Geoffrey Luttrell

Sir Geoffrey Luttrell III (1276 – 23 May 1345) was a great great grandson of Sir Geoffrey de Luterel. His family seat was Irnham Hall at Irnham in Lincolnshire and he was referred to as the 2nd Lord of Irnham.

He commissioned the Luttrell Psalter, the illustrations to which include a representation of him, his wife and his daughter-in-law. Only he owned this valuable book as there was only one copy.

Famous quotes containing the word geoffrey:

    I change, and so do women too;
    But I reflect—which women seldom do.
    Tobacco is a filthy weed,
    That from the devil doth proceed;
    That drains your purse, that burns your clothes,
    That makes a chimney of your nose.
    —Anonymous. “Written on a Looking Glass,” from Geoffrey Grigson’s Faber Book of Epigrams and Epitaphs, Faber & Faber (1977)
