Eulalia GLANVILLE

Est 1571 - 1591  (~ 20 years)

 Set As Default Person

• Name	Eulalia GLANVILLE
  Relationship	with Teresa Ann GOATHAM
  Born	Est 1571
  Gender	Female
  Died	Mar 1591	Barnstaple, Devon, England
  	Cause: Burnt alive for petty treason (murdering her husband)
  	Burnt at the stake for petty treason. Petty treason was killing a 'superior' to whom obedience was owed - a servant or apprentice killing a master or mistress, an ecclesiastic his superior, to whom he owed obedience, and, as here, a wife killing her husband. For a man the punishment was to be drawn and quartered, but for a woman, drawn and burnt. This punishment was not abolished until 1790, although by then, although unlawful, women were mercifully strangled before being committed to the flames. It seems unlikely Eulalia was shown such mercy.
  Siblings	4 brothers and 3 sisters

  Father	Nicholas GLANVILLE, Gent.,   b. Est 1536,   d. Between 30 Aug 1598 and 31 Oct 1598  (Age ~ 62 years)
  Mother	Elizabeth POYNTER,   b. Est 1539,   bur. 1 Jan 1613/14, St. Eustachius’ Church, Tavistock, Devon, England  (Age ~ 75 years)
  Married	Est 1562
  	Wife's Christian name from his will, whole name and her father's name from Harl. MS. Order of sons and order of daughters in Vivian (Cornwall), how the daughters were dispersed amongst the sons not shown. It is not clear if they had 2 sons called John and 2 called Tobias or if this is a mistake by Vivian. One John is shown by Vivian as dying without issue, the other with, but the 'ob. s. p.' is shown as added by Vivian, not (as some others are) as being in the 1620 visitation. Six sons are numbered, the only 2 for whom a spouse and children are shown are a Tobias and a John for whom no birth order number is given, hence me thinking Vivian may have added the same 2 twice. I am only adding one with each name for the moment.

  Family	William PAGE,   d. 11 Feb 1590/91, Plymouth, Devon, England
  Married	Marriage not found by searching indexes (including St Andrew's Plymouth), nor by browsing 1589-91. I suspect the marriage might have been in Tavistocke, for which the PRs for the period do not survive.
