Henry II., but it was not until the reign of Edward I., or II., that this territorial surname was assumed by Sir Peter de Dutton. This worthy knight was the grandson of Sir Geoffrey de Dutton, a Crusader, to whom the Warburton crest, "a Saracen's head," alludes. "The crest which is still borne by the Warburtons refers to the Holy Land, and was probably gained by some heroic exploit in the expedition." Ormerod's Cheshire. In the Harl.
