Henry Sutton III

Henry Sutton III was the 7th Duke of Newcastle, and eldest son of Edward VII. He was the longest-lived Duke of Newcastle, and perhaps the most loved. Henry held the title from 526 K.C. to 579 K.C. Tragically, He would outlive two wives, and all three of his sons. His last surviving son, Edward VIII was slain in battle while serving as a Field Marshal at the age of 62 just three days before his own death, and the title passed on to his favorite, and eldest grandson, Henry Sutton IV instead. Close friends of the 7th Duke say that he simply lost the will to live after his only remaining son was killed.
Henry founded the Willowbrook Hunt Club in 571 K.C. He was 93 years old at the time, and although he could no longer ride, Henry shot three foxes during the first shooting party held at the beautiful Willow Manor estate, proving to his son and grandson that his eyes sight was not as bad as they thought. Henry died at the age of 101, and his funeral was the grandest ever seen in Newcastle County. His grandson later commissioned a memorial, depicting the 7th Duke astride his favorite mount, leading a cavalry charge. The memorial stands in the center of the courtyard at Castle Sutton.
