This article does not cite any sources. (February 2013) |
William Stourton, 11th Baron Stourton (c. 1594 – 25 April 1672) was the son of Edward Stourton and Frances Tresham. He married Frances Moore (d. 5 January 1662), daughter of Sir Edward More. William and Frances had five children;
- William
- Mary (d. 1650); married Sir John Weld
- Frances; was a nun
- Edward (1617 – January 1644); married and had issue
- Thomas (d. 1684, in Paris); was a monk
His eldest son William died young and childless, and he was succeeded by his grandson William, son of Edward.
William was a royalist and a papist, and suffered heavily due to this. Stourhead, his home, was at one point garrisoned for the King and then, in September 1644, was ravaged by General Ludlow.
