  • Notes 
    • THIS family, which is of ancient extraction, was undoubtedly situated at Chetwode in Buckinghamshire, long before the conquest.

      John Chetwode, the ancestor, from whom this pedigree is clearly deduced, was a person of note in his time, being a knight, and lord of the manor of Chetwode. This John had issue, Robert Chetwode, lord of Chetwode, who founded the priory of Chetwode in the life-time of his father; and the said John, and Robert, with , his wife, lie buried in the church belonging to the said priory, as appeared by an ancient monument, which was defaced after the suppression of the said priory.

      Robert had issue, Sir Rause Chetwode, Knt. who had issue, Robert Chetwode, lord of Chetwode, who lived 5 Henry I. and married Sibell, daughter of Thomas Strange. He attended King Richard I. into Syria; and, for his achievement in arms, received the honour of knighthood from that prince, in Palestine; and, on his return from the holy wars, received other singular marks of that monarch's favour.


      Robert had issue, John Chetwode, Knt. and William Chetwode, a second son, who was seised of lands in Horton, in Kent. " - Source - The Baronetage of England: Containing a Genealogical and ..., Volume 2> Par Thomas Wotton,Richard A. Johnson,Edward Kimber:


      According to tradition, and backed up by contemporary anecdotal accounts, Robert de Chetwode was a crusader in the Third Crusade with Richard I of England, known as the Lionhearted. Sir Robert was knighted by Richard I during the Crusades for heroic acts while fighting in Palestine against Saladin.
