continued resistance following the Jacobite defeat the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. His precipitate withdrawal with the cavalry of the left flank at the Battle of Aughrim gave rise to suspicions of disloyalty. During the Siege of Limerick, he was found to be in correspondence with the besiegers, and scarcely escaped hanging, bringing his regiment of horse over to the Williamite side after the surrender of the city. As a reward, he received the forfeited estates of his elder brother, Simon Luttrell, including Luttrellstown, and was made a major general in the Dutch army. Later life He attempted to deprive his brother's widow, Catherine, of her jointure by discreditable means, but was ultimately obliged to yield it to her. On 13 October 1704, he married Elizabeth Jones and had two sons: Robert Luttrell (d. 1727), while abroad "on his travels" Simon Luttrell, 1st Earl of Carhampton (1713–1787) He was shot and mortally wounded in his sedan chair on the night of 22 October 1717, on the Blind-quay in Dublin as he was proceeding from Lucas' Coffee House on Cork-hill to his house in Stafford Street. He died the next day, at the age of sixty-three. According to the reports circulated at the time, it was a blacksmith of his own name, residing in Bridge-street, Dublin, who did so, in the hope of succeeding to his estates; believing that the Colonel was not married to the mother of his children. However, no charges seemed to come of it. Despite large rewards, the murderers were never apprehended. The Irish house of commons believed that it was an act of revenge on the part of 'papists', but he had many other enemies. An attempt was made too to kill his grandson Henry Luttrell, 2nd Earl of Carhampton, also heavily despised with many enemies, and who sold Luttrellstown Castle, which the family had owned for almost 600 years, in 1800. After Luttrellstown Castle was sold, Colonel Luttrell's grave was opened and the skull smashed. References Bibliography Childs, John. The Williamite Wars in Ireland. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2007.
