Restormel Deer Park - from a Chart in the Reign of King Henry VIII's

Sir William Botreaux, 1st Baron Botreaux & 13th Lord of Codiford Farleigh in 1349

Seigniorial parkland also exercised a strong pull on nefarious Cornishmen and Sir William Botreaux was one of the men who broke into the Black Prince’s parks in the county of Cornwall and hunted in these and carried away his deer. So it was claimed.
The present Baron and Baroness of North Cadbury also hold the Lordship of Codiford Farleigh in Cornwall and one of the predecssors was Sir William Botreaux, 1st Baron Botreaux. It seems that he with many other involved men hunted on the Black Prince's grounds. In July 1381 a royal commission found that William, Lord Botreaux, hearing of the Great Revolt in London, had gathered 80 men and broken into the Black Prince's parks, hunted his deer, killing 20 of them, and generally damaged his property. Lord Botreaux’s wife appealed against the charge, saying that her husband was then on service in Portugal, and that he had been falsely accused.
