Biography
In 1256/7 Eudes was pursuing a claim to land in Yeovil which had been held by his uncle Benedict de Bere; and the claim was revived in 1280 by Ralph, when the pedigree was set out. The claim failed, because Benedict had only a life-interest. In 1257 Eudes was a party to a fine of land in Somerset. Contemporary with him was a Wiltshire knight named Yves de Stourton, who in 1256/7 was witness to a grant of land; in 1252-66 was witness to grants to Bruton Abbey; and in 1259/60 was one of 18 knights of Wiltshire and Somerset on an inquisition to the property of Witham Priory.

Stirnet shows: A. Sir William de Stourton i. Sir Michael de Stourton m. Mary Mauduit (dau of John, Lord Mauduit) a. Sir John Stourton (dvp) BP1934 suggests that Sir John's wife, Gracia, was daughter of Thomas, Lord Hungerford. However, as was kindly brought to our attention by a contributor (APH, 19.03.06), the dates for any such Grace Hungerford do not match with Sir John's likely dates. Collins identifies John's wife merely as ... m. Grace (1) Eudo Stourton (dvp) (2) Sir Ralph Stourton of Stourton (a 1291) m. Alice Berkeley (dau of Thomas, Lord Berkeley)

History of the noble house of Stourton, of Stourton, in the county of Wilts, p. 34: " ....

Collins shews him as eldest son and heir apparent of Sir John Stourton, but as dying in his father's lifetime, which is probably correct for his younger brother, Sir Ralph Stourton, is said to have succeeded his grandfather, Sir Michael, as heir to the Manor and Advowson of Stourton, held of Hugh Lovel, as of his Castle of Cary, Co, Somerset, which honour he held of the Crown in chief. The College of Arms pedigree, which Hoare printed, confirms Collins as to Gracia Hungerford being wife of Sir John Stourton. ...."
