pauntley (b c1451) - continued below | ||||||||||||||
| m. Elizabeth Arundell (dau of Humphrey/Reymfrey Arundell) | |||||||||||||||

| (c) | Richard Whittington of Eldersfield, Lord Mayor of London (b c1357, dsp 03.1423, public benefactor) | ||||||||||||||
| This was the famous Dick Whittington. BHO (The Aldermen of the City of London - Aldermen, Knights & Baronets) reports that, despite many reports which suggest otherwise, he was never actually knighted. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Alice Fitzwarren (dau of Sir Ives FitzWarin of Wantage by Maud de Argentine) | |||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||
| William Whittington of Pauntley (b c1451) - continued above | |||||||||||||||

| 1. | John Whittington of Pawntley (Pauntley) (d 1525) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation provides 2 pedigrees for this family, the first shows John 's parentage and shows him as married twice, to Elizabeth Milborne (mother of John, Alexander & Christopher) and to Elizabeth Croftes (mother of Thomas & William). The second starts with John and does not mention the marriage to Elizabeth Croftes, showing Elizabeth Milborne as mother of Thomas, John, Alexander, Margery & Jane. We provisionally combine these as shown below but this is subject to review. | |||||||||||||||
