Geoffrey de Luterel

Geoffrey de Luterel

Sir Geoffrey de Luterel (died c. 1216) was a courtier and confidante of King John, whom he served as a minister.

He married Frethesant Paynel (sometimes spelt Paganel) in about 1200 and by that marriage acquired estates at Irnham, Lincolnshire, East Quantockshead, Somerset, and in Yorkshire.

He travelled with the King on missions to Ireland and Italy and in about 1210 was granted lands near Dublin, Ireland where he established the township of Luttrellstown. He was head of the three main branches of the Luttrell family. The Irnham branch became extinct in about 1418 but Luttrellstown and Luttrellstown Castle were held by his descendants for almost 600 years. The East Quantockshead family went on to acquire Dunster Castle in 1376 and held it until it became a National Trust property in 1976.
