George Bromley (ca. 1526–1589) was an English lawyer, landowner, politician and judge of the Mid-Tudor and Elizabethan period, a member of an important Shropshire legal and landed gentry dynasty. Although his career was overshadowed by that of his brother Thomas Bromley, George Bromley was of considerable importance in the affairs of the Welsh marches and the Inner Temple. He was an MP for Liskeard 1563, Much Wenlock in 1558 and 1559 and Shropshire in 1571 and 1572.〔(Hasler: ''BROMLEY, George (c.1526–89), of Hallon in Worfield, Salop and the Inner Temple, London'' – Author: N.M. Fuidge. )〕 ==Background and early life== George Bromley was born around 1526. He was the first son of〔(Grazebrook and Rylands, volume 1, p. 78 )〕〔(Rylands, p.49 )〕 : *George Bromley of Hodnet, close to Market Drayton in Shropshire, the son of William Bromley of Mitley and Beatrix Hill. : *Jane Lacon, daughter of Sir Thomas Lacon of Willey, Shropshire. The elder George Bromley was a prominent lawyer, important in the affairs of the Inner Temple,〔(Bindoff: ''BROMLEY, George (1525/26-89), of Hallon in Worfield, Salop and the Inner Temple, London'' – Author: Alan Harding. )〕 where he was Autumn Reader for 1508〔(Inderwick, p.11 )〕 and Lent Reader for 1509,〔(Inderwick, p.12 )〕 although he refused the honour for Lent 1515.〔(Inderwick, p.35 )〕 He was also recorder (judge) of Shrewsbury. His younger cousin,〔 Thomas Bromley, also served as recorder of Shrewsbury and was made Chief Justice of the King's Bench by Mary I.〔(Bindoff: ''BROMLEY, Thomas I (by 1505–55), of Eyton-upon-Severn; Wroxeter and Shrewsbury, Salop and London.'' – Author: N.M. Fuidge. )〕 The cousins both exercised considerable power regionally as legal officers of the Council in the Marches of Wales,〔 which embodied the power of central government in this still-turbulent region. The young George Bromley was left without a father in 1533 and must have undergone a protracted wardship but nothing is known of it. It was possibly ameliorated by the influence of his father's cousin, Chief Justice Thomas Bromley. 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「George Bromley (politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
