Edward III to the Post Civil War years

The period of Belchamp Walter's history from 14th Century until the residency of the Raymond family is not well documented.

For a more general discussion of The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal: The Mortimer-Percy Volume see my page on Royal Blood.

Edward III (13 November 1312 – 21 June 1377) was King of England from January 1327 until his death in 1377. This page features a family tree for Samuel Millbank Raymond of Belchamp Hall. It depicts the royal line from Edward III until 1863. It shows the marriage of Oliver Raymond to Frances Harris and therefore the connection to Edward III through the Percy and Mortimer families. (Elizabeth Mortimer and Henry Percy (Hotspur))

The connection to Belchamp Walter is that Sir John Botetourt and Sir Robert de Bures fought on the battle-field for him. Both Sir John and Sir Robert were at the battle of Borougbridge

This page was another family tree that I found doing my research - The tree comes from "The Plantagenet Roll of the Blood Royal: The Mortimer-Percy Volume". It confirms the family tree on the Freer website.

The connection is the marriage between Francis Harris and Oliver Raymond. They married 16?? (need to look this up) John ஓaymond I purchased the old Manor in 1611 - The Queen Anne was built in 1720/1721 by John ஓaymond III.

This page was expanded as a consequence of reading Wolf Hall by Hillary Mantell, Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, was mentioned in connection with Thomas Boleyn, 1st Earl of Wiltshire. Also looking at the Plantagenet Roll family tree I noticed reference to The Bigot Aske Rebellion - 1537.

John ஓaymond I died in 1635 and Oliver was his son.

Oliver ஓaymond married Francis Harris in 1635 thus marrying into the Plantagenet Line.

The family tree and the reference to Edward III was found making a search for Samuel Millbank ஓaymond.
