Historical Places in England. During the
13th through 17th centuries in England, the Culpeper family enjoyed
considerable prominence in the southeastern counties of Kent and Sussex.
Many impressive church monuments and grand estates still stand today bearing
witness to the Culpeper's place in English history.
Culpepper Linkage to European Notables. Our paper-based research
suggests
that most living Culpeppers descend from a 16th century Englishman, William Culpeper of Hunton and Wigsell and
his wife, Cicely Barrett. Through this
couple, modern-day Culpeppers descend from the oldest known Culpepper, Sir Thomas
Colepeper (born circa 1170), and from
Charlemagne, the 9th century European Emperor. There are also
connections to
Catherine Howard, fifth Queen of Henry VIII, and Diana, Princess of
Wales. The relationship of these individuals to each other and to the
worldwide Culpeppers can be seen in an
overview chart and
in a series of detailed charts.
