The founder of Felsted School with its associated alms houses in Essex in 1564, he was also a persecutor and torturer of Protestants. ==Origins== According to some sources, Rich was born in the London parish of St Lawrence Jewry, the second son of Richard Rich by Joan Dingley; according to Carter, he was born at Basingstoke, Hampshire, the son of John Rich (d. 1509?), of Penton Mewsey, Hampshire, and a wife named Agnes whose surname is unknown. Early in 1551 he was described in an official document as 'fifty-four years of age and more', and was therefore born about 1496. He had a brother, Robert, who was granted a messuage in Bucklersbury by Henry VIII on 24 February 1539, and who died in 1557. 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 Rich, 1st Baron Rich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
