Saint Mary Aldermary.
Here lieth buried,* 1.1 Sir Charles Blount, or Blunt, Baron Mountioy, who died 1544. With this Epitaph made by himselfe a little before his death.
Wilingly haue I sought, and willingly haue I found,The fatall end that wrought thither as dutie bound:Discharg'd I am of that I ought to my countrey by honest wound.My soule departyd Christ hath bought: the end of man is ground.
This familie of the Blunts is noble and ancient,* 1.2 surnamed so at the first of the yellow haire of their head; Blunt signifying so in the Norman lan∣guage; they greatly flourished at Kinlet in Shropshire, and by Elwaston in Darbishire,* 1.3 where Sir Raph Mountioy had lands in the time of Edward the first: from whence came Sir Walter Blunt, whom King Edward the fourth aduanced to the honour of Baron Mountioy, with a pension. Whose poste∣ritie haue equalled the Nobilitie of their birth, with the ornaments of lear∣ning; and principally amongst them, Charles late Earle of Deuonshire de∣ceased; Baron Mountioy, Lord Lieutenant generall of Ireland, and knight of the honourable order of the Garter: whose sonne Mountioy Blunt enioy∣eth his lands: who by the speciall fauour of our late Soueraigne King Iames was created Baron of Montioy in the North of Ireland. Here also lieth bu∣ried William Blunt, Lord Mountioy, who died but of later times.
