Sir John Popham (1531 – 10 June 1607) 〔 "thePeerage.com Person Page 19580" (genealogy), Darryl Lundy, thePeerage.com, Wellington, NZ, 2006-09-16, webpage: (TPcom-19580 ). 〕 of Wellington, Somerset, was Speaker of the House of Commons (1580 to 1583), Attorney General (1581 to 1592) and Lord Chief Justice of England (1592 to 1607). ==Origins== He was born in 1531 at Huntworth in the parish of North Petherton, near Bridgwater, in Somerset, the second son of Alexander Popham (c.1504-1556) of Huntworth, twice MP for Bridgwater in 1545 and 1547, by his wife Jane Stradling, daughter of Sir Edward Stradling (d.1535) of St Donat's Castle, Glamorgan.〔Skinner, A.J.P., Armory on Pole Monument in Colyton Church, published in Devon Notes & Queries, Vol. 9, Jan 1916-Oct 1917〕 St Donat's Castle situated on the south coast of Glamorgan was a short sail across the Bristol Channel into the inland port of Bridgwater on the River Parret. The Popham family had held the manor of Huntworth since the 13th century when Sir Hugh de Popham (tempore Edward I) (a younger son of the Popham family of the manor of Popham, Hampshire) married Joan de Kentisbury, daughter and heiress of Sir Stephen de Kentisbury of Huntworth.〔Burke's, 1837〕 His nephew was Sir William Pole (1561-1635), the historian of Devon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Popham (Lord Chief Justice)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
