Lord of the Manor of Taunton, Somersetshire, England His earliest ancestor is reported through oral tradition to be one Baron Edouard LeChute, granted land by William the Conquerer after the Battle of Hastings, although he does not appear on the Battle Abbey Rolls. Another suggestion, from the Chute Genealogies, is that the name is descended from the descendants of Hengist and Horsa, of the Jutes, the same ancestor that the entire House of Saxony derives its royal line. According to oral tradition, the first documented Chute is Alexander Chewte, "Lord of the Manor", Taunton, his year of death recorded as 1268. Reportedly, the "Manor " was built by a grandson of Baron Edouard. Unfortunately , even Alexander's story is doubtful. Why? According to both the Domesday records, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and confirmed by David Bromwich, a local historian, there were no "Lords of the Manor" in the traditional sense at that time - the property of Taunton was owned by the Bishos of Winchester, before and after the Norman Invasion. Alexander could have, on the other hand, been a tenant, a constable, a caretaker or a lay assistant to a Bishop. "Lord of th e Manor" he wasn't. Peter Des Roches (d. 9 Jun 1238) , William De Raley, and possibly Bishop Aymer of Winchester (d . 1280) would have been among the Bishops during his life time. If Alexander did live, and eventually die, in Taunton , in 1268 ... he may have been alive in 1226, when Peter des Roches and William Brewer, the Bishop of Exeter, led a group of crusaders from England to the Holy Land. Their journey lasted five years; although the group was in Jerusalem when Sultan Kameel agreed to surrender the Holy City. If not a participant, he certainly would have been aware o f it.
