Hugh Aglionby

Hugh Aglionby (by 1521 – between 1552 and 1554), of London, was an English politician.

Career
Aglionby was a Member of Parliament for Carlisle in 1545. He held the office of a Comptroller of the mint from 8 March 1542 to 25 March 1544. He was a clerk of the council to Queen Katherine Parr twice, the first one by September 1544, and the second time by 8 August 1548. "He later succeeded Walter Butler as the Queen’s secretary and after her death Edward VI granted him and his wife in survivorship an annuity of £30".

Personal life
Aglionby was possibly the son of Edward Aglionby, MP for Carlisle. Hugh was married, by May 1550, to a woman named Anne (d. 1568+). Marion Colthorpe, in Women at Court: Royal Household identifies her as the Mrs. Aglionby who was Mother of the Maids by January 1562 to c. 1570 and states that Mrs. Aglionby was a Gentlewoman of the Queen’s Household by Christmas 1565. She had a lease from the Crown of East Mersea manor in Essex.

They had one daughter and at least one son, the MP, Thomas Aglionby.

He was dead by 15 June 1554 when Queen Mary renewed his £20 annuity in his widow's name.
