| | Charles STOURTON (8º B. Stourton of Stourton) |
 | | In the reign of Edward VI, William Lord Stourton, having charge of one of the King's places near Boulogne, died; and shortly after his death, Charles, Lord Stourton, his son and heir, went to Kilmington, to the house of William Hartgill, Esq. |
 | | This at last became a subject of Star Chamber inquiry, and Lord Stourton was fined in a certain sum to be paid to the Hartgills, and imprisoned in the Fleet, whence he obtained licence, upon some pretence, to retire to his house in the country, and took an oppoortunity to murder both the Hartgills. |
 | | Lord Stourton was accordingly executed on the 6 Mar, in the market place at Salisbury, and his four men in the country near the place where the murder was committed; and previous to his death he made great lamentation for his wilful and impious deeds. |
