Talk:Anthony Wingfield

The original page by User:Boleyn was on Sir Anthony Wingfield, the Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk in 1552. However it went on to described the ancestry of him as:

"He was the son of Richard Wingfield of Wantisden, Suffolk, and Mary Hardwick, the daughter and co-heiress of John Hardwick of Derby, and the sister of Bess of Hardwick. Anthony was reader in Greek to Elizabeth I."

The Wingfield family has a very tangled family tree, with several Anthony's in every generation. Based upon the magnum opus by Powerscourt, Muniments of the Ancient Saxon Family of Wingfield, 1894. p5, the ancestry of Sir Anthony (1488-1552) is from Sir John who died in 1509. "Richard of Wantisden" (who died between 1588 and 1591 and married Mary Hardwick) is Sir Anthony's son, not father.

See for example: Anthony and Sir Anthony

Re Copt Hall: The paragraph "On the 28th of August 1551, Sir Anthony, along with the then Lord Chancellor Richard Rich and Sir William Petre went to Copt Hall in Essex to order Princess Mary Tudor and her household to stop hearing the Catholic Mass. Wingfield was sent to replace Mary's Comptroller Robert Rochester who was removed by Edward's Council for refusing to order Mary to cease hearing Mass." has no source. In the Powerscourt book there is no account of this event under Sir Anthony. User:Boleyn - do you have a source for this?
