Sir Christopher Wray
Sir Christopher Wray (1524 – 7 May 1592) was an English judge and Chief Justice of the King's Bench. Early life and career Wray, the third son of Thomas Wray, seneschal in 1535 of Coverham Abbey, Yorkshire, by Joan, daughter of Robert Jackson of Gatenby, Bedale, in the same county, was born at Bedale in 1524. The ancient doubts, revived by Lord Campbell as to his legitimacy, were removed by the publication in 1853 of the wills of his mother (by her second marriage wife of John Wycliffe, auditor of issues in the Richmond district) and his brother-in-law, Ralph Gower. The pedigree, however, was first traced with accuracy from the Wrays of Wensleydale by the Rev. George Octavius Wray in the ''Genealogist''. Wray was an alumnus of Buckingham College, Cambridge (refounded during his residence as Magdalene College). Though apparently no graduate, he was a loyal son to his alma mater, and set a high value on learning. The subject created two bye-fellows. Tradition ascribes to ...
