Notes for John Baron Hussey Sir
Source: Compiled by Dora Davenport Jones, deceased. Furnished by Jean A. Sargent, 12217 Shadetree Lane, Montpelier, Laurel, MD 20708. The genealogy and notes from Sir John to John Hussey, born 1572, are based on Ms Jones' information, which is contained in an unpublished manuscript entitled:

A great deal has been written concerning the political activities of Sir John Hussey during the reign of Henry VIII and even though all data were abstracted from original court records, some details vary slightly. He fought on the king's side at Stokes in 1486 and became comptroller of the royal household. Hussey received large grants of land in Lincolnshire and neighboring counties, became one of the council, master of the king's wards, knight of the body, and took 340 men to the French War in 1513, when he was one of the commanders in the rear guard. He was employed on various diplomatic missions, and was sent as envoy to the emporor after the Field of Cloth of Gold.
John Hussey was amoung those knighted at the battle of Blackheath, Jun 17, 1497. He was made a 'Knight Banneret', possibly at the Battle of Spurs, in France on 16 Aug. 1513. A banneret had the privilege of leading his retainers to battle under his own flag. They ranked at the next order below Knights of the Garter providing they were created by the king on the field of battle.
In 1521 he was made chief butler of England. In 1529 he was summoned by writ to the House of Lords as 'Johannes Hussey de sleford, chivaler'. He was a signatory to the document sent from England begging the papal sanction to Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Arragon, and was one of those at the queens trial who gave evidence as to her previous marriage with Prince Arthur. He was appointed in 1533 chamberlain to the illegitimized "Princess" Mary, and his allegiance to her father seems about the same time to have begun to waver.
On the outbreak of the Lincolnshire rebellion, known as the Pilgriamage of Grace, in the autumn of 1536, Hussey seemed to remain firm in his allegiance to the King. Lord Hussey had been able to bring in his tenants to fight for the king when he had been ordered to do so. He was accused of making no effort to raise men to put down the rebellion, and the king accused him of being a traitor when he refused to tell the names of the men behind the rebellion. He was tried with Lord Darcy at Westminster on 15 May 1537. Cromwell offered him a pardon if he would furnish particulars concerning the rebellion and he said he could not do so. There is a difference of opinion as to where he was executed -- Sleaford or Tyburn, and as to whether he was hun or beheaded.
In a history of "The Earlier Tudors; by Mackie, it is related that Hussey was beheaded in Lincoln.
After John Hussey was attainted of treason and executed, his manor of Sleford, with other lands to the value of five thousand pounds per annum were confiscated, and barony forfeited. His childred were, however, afterwards restored in parliament the 5th year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1563); but neither his estates nor the title were granted to his heirs.
According to the Lincolnshire Pedigrees, Sir John Hussey of Sleaford, Knight, 1st son and heir; Sheriff of county Lincoln 9 Henry 7; aet. 30 at his father's death; Knight of the King;s Body 5 Henry 8; Chief Butler of England 13 Henry 8; summoned to Parliament 3 Nov 21 Henry 8, 1529; attained and beheaded at Lincoln 29 June 29 Henry 8, 1537; his children restored in blood only 5 Eliz., 1562.
Notes for Ann (Spouse 1)
In 1536 she was sent to the Tower for calling the 'illegitimized' Mary (daughter of Henry VIII by his divorced wife Catherine of Arragon) 'princess'. Henry's reason: he did not want a female heir to the thown.

Dear Sue,

To follow up on our conversation last month about the Giles/Sir Giles
Hussey link, here is a note from a colleague, Mike Faris, that might
clear up the confusion. Let me know if you have found other information
to confirm or deny this.

Thanks!

Pam Wilson

Hi again:

I found the info on Sir Giles.

There is a more recent series "The Complete Peerage" that clears up the
matter placing Anne Grey as Hussey's second wife rather than the first wife. The Giles
that died as an infant or young child was of the first wife. Wills have
been found of John Hussey and Anne Grey. John's dated October 22, 1535,
has provisions for wife, Lady Anne, sons William, Thomas, Gilbert and
Sir Giles and others. Lady Anne's will was dated March 1, 1544/5 and
probated February 11, 1545/6, mentions two daughters and sons Sir
William and Sir Giles. If you have access to "Ancestral Roots of Sixty
Colonists", Fifth Edition by Frederick Lewis Weis with additions and
revisions by Walter Lee Shepard, Jr. you will find links between John
and Anne (Grey) Hussey back to the Planteganets and beyond.

Regards, Mike
