Henry Colley (died 1584) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Colley (died 1584) Sir Henry Colley, or Cowley (died 1584) was an Irish soldier and landowner. He is chiefly remembered today as the ancestor of the 1st Duke of Wellington ==Biography==
Little is known of his early years, except that he was thought to have been the son of Walter Cowley (c.1500-1548), Principal Solicitor for Ireland, and thus the grandson of Robert Cowley (c.1470-1546), Master of the Rolls in Ireland. Records and monuments in Glaston, Rutland provide evidence that the Colley family were Lords of the Manor of Glaston from about the year 1400, and also that a Walter and Robert Colley left Glaston for Ireland in about the time of Henry VII.〔Ball, F. Elrington ''The Judges in Ireland 1221-1921'' John Murray London 1926 Vol.1 p.203〕 Both Robert and Walter rose to positions of eminence through the patronage of Thomas Cromwell. Cromwell's downfall was disastrous for the Cowleys, who were generally unpopular and mistrusted: both Robert and Walter were removed from office and imprisoned for a time in England.〔Ball p.203〕 Walter in his last years was restored to royal favour, and appointed Surveyor-General for Ireland. He presumably left a comfortable inheritance, since in 1554 Henry was able to lease Carbury Castle, County Kildare for 21 years, and later acquired it permanently.〔Norgate, Gerald "Richard Colley Wellesley" ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885-1900'' Vol.60 p.210〕
