John Assheton
John Assheton ( fl. 1548) was an Anglican priest at "Shiltelington" (perhaps Shillington, Bedfordshire) who is the first recorded English anti-Trinitarian. Almost nothing is known about Assheton except the record of recantation to Thomas Cranmer in 1548. In his abjuration Assheton details his former objection to the Trinity, to the person and personality of the Holy Spirit, to the pre-existence of Christ, but not to the virgin birth. This then appears to be what would later be called a Socinian Socinianism () is a nontrinitarian belief system deemed heretical by the Catholic Church and other Christian traditions.

John Assheton I
Sir John de Ashton, or Assheton (c. 1354 – c. 1398), of Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, was an English politician and military commander. He was the son of Sir John Ashton, who was reportedly a prominent soldier and died c. 1360). When he was about 15 years old, the younger Ashton entered military service: during 1369 he was in France for the Caroline phase of the Hundred Years War, as part of English forces led by John of Gaunt. John de Ashton was almost certainly ''not'' the "Sir John Assueton" who was said to have taken part in a siege at Noyon, in 1370 (according to Froissart's Chronicles). The '' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'' has described this identification as "suspect"; at the time, Ashton had not been knighted and was about 16 years old. He fought in Ireland in 1373 and was knighted by 1377, when he was retained by John of Gaunt. Ashton was elected as a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Lancashire in October 1382, with Gaunt's sup ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sir John Assheton II
Sir John de Ashton or Sir John Assheton (died 1428), was an MP and soldier under King Henry IV and King Henry V. Ashton was the son of Sir John de Ashton and his wife, Joan Radcliffe. He was one of forty-six esquires who were summoned to attend the grand coronation of Henry IV in 1399, in honour of which event they were solemnly admitted to the Order of the Bath. Ashton served in 1411, 1413 and 1416 as a knight of the shire (MP) for Lancashire. In 1416 he was with Thomas of Lancaster, 1st Duke of Clarence at the taking of Bayeux, and was entrusted by the king with the office of seneschal of the city. There is in the ' Fœdera' a document sent to him by Henry IV from Falaise, commanding him to give special protection to the inhabitants of the religious houses. He was also captain of Coutances and Carentan and bailiff of Cotentin. Sir John died in 1428. He was twice married (firstly to Isabel, heiress of Sir Richard Kirkby) and left many children, of whom the most dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
