The issue of the union was three sons—I. Robert, ancestor of the Lords of Cottingham, extinct in the male line temp. Henry III.; II. Osmund, progenitor of the Stutevilles of Dalham-hall, Suffolk, one of whom, Sir Martin Stuteville, served as sheriff of that county 10 James 1.; and III. Patrick, who, receiving from his father the lands of Skipwith, assumed his name therefrom, and founded the great house of Skipwith of Skipwith, now represented by Sir Gray Skipwith, Bart., of Prestwould, co. Leicester. The four daughters and co-heirs of Thomas Stuteville, Esq., a descendant of the Dalham line, married four
