Sir Robert Tyrwhitt (c.1510 – 16 November 1581) was an English Member of Parliament and Sheriff. He was born the son of Sir William Tyrwhitt of Scotter, Lincolnshire. He succeeded his grandfather in 1548 and was knighted by 1553. He was mentored at court by his uncle Sir Robert Tyrwhitt. He was a Justice of the Peace for Lindsey from 1547, probably until his death, and appointed High Sheriff of Lincolnshire for 1559–60. He was joint Lord Lieutenant of Lincolnshire in 1559. He was elected a Knight of the shire (MP) for Lincolnshire in 1553, 1554 and 1558. Towards the end of his life both he and some of his sons were jailed for recusancy. He died in 1581 and was buried at Bigby, Lincolnshire, in a tomb of white alabaster. He had married Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Oxenbridge of Etchingham, Sussex; they had nine sons and thirteen daughters. He was succeeded by his son William (1531 – 1591).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= TYRWHITT, Sir Robert II (c.1510-81), of Kettleby, Lincs. ) 〕 ==References== 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 Tyrwhitt (MP died 1581)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
