- "Stradling [Stradelinges, de Estratlinges] family (per. c. 1290–1480), gentry, came from Strättlingen, on Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland. The Elizabethan scholar–courtier Sir Edward Stradling (c. 1529–1609) included in 'The winning of the lordship of Glamorgan out of the Welshmen's hands' a family pedigree that claimed that Stradlings arrived in England with the Danes. In reality they were established in Glamorgan and the west country of England in Edward I's reign, and became influential landowners. John de Estratlinges (d. c. 1293) came to England with Otto de Grandson, Edward I's companion-in-arms, from whom he received lands in Ireland and England; he married Maud, John of Wauton's heir."
