Thomas Wriothesley, 1st Earl of Southampton (21 December 1505 – 30 July 1550), KG was an English peer, secretary of state, Lord Chancellor and Lord High Admiral. A naturally skilled but unscrupulous and devious politician who changed with the times and personally tortured Anne Askew, Wriothesley served as a loyal instrument of King Henry VIII in the latter's break with the Catholic church. Richly rewarded with royal gains from the Dissolution of the Monasteries, he nevertheless prosecuted Calvinists and other dissident Protestants when political winds changed. Early life Thomas Wriothesley, born in London 21 December 1505, was the son of York Herald William Wriothesley, whose ancestors had spelled the family surname "Wryth", and Agnes Drayton, daughter and heiress of James Drayton of London. Thomas had two sisters, Elizabeth, born in 1507, and Anne, born in 1508, and a brother, Edward, born in 1509. Thomas's father and uncle were the first members of his family to use the ...

Justice Of The Peace
A justice of the peace (JP) is a judicial officer of a lower or ''puisne'' court, elected or appointed by means of a commission ( letters patent) to keep the peace. In past centuries the term commissioner of the peace was often used with the same meaning. Depending on the jurisdiction, such justices dispense summary justice or merely deal with local administrative applications in common law jurisdictions. Justices of the peace are appointed or elected from the citizens of the jurisdiction in which they serve, and are (or were) usually not required to have any formal legal education in order to qualify for the office. Some jurisdictions have varying forms of training for JPs. History In 1195, Richard I ("the Lionheart") of England and his Minister Hubert Walter commissioned certain knights to preserve the peace in unruly areas. They were responsible to the King in ensuring that the law was upheld and preserving the " King's peace". Therefore, they were known as "keepers of th ...

Addled Parliament
The Parliament of 1614 was the second Parliament of England of the reign of James VI and I, which sat between 5 April and 7 June 1614. Lasting only two months and two days, it saw no bills pass and was not even regarded as a Parliament by its contemporaries. However, for its failure it has been known to posterity as the Addled Parliament. James had struggled with debt ever since he came to the English throne. The failure of the Blessed Parliament of 1604–1610 to, in its six-year sitting, rescue the king from his mounting debt or allow James to unite his two kingdoms, had left him bitter with the body. The four-year hiatus between Parliaments saw the royal debt and deficit grow further, despite the best efforts of Treasurer Lord Salisbury. The failure of the last and most lucrative financial expedient of this period, a foreign dowry from the marriage of his heir-apparent, finally convinced James to re-call Parliament in early 1614. The Parliament got off to a bad start, with p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mottisfont
Mottisfont is a village and civil parish in the Test Valley district of Hampshire, England, approximately 7 km north west of Romsey. The village is best known as the location of Mottisfont Abbey. Much of the surrounding land, which is part of the Mottisfont Estate, and several other buildings in the village, are in the care of the National Trust. The unusual name is probably derived from the Old English motes funta, meaning 'spring near the confluence' or 'spring of the moot' or possibly 'spring of the stone' (from the Old English motere: sonte). Mottisfont formerly had a railway station on the Sprat and Winkle Line, which closed in the 1960s. The nearby Dunbridge station on the Wessex Main Line has recently been renamed as Mottisfont and Dunbridge.

Member Of Parliament
A member of parliament (MP) is the representative in parliament of the people who live in their electoral district. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this term refers only to members of the lower house since upper house members often have a different title. The terms congressman/congresswoman or deputy are equivalent terms used in other jurisdictions. The term parliamentarian is also sometimes used for members of parliament, but this may also be used to refer to unelected government officials with specific roles in a parliament and other expert advisers on parliamentary procedure such as the Senate Parliamentarian in the United States. The term is also used to the characteristic of performing the duties of a member of a legislature, for example: "The two party leaders often disagreed on issues, but both were excellent parliamentarians and cooperated to get many good things done." Members of parliament typically form parliamentary groups, sometimes called caucuse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thomas Bilson (MP For Winchester)
Sir Thomas Bilson (1592 – ) was an English politician, serving as MP for Winchester. Bilson was the oldest son of Thomas Bilson, Bishop of Winchester and his wife Anne, daughter of Thomas Mill . He was baptised on 29 February 1592. He was educated at New College, Oxford, matriculating in 1606; entered Lincoln's Inn in 1609; and accompanied ambassador Sir Stephen Lesieur to Florence in 1609.

Bishop Bilson supported Carr and the annulment: his son was therefore known as court as "Sir Nullity Bilson". Bilson served as a JP in Hampshire 1614–1621, Commissioner of Sewers for Winchester in 1617, Commissioner of Subsidy for Hampshire 1621–22 and 1624, and Commissioner of Assessment for Hampshire in 1641.

Sir Richard Tichborne, 2nd Baronet
Sir Richard Tichborne, 2nd Baronet (1578 – April 1657) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1597. He was a Royalist commander in the English Civil War. Tichborne was the oldest son of Sir Benjamin Tichborne, 1st Baronet of Tichborne and his second wife Amphillis Weston, daughter of Richard Weston, justice of the common pleas. The Tichbornes were one of the leading Roman Catholic families in the county, but like his father and brothers, Tichborne outwardly conformed to the Church of England. However, his career at Court was damaged when he was denounced in the House of Commons by Sir Daniel Norton on 27 April 1624 for the recusancy of his second wife and children. His situation was made more difficult by his inability to stay out of debt, mainly caused by his wish to be noticed at the Court of James I. His brother was Walter Tichborne of Aldershot. Richard Tichborne was a student of the Middle Temple in 1595. In 1597 he was elected Member of Parli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
