Sir Gilbert Debenham (junior) (1432–1500) was an English knight, politician and soldier who also served briefly as Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Although he came from a family notorious for lawlessness he flourished under Edward IV, due to his loyalty to Edward during the great political crisis of the years 1469–71. Under Henry VII he was attainted for treason and spent his last years in prison. He figures prominently in the Paston Letters. ==Background and reputation== He was born at Little Wenham in Suffolk, son of Sir Gilbert Debenham senior (c.1404–1481)〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol. 1 p. 184〕 who was justice of the peace, High Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk for 1427, Member of Parliament and steward to the Mowbray Dukes of Norfolk. Historians have little good to say of either father or son; they have been called a "pair of thorough-going villains", with a reputation for "violent and thuggish behavior",〔Mercer, Malcolm ''The Medieval Gentry – Power, Leadership and Choice during the Wars of the Roses'' 2010 Continuum Publishing p.81〕 although the son's reputation was perhaps somewhat better than that of the father, who was accused of corrupting the town governments of Ipswich and Colchester for his own profit.〔Ross, Charles ''Edward IV'' Eyre Methuen Ltd. 1974 p. 410〕 Edward IV's biographer notes that there were many similar characters in fifteenth-century England and that in return for their support the King was prepared to tolerate a great deal of lawlessness.〔Ross p.411〕 Only when the younger Gilbert crossed the line into actual treason did a later KIng, Henry VII bring him down.
