Roger Corbet (c.1501–1538)〔(S.T. Bindoff (editor): The History of Parliament: Members 1509–1558 – CORBET, Roger (Author: Alan Harding) ), accessed August 2013〕 was an English politician and landowner of the Tudor Period. A member of the Shropshire landed gentry, he represented the Borough of Truro in the English Reformation Parliament. ==Background and early life== Roger Corbet was the son of : *Sir Robert Corbet (c.1477–1513) of Moreton Corbet, Shropshire. The Corbets' pedigree went back to knights who had accompanied William the Conqueror and become marcher lords. However, they were never ennobled, representing their county many times in Parliament. Leland estimated their landed income at £550 a year, a good sum, but one which placed them squarely in the gentry class. : *Elizabeth Vernon (died 29 March 1563), daughter of Sir Henry Vernon of Haddon Hall and Tong and Anne Talbot, daughter of John Talbot, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury. Elizabeth's father had been treasurer to Arthur Tudor, the Prince of Wales and Henry VIII's elder brother. Her mother's family were among the most powerful in the country, with large estates in Shropshire and Staffordshire. Sir Robert and Elizabeth had three surviving sons. Roger's two brothers were both MPs: : *Richard Corbet represented Shropshire in the parliaments of 1558 and 1563.〔(S.T. Bindoff (editor): The History of Parliament: Members 1509–1558 – CORBET, Richard (Author: Alan Harding) ), accessed August 2013〕 : *Reginald Corbet, a distinguished lawyer, Serjeant-at-law and Justice of the King's Bench, represented Much Wenlock in 1542 and Shrewsbury in the parliaments of 1545, October 1553 and 1555.〔(S.T. Bindoff (editor): The History of Parliament: Members 1509–1558 – CORBET, Reginald (Author: N.M. Fuidge) ), accessed August 2013〕 Sir Robert also had four surviving daughters by Elizabeth: Jane, Joan or Anne, Mary and Dorothy.〔(Will of Sir Robert Corbet, dated 23 April 1509 and proved 16 November 1513 ) from the National Archives, PROB 11/17, ff. 214-5, available at The Oxford Authorship Site, accessed July 2013.〕 All married into the local landed gentry. Sir Robert died on 11 April 1513. His will made generous provision for his daughters, guaranteeing them their keep and 100 marks each their marriages, but left nothing specific for Richard and Reginald. Roger was his heir and was to inherit all his estates and half of his cattle and household goods, together with "my best salt with the covering, my best piece of silver with the covering, my best goblet and half my spoons."
