HORTON - WHITTINGTON line around 1600 (reply)

Dick Whittington, local boy made good, (at least) thrice Lord Mayor of London, (1393, 1406 and 1417), was born at Pauntley about 1357,
the third son of William Whittington, Lord of Pauntley. In 1352 William had married Joan, the daughter of William Mansell,
Sheriff of Gloucestershire, and widow of Sir Thomas (de) Berkeley, of Coberley, but whilst Richard was still a child,
his father William was outlawed (allegedly) for marrying without a licence. It would have required a crippling fine to
redeem his outlawry, and at the time the selling of rich widows was a lucrative business. He died, still an outlaw in
1358/9 (one source says 1362), and when his widow died, the estate she'd inherited went to their second son Robert.

In spite of being born the son of a Lord, Dick was, therefore the poor boy of legend, and literally the "local boy makes good".
In London, he'd enrolled as an apprentice in the Mercer's Company, and married the daughter of his master,
Alice Fitzwarren. Her father was Lord Ivo FitzWarin, for whom there is what is described as one of the finest monumental brasses in England in the parish church at Wantage, Berkshire.

He bore the arms of the Pauntley family with a mark of cadency and a different tincture and crest. He was a citizen, a Mercer by trade, Alderman and Lord Mayor of London. He began his career under favorable circumstances, acquiring wealth and commercial importance, and was famous for his establishment of churches and libraries and especially for his prison reforms. On December 18, 1411, the charter was issued for Whittington College, dedicated to the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mary, at St. Michael de Paternoster Church (Royal). The college was dissolved in 1548 and the building sold for 92 pounds. There is no proof that he was ever knighted.

He and Alice were childless and their wealth was bequeathed to charitable and public purposes: building Greyfriars library; repairing St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and other deeds. Written not long after his death is an allusion to him in Gregory's Chronicle as "that famos marchant and mercer Richard Whytyndone".
