Edward Sutton didn't have a fortune to waste, his grandfather did that. His
grandfather, John Sutton c1495-1553, 3rd Lord Dudley, was a half-wit, nicknamed
'Lord Quondam', who sold much of the family landholdings. His wife, Cicely
Grey, so disliked him that she requested to be buried in her own family plot
under her maiden name!
