Sir Robert Hampson (1537-1607) was one of the two Sheriffs of the City of London in 1599. He was an Alderman of the City of London and was knighted by King James I on his entry into England〔Wotton, p.295〕 in 1603. ==Marriage== He married Katheren Goad (1553-1625), daughter of John Goad (''alias'' Good), a Citizen of London and member of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors.〔Betham, p.5〕 She survived him and remarried to Sir John Rotheram, and was buried in St. Mary's Church, Watford, Hertfordshire, where survives her mural monument, a lady kneeling at a prie dieu with open book thereon. She is buried in the floor beneath (not with her first husband as his monument in St Mary Hill Church, Billingsgate, suggests〔Wotton〕), under a black slab inscribed as follows:〔(Transcribed in Wotton, p.295-6; Image of slab )〕 :"Seaventy two yeares goodnesse lyes inhum'd, :Under this stone her bones may be consum'd, :By time but memory, :Shall with her soule live to Eternity. :To rich and poore her children & her frends, :Her life was dedicat; shee had noe ends, :But Love and Charity; her good mind :God grant to us which heere are left behind". :"To ye memory of the virtuous Lady Katheren Rotheram late wife to Sr John Rotheram, first espoused to Sr Robert Hampson, knight & Alderman of London, by whome shee left two sonns and two daughters. Shee departed this life ye 22 of February Anno Dom. 1625 (A)etatis (suae) 72" 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「Robert Hampson (1537–1607)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
