Sir Richard Ottley (5 August 1626–10 August 1670) was an English Royalist politician and soldier who served as a youth in the English Civil War in Shropshire. After the Restoration he played a prominent part in the repression of Parliamentarians and Nonconformists and was MP for Shropshire in the Cavalier Parliament. ==Background, early life and education== Richard Ottley was the eldest son of : *Sir Francis Ottley of Pitchford, Shropshire, who was military governor of Shrewsbury for part of the English Civil War : *Lucy Edwards, daughter of Thomas Edwards of the College, Shrewsbury. She was the widow of Thomas Pope, another Shrewsbury resident. The Ottley family were part of the landed gentry of Shropshire and claimed descent from the more ancient Ottleys of Ottley, near Ellesmere, Shropshire.〔(Grazebrook and Rylands, p.380-381 )〕 However, Thomas Ottley, the ancestor who bought Pitchford Hall in 1473, was a Merchant of the Staple〔B.D.

The Ottleys of Pitchford owed their status to wealth made as merchants of the thriving county town, with its monopoly in the finishing of Welsh cloth.〔Andrew Thrush and John P. Ferris (editors): (History of Parliament Online: Constituencies 1604-1629 - Shrewsbury - Author: Simon Healy ), accessed 30 October 2013.〕 Richard Ottley was born on 5 August 1626 and christened on 15 September.〔(Horton, p.13 )〕 He had a brother, Adam, who was born in 1628 and a sister, Mary, who was born in 1630. He was admitted to Shrewsbury School on 9 April 1638, the same day as his brother Adam.〔(Phillips and Audley (ed), 1911, ''Ottley Papers'', p.234. )〕 but his education beyond that stage was interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642. 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「Richard Ottley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
