The signal victory of the Lancastrian party on the field of Bosworth, in August 1485, revived the hopes of all those who had been ejected by the Yorkists. Henry the Seventh had not been on the throne many weeks before some of them were reinstated. Among them HUGH LUTTRELL, son and heir of Sir James Luttrell, presented a petition to the King in Parliament setting forth that his father had been attainted 'for the true faith and allegiaunce which he owid unto the right famous prince of moost blessed emmory, then his soveraine lord, Henry late King of England the sixth,' and praying that the act of attainder should be repealed, and consequent letters patent made void. His petition was readily granted and the agents of the Earl of Huntingdon made way for the rightful lord of Dunster.

Sir Hugh Luttrell, son of Sir James Luttrell, who was mortally wounded at the battle of St. Albans, went before King Henry the Seventh and presented a petition setting forth that his father had been attainted for the true faith and allegiance which he owed unto the right famous Prince of most blessed memory, then his sovereign Lord, Henry the Sixth, the late king of England, and praying that the Act of Attainder be repealed, and this petition was granted. He was also created a Knight of the Bath at the Coronation of Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry the Seventh, in November 1487. When Catherine of Arragon came to England to marry the then Prince of Wales, Sir Hugh Luttrell was one of the seven knights who were selected to accompany her. He married Margaret Hill, and had a son, Andrew.
