Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Sutton, 2nd Baron Dudley (c. 1460 – 31 January 1531) was an English nobleman created a Knight of the Garter (KG) in the beginning of King Henry VIII's reign.[1] He was chamberlain to Princess Mary (later Queen Mary I) from 1525 to 1528.[2][3]
Edward Sutton was the eldest son of Sir Edmund Sutton and Joyce de Tiptoft,[3] daughter of Sir John Tiptoft, 1st Baron Tiptoft. In right of his wife Joyce, Edmund Dudley benefited from her inheritance of the Tibetot barony and Cherleton barony, and thus co-heir to the Powis inheritance, but was never created baron of these holdings.
Through his uncle, John Sutton Dudley, Knt. of Atherington, his first cousin was Edmund Dudley (Henry VII's minister), who was the father of John Dudley, 1st Duke of Northumberland. Another uncle was William Dudley, Bishop of Durham.
His aunt, Eleanor Dudley,[4] married Sir Henry Beaumont of Wednesbury,[4] and George Stanley,[4] of West Bromwich and High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1473.[5]
The book A Declaration Made by the Prynce of Conde (1562) was published in his name by the publishing operation of Geneva Bible publisher Sir Rowland Hill[6]
