Boteler of Ireland.

ANother Family there was of this Name, so assumed by reason of that great Office of Butler of Ireland, which some of them boe. These do derive their Descent from Theo∣bald Walter, and Maude his Wife (Sister to the Fa∣mous Thomas Becket,ometime Archbishop of Can∣terbury.) But forasmuch as none of them have been Barons of this Realm till of late time, nor dig∣nified with any other Title relating thereto, until Sir Iames Boteler Knight, Son and Heir to Iames Earl of Ormund (in Ireland) was created Earl of Wiltshire, in 27 H. 6. I cannot properly take no∣tice of them.
