Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: YAK-ZYM
ZOUCHE, or ZOUCH , the name of an English family descended from Alan la Zouche, a
Breton
 , who is sometimes called Alan de Porrhoet. Having settled in England during the reign of
Henry
  II., Alan obtained by
marriage
 
Ashby
  in Leicestershire (called after him
Ashby
  de la Zouch) and other lands. His grandson, another Alan la Zouche, was justice of Chester and justice of Ireland under
Henry
  III.; he was loyal to the king during the struggle with the barons, fought at Lewes and helped to arrange the peace of Kenilworth. As the result of a quarrel over some lands with John,
Earl
  Warenne, he was seriously injured in Westminster
Hall
  by the
earl
  and his retainers, and died on the loth of August 1270. Alan's elder son Roger (d. 1285) had a son Alan la Zouche, who was summoned to
parliament
  as a baron about 1298. He died without sons, and this barony fell into abeyance between his daughters and has never been revived. The elder Alan's younger son, Eades or Ivo, had a son William (c. 12761352), who was summoned to
parliament
  as a baron in 1308, and this barony, which is still in existence, is known as that of Zouche of Haryngworth.
John, 7th baron Zouche of Haryngworth (c. 1460-1526), was attainted in 1485 as a supporter of Richard III., but was restored to his honours in 1495. His descendant, Edward, the lath baron (c. 15561625), was one of the peers who tried Mary, queen of Scots, and was sent by Elizabeth as
ambassador
  to Scotland and to Denmark. He was president of Wales from 16os to 1615 and lord warden of the Cinque Ports from 1615 to 1624. He was a member of the council of the Virginia Company and of the New England council. He had many literary friends, among them being Ben Jonson and Sir Henry Wotton. Zouche left no soles, and ?he barony remained in abeyance among the descendants of his two daughters until 1815, when the abeyance was terminated in favour of Sir Cecil Bisshopp, Bart. (17531828), who became the 12th baron. He died without sons, a second abeyance being terminated in 1829 in favour of his daughter Harriet Anne (17871870), wife of the Hon. Robert Curzon (17711863). In 1873 her grandson, Robert Nathaniel Curzon (b. 1851), became the 15th baron.
Two antiquaries, Henry Zouch (c. 172517955) and his brother.
Thomas
  Zouch (17371815), claimed descent from the family of Zouche. Both were voluminous writers,
Thomas
 's works including a Life of Izaak Walton (1823) and Memoirs of Sir Philip Sidney (18o8).
