H e I s said to have m. thirdly Isabel, or Elizabeth, da. of John (IIussey), Loitu UnsSBT de Sleafoud, by Anne, da. of George (Grey), Earl of Kknt. Being apparently involved in the (so called) treason of Thomas (Cromwell), Earl of Esses, he was with him (without any defenceC) being allowed) executed on Tower hill 28 July 1541, and having been attainted by rail, the Jinronu and all his estates became fotftitedp.) ( a ) He was s. and h. of Sir Walter Hungerford (2d s. of Robert, 3d Lord Hunger* ford), who for his betrayal of the cause of Richard III. received from Hen. VII. many of the family estates forfeited by his father and elder brother. ( b ) A second wife, Alice, is sometimes attributed to this Edward, being the " Dna Alicia II iinycrfm-th ; oh. SO Feb lSjtS [sutpendit apud Tt/inme "] i.e., hung for poisoning herhusband-- but as to this lady see " Elm. Tup. el Gen. vol. v, p. 31)1, note " i, and also " Gent. Mug." (Dec. 1S51), vol. 36, N.S., p. 625. It has even been conjectured that this lady was Alice, second wife of Walter, Lord Hungerford of Heytesbury (who (/. 1541) and that she was hung for intent (merely) to murder. The will of Sir Edward dat. 14 Dec. 1521, and pr. 22 Jan. 1521/2, directs his burial to be at Heytesbury " near my wife Agnes." Cull. Top. ct Gen., vol. vii, p. 71. (°) See note " b " next above as to a conjecture concerning this lady. ('') The crimes laid to his charge were (1) retaining a chaplain who had called the King a heretic (2) endeavouring to ascertain by conjuration how long the King would live and (3) being guilty of unnatural crime. Banks (in his Bar. Any. Cone, vol. i, p. 260), very aptly suggests that the crimes seem to have been " rather preferred to get possession of his great estate than fur the seriousness of their oH'enee." ( c ) His 8. and h., Sir Walter Hungerford, obtained, soon afterwards, a reversal of tho attainder as far as blood (but not the honours) were concerned in 1543 -14 (84 and 35 Hen. VIII.), and recovered the lands. He d. s.p.m.s. in 1596 and was sue. in the estates by Ids br., Sir Edward Hungerford (Gent.

This Sir Edward d. s.p. 23 Oct. 1648, aged 52, being tkro' his mother the last descendant of the purchaser of Farleigh Hungeiford.
