Notes for this person

Edward Hungerford (Sir) Born: ABT 1472, Heytesbury, Wiltshire, England Died: 24 Jan 1521/2, Heytesbury, Wiltshire, England Notes: inherited Farleigh castle in 1516. Married 3 times. Sir Edward left his estate to his widow, Agnes, but she was arrested and hanged at Tyburn in 1523 on a charge of arranging the murder of her previous husband, John Cotell. John Cotell was strangled by two men from Heytesbury and his remains burnt in the kitchen furnace. It's difficult to tell at this distance whether Agnes was guilty or innocent - but her accusers waited five years - until she no longer had the protection of her second husband - before bringing any charge. It smells like a vendetta. http://en.wikipedia.org
