==Biography==
John Lenthall was the son of William Lenthall, Speaker of the House of Commons, and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Ambrose Evans of Loddington in Northamptonshire. At the age of 14 he matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford on 12 September 1640 and entered Lincoln's Inn the same year.
Lenthall was elected Member of Parliament for Gloucester in 1645.〔 cites Foster, ''Alumni Oxonienses'', iii. 902.〕
He was one of the judges appointed for the trial of Charles I, but did not participate in the trial. He was one of the Six Clerks in Chancery, 9 March 1657. He was knighted by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell on 9 March 1658.〔 cites Le Neve, Pedigrees of Knights, p. 324; Mercurius Politicus, 4–11 March 1657.〕 On 18 January 1660, he was made colonel of a regiment of foot and Governor of Windsor Castle.〔 cites ''Commons' Journals'', vii. 814.〕 Lenthall was returned to the Convention Parliament for Abingdon, but was expelled from the house on 12 May 1660.〔 cites ''Commons' Journals'', viii. 24.〕 In 1672 he was Sheriff of Oxfordshire. He was also one of the Six Clerks in Chancery. His Cromwellian knighthood was not recognised after the Restoration and on 13 March 1677 Charles II knighted him at Whitehall. He died at Besselsleigh on 9 November 1681, and was buried in the parish church at Besselsleigh in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), adjoining his country estate. Wood terms him "the grand braggadocio and liar of the age he lived in".〔 cites Wood, ''Athenæ'', iii. 902.〕
