The family of LOUETH, LOUETH, DE LUVIET, DE LUVET, LOVET or LOVETT, as the name is variously written in Domesday, is of Norman extraction. RICHARDUS DE LOUET, de Normania, was living at the time of the Conquest, and was accompanied into England by his two sons, WILLIAM and Robert, from the latter descended the Lovets of Worcestershire. WILLIAM LOVETT, the eldest son, held considerable estates in the counties of Bedford, Berks, Leicester, and Northampton, in capite, by grant from the Conqueror. He was also appointed master of the wolf hounds, in consequence of which, he took for his arms argent, three wolves passant, in pale, sable. He made Northamptonshire his chief residence, as did his des cendants for several generations, until their removal to Liscombe, in Buckinghamshire, which subsequently continued their abode for five hundred years. This William, besides being represented as a man in high favour with the king for his military talents, is said to have been one of the strongest and stoutest men of the day, of which many feats are still recorded. He married a French lady, at whose death he was so deeply affected, that taking her remains over to Normandy to be buried, he retired himself into an adjacent monastery, and every day until the day of his death, payed a visit to her tomb, and on that day caused himself to be carried and laid upon the grave, where he expired. In his family this was long a nur sery story, and gave rise to a nursery song. He lived to a great age, and was s. by his son, WILLIAM LOVETT, whose great-great grandson, SIR ROBERT LOVETT, knt. of Rushton and Newton, in the county of Warwick, left a daughter, Alicia, m. to William de Wever, of Cester Over, in the same county, and two sons, Robert and John. To the younger, JOHN LOVETT, he gave his estate at Newton, with his manor of Dodisthorp, near Peterborough, where he erected (by license from the Bishop of Lincoln), in consequence of the badness of the roads, a chantry chapel for the use of his family. This John purchased Cester Over from his nephew, Robert de Waver, and dying without issue, left all his estates to his great nephew (the grandson of his brother, and eldest son of Sir Richard Lovett, of Newton), • This Richardus de Louet, who was one of the few who accompanied the Conqueror into England without receiving pay for his services, returned to die in his own country, and his tomb may be seen to this day in the cathedral at Rouen. This THOMAS LOVETT, of Astwell, served the office of sheriff for Northamptonshire in 1482, and dying in 1401, was s. by his son, THOMAS LOVETT, esq. of Astwell, who m. Anne, sister and sole heir of Richard Drayton, of Strixton, in Northamptonshire, was sheriff in 1491, and died in 1502, leav( z a son, then seventeen years of age, THOMAS LOVETT, esq. of Astwell, who m. first, Eliza ROBERT LOVETT, who settled at Liscombe, in Buckinghamshire, of which, with Hollingdon and Soulbury, he levied a fine in 1304.

Sarah, daughter and heiress of Sir Nicholas De Turville, of Helmeden, in Northamptonshire, and was s. by his son, THOMAS LOVETT, who, upon making the king's son a knight in 1347, accounted for these manors with his other lordships, amounting to twenty-three knight's fees, and one half and one eighth. By his wife, Clementia, he had issue, WILLIAM, his heir.

In 1359, he had inherited the estates of his great uncle, John Lovett, of Newton, but being an improvident person, he soon dissipated those, with a great part of his paternal property. In 1366, he conveyed the manor of Overbury to his sister, Maud de Arches; and in 1386, he sold to William Purefoy and his heirs (after the death of his mother Clementia, then the wife of John Parount), his lands at Cester Over, in Warwickshire; and having disposed of estates of large amount to several other people, he died in 1392, and was s. by his son, ROGER LOVETT, of Liscombe, who presented to Soulbury in 1435. In 1418, he appears again in possession of the manor of Helmeden, which he settled upon his son JOHN, who m. Margaret de Ingleton. John died soon after, in the lifetime of his father, leaving a 1.
