William Stourton, 2nd Baron Stourton (c. 1430-1479) was the son of John Stourton and Marjory Wadham. He succeeded to his father's title in 1462. His father had been a supporter of the House of Lancaster,〔Weir, Alison ''Lancaster and York'' Arrow Books 1996 p.166〕 but William enjoyed the confidence of Edward IV. In 1469 he sat on the commission of oyer and terminer which condemned Henry Courtenay and Thomas Hungerford of Rowden to death for treason.〔Ross, Charles ''Edward IV'' Eyre Methuen Ltd. 1974 p.123〕 He was also close to the King's brother-in-law John de la Pole, 2nd Duke of Suffolk, and two Stourton-de la Pole marriages took place in the next generation. He married Margaret Chidiock (born about 1425) daughter of Sir John Chidiock, sometimes styled Baron FitzPayne, and Catherine Lumley; they had at least three sons: *John, became Baron in 1479. *William, became Baron in 1487. *Edward, became Baron in 1523 and two daughters: *Katherine, who married firstly Sir William Berkeley, secondly Henry Grey, 4th (7th) Baron Grey of Codnor, and thirdly William de la Pole. *Joan, who married Tristram Fauntleroy ==References== * Kidd, Charles and David Williamson (editors).
