Cuthbert Chute
"In the time of Edward II..." (1307/8 - 1327) This name stands out pretty dramatically from other Chute names. Again , without knowing a prior pedigree, we have no way of knowing if the name was taken from a relation. If not, the most famous Cuthbert around at the time would have been St. Cuthbert, famed as a miracle worker, whose remains resided in Durham at that time (making it a well known pilgrimage site), and were reportedly famous for having been uncorrupted and un-decomposed when the casket was opened. The site was so well known that even William the Conquerer paid it a visit after his arrival. The Venerable Bede, who wrote so poorly of Hengest and Horsa, also wrote a well known biography of Cuthbert, and the various miracles reported as associated with Cuthbert might shed some light on why our Cuthbert was given the name if in fact, the saint was th e inspiration for it: possibly a difficulty at birth from which he surprisingly recovered. Cuthbert may have bee n a patron saint of one of his parents, who was often invoked against serious illnesses.

Cuthbert married Christiana Chiddock [49070] [MRIN: 551612277], daughter of John Chiddock [49075] and Unknown, in 1308.
