John Marlay (MP) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Marlay (MP) Sir John Marlay (1590-1673) was an English merchant, military commander and politician of the seventeenth century. He is best remembered for his heroic defence of Newcastle-upon-Tyne during the English Civil War, which he held for seven months against a besieging army on behalf of the Royalist cause; but through poverty and desperation he later betrayed the Royalists, and to the end of his life was reviled by most of those who knew him as a traitor. His name is commemorated by Marlay House and Marlay Park in Dublin, which belonged to a branch of his descendants who settled in Ireland. ==Early career==
He was the son of William Marlay: his father and grandfather were both small tradesmen in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He became an alehouse keeper and then a colliery owner: the latter occupation brought him great wealth, with an estimated income of £4500 a year, and he ran a victualling business as well. He was prominent in local Government from the late 1630s: he was three times Mayor of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, his native town, and represented it in the House of Commons from 1661 until his death. He was knighted in 1639. He obtained he victualling contract for the English Army during the First Bishops' War.
