John Fortescue (judge) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Fortescue (judge)
Sir John Fortescue ( 1394 – c. 1480) was the Chief Justice of the King's Bench of England and the author of ''De laudibus legum Angliæ'' (''Commendation of the Laws of England'', first published posthumously around 1543), an influential treatise on English law. In the course of Henry VI's reign, Fortescue was appointed one of the governors of Lincoln's Inn three times. He became one of the King's Serjeants during the Easter term of 1441, and subsequently served as Chief Justice of the King's Bench from 25 January 1442 to Easter term 1460. During the Wars of the Roses, Henry VI was deposed in 1461 by Edward of York, who ascended the throne as Edward IV. Henry and his queen, Margaret of Anjou, later fled to Scotland. Fortescue remained loyal to Henry, and as a result was attainted of treason. He is believed to have been given the nominal title of Chancellor of England during Henry's exile. He accompanied Queen Margaret and her court while they remained on the Continent between 1463 and 1471, and wrote ''De laudibus legum Angliæ'' for the instruction of young Prince Edward. After the defeat of the House of Lancaster, he submitted to Edward IV who reversed his attainder in October 1471. He died around 1480 and was buried in St. Eadburgha's Church, the parish church of Ebrington, Gloucestershire. ==Early life== Fortescue was born around 1394 at Norries, in the parish of North Huish near South Brent in Devon, England, and educated at Exeter College, Oxford. He was the second son of Sir John Fortescue, who in 1422 was appointed captain of the captured Castle of Meaux, northeast of Paris. His eldest brother was Henry Fortescue, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in Ireland. The earliest surviving record of the Fortescue family relates to its 12th-century holding of the manor of Wimpstone, in the parish of Modbury, Devon.〔.〕
