Sir Anthony Lee (c.1510 – 24 November 1549) was an English courtier and Member of Parliament, and the father of Elizabeth I's champion, Sir Henry Lee. He was at the court of Henry VIII in his youth, and served as a Justice of the Peace and Knight of the Shire for Buckinghamshire. He was a close friend of his brother-in-law, the poet Thomas Wyatt. ==Family== Anthony Lee was a great-grandson of Bennet Lee of Cheshire, who had established the Lee family at Quarrendon in Buckinghamshire.〔(Lee, Sir Anthony (1510/11-49), of Quarrendon, Buckinghamshire, History of Parliament ) Retrieved 2 December 2013.〕 Born about 1510, Anthony was the eldest son of Sir Robert Lee (d.1539) by his first wife, Joan Cope, daughter of William Cope of Banbury by Joan Spencer, one of the daughters of John Spencer, esquire, of Hodnell, Warwickshire. Anthony had a brother, Francis Lee, about whom little in known, and a sister, Jane Lee, who is said to have married William Symonds of Cornwall. Lee's mother died before 12 July 1521, the date on which his father settled property at Burston on his second wife, Lettice Peniston, widow of Sir Robert Knollys, and daughter of Thomas Peniston of Hawridge, Buckinghamshire. By his second wife Sir Robert Lee had a son and two daughters: *Benedict Lee (d. February 1559), who married Margaret Pakington, the daughter of Robert Pakington, by whom he had a son, Captain Thomas Lee, 'the traitor', executed at Tyburn on 17 February 1601 after the Earl of Essex's rebellion. Captain Thomas Lee's son, Henry Lee (d. 9 October 1657) of Kildare, was the heir at law of Sir Anthony Lee's eldest son, Sir Henry Lee (see below). Benedict Lee was a henchman to Henry VIII, and served as such at the funeral of Jane Seymour. He was a partisan of Mary I, and his 'furious zeal' for her cause was rewarded with the grant of a manor. After his death his widow married Thomas Scott of Yorkshire. *Elizabeth Lee, who married firstly William Tresham, and secondly Walter Vachell of Coley, Berkshire. *Margaret Lee, who married a husband named Lane (perhaps Thomas Lane of Matson, Gloucestershire). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anthony Lee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
