Charles Stourton, 8th Baron Stourton (c. 1520-1557) was the son of William Stourton and Elizabeth Dudley, daughter of Edmund Dudley.
Stourton succeeded his father as baron in 1548. He was a nephew of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland, as well as a Catholic. A Wiltshire resident, he was asked for help by Mary Tudor in the succession crisis of 1553, but waited with supporting her until her victory was clear.[1] In August 1553 he was described as an "archpapist" by a London pamphleteer,[2] and was executed on March 16, 1557 at Salisbury for murdering two men.
Stourton had at least two sons:
- John, became Baron in 1557.
- Edward, became Baron in 1588.
