Person:Edmund Carew (1)

Timelines

c.1464 – Birth: "EDMUND CAREW ... son and heir, [(of) "Sir Nicholas Carew, Baron Carew, of Carew Castle, Pembrokeshire, Ottery Mohun (in Luppit), Devon ... (by) Margaret Dinham, eldest daughter of John Dinham, Knt., of Hartland, Kingskerwell, and Nutwell, Devon." ] born about 1461–1464 (aged 6 in 1470, aged 40 in 1501)." This from Douglas Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families, Vol. 1 (2011),^[2] which must be deriving the "aged 6 in 1470" from the same "inquisition on his father's death" as relied upon in Vol. 3 of The Dictionary of National Biography (1921–1922, ed. Sir Leslie Stephen),^[1] which states: "The inquisition on his father's death (16 Nov. 1470) states that Edmund was six years old at the time." Both of which therefore conclude the year of his birth to be 1464. [ Unless of course he was actually "aged 40 in 1501" ] However, Vivian's The Visitation of the County of Cornwall, in the Year 1620 (1874) ^[3] appears to prefer 1465 as the year of his birth: "... Edmund Bar. Carew æt. 6. 11 Ed. IV. ...." [Edmund, Baron Carew, of age 6 in the 11th year of the reign of King Edward IV (1461–1483).] So the question remains whether Edmund Carew was six years old in the year of his father's death (1470) or in the 11th year (1471) of the reign of King Edward IV (1461–1483).

1478 – "In a pre-nuptial agreement dated 26 Dec 1478 between Dame Jane Dynham, late wife of John Dynham Knt, and William Huddesfield, king's attorney, it was agreed that Edmund Carew, son and heir of Nicholas Carew Baron of Carew, shall marry Katherine, daughter of William Huddesfield before the 4th day upon the feast of St Hilary next (16th January 1978/79); ...." ^[7]

1478/79 – "... He married before 16 Jan. 1478/9 (by settlement dated 26 Dec. 1478) KATHERINE HUDDESFIELD, daughter and co-heiress of William Huddesfield, Knt., of Shillingford, Farrington, Widecombe in the Moor, and Witheridge, Devon, Recorder of Exeter, 1479–82, attorney General to kings Edward IV and Henry VII. ...." ^[2]

1485 – "... (Edmund) Carew was an adherent of Henry VII, and was knighted at the battle of Bosworth Field for his valour. ...." ^[1]

1497 – "... In 1497 he marched to the relief of Exeter when that city was besieged by the pretender Perkin Warbeck, The same year he sold the manor of Amport, Hampshire to Bartholomew Reed. He was alegatee in the 1497 will of his grandmother, Lady Joan Dinham. ..." ^[2]

1501 – "... He was co-heir in 1501 to his uncle, John Dinham, K.G., Lord Dinham, Treasurer of the Exchequer. ...." ^[2]

1513 – "... In 1513 he accompanied King Henry VIII in his expedition to France. To equip himself as Master of the Ordnance for the expedition, he mortgaged Carew Castle and 7 other manors in Wales to Sir Rhys ap Thomas. ...." ^[2]

1513 – Death: Sir Edmund, Baron Carew was killed by a cannon ball as he sat in council at the Siege of Thérouanne in France on the 22nd of June – according to at least one source; ^{[1] [5]} or two days later on the 24th – according to others. ^{[2] [6]}

   « CAREW, Sir EDMUND (1464–1513), soldier, was the son of Sir Nicholas Carew, baron Carew, of Mohuns Ottery, Devonshire, who died on 16 Nov. 1470, and grandson of Sir John Carew [q.v.] The inquisition on his father's death states that Edmund was six years old at the time. ...
   Carew was an adherent of Henry VII, and was knighted at the battle of Bosworth Field for his valour. In 1497 he marched to the relief of Exeter when that city was besieged by the pretender Perkin Warbeck, and he lost his life in the service of King Henry's son and successor, being killed by a shot in Lord Herbert's tent at the siege of Thérouanne on 22 June 1513. The only other public service in which he is known to have been engaged was going to meet the commissioners from France who came to treat for peace in 1492. He married Katherine, daughter of Sir William Huddlesfield of Shillingford, solicitor-general and attorney-general to Edward IV. Their issue was four sons and four daughters. The former were: William, father of Sir Peter Carew [q.v.]; Thomas, of Bickleigh; George, dean of Exeter and Windsor, father of George, earl of Totnes [q.v.]; and Gawen, ob. 1583, s. p. The daughters were: Dorothy, married to John Stowell; Katherine, married to Sir Philip Champernoun; Isabel and Ann.
