Denys was the second son of Sir William Denys (died 1533) of Dyrham, Gloucestershire, a courtier to King Henry VIII, by his second wife Anne Berkeley, daughter of Maurice Berkeley, ''de jure'' 3rd Baron Berkeley (1436–1506).〔Sir William Denys's 1st wife, whom he married in about 1482 & who was short-lived, was Edith Twynyho, da. of John Twynyho (d.1485), a wealthy cloth merchant of Cirencester, MP for Bristol 1472-5, 1484, and sister-in-law to John Tame (d.1500), of Fairford, Glos., business partner of John Twynyho. The marriage settlement is contained in a charter dated 21 Ed IV (1482)〕 His father was a great-grandson of Sir Gilbert Denys (d.1422) of Waterton, Glamorgan, who had moved to Gloucestershire following his first marriage in 1379 to Margaret Corbet, heiress of Siston.
