Andrew Luttrell is almost certainly an ancestor of Geoffrey de Luttrell, who was a Norman baron around 1215.He was one the lower barons signing the Magna Carta in 1215.He also was an envoy of King John to the Pope that same year.The Luttrell's obtained Dunster Castle from the Mohun family late in the 1300's.The Luttrell's arrived in England, from Normandy, around the time of William the Conqueror's battle at Hastings and may have participated in the actual battle of Hastings.The Irish Luttrell's arealso of the same bloodline.I have been to Dunster and can provide more info on request.
