Sir John Wright (1488 – 5 October 1551) was a member of the English gentry who worked closely with King Henry VIII. He was also an ancestor of the famous Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright. ==Biography== Wright was born in 1488 in Kelvedon, Kelvedon Hatch, Essex, England. He was born to Reverend John Wright (27 October 1450 – 5 May 1509) and wife Agnes (born in Dagenham, Essex). The younger John Wright was christened 12 July 1488, in Dagenham, Essex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://richardpyoung.org/getperson.php?personID=I3442&tree=young01 )〕 In 1509 Wright married Olive Hubbard (1487 – October 1560). Wright was a yeoman in England who was "very useful" in King Henry VIII's battle with Pope Clement VII to secede from the Roman Catholic Church and form the Church of England. With support from the King, Wright became "quite wealthy" and was knighted on 20 June 1509.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~havens5/p50822.htm )〕 The grant included a coat of arms for the Wright family along with the inheritable title, and a seat on the King's council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.deloriahurst.com/deloriahurst%20page/2701.html )〕 In 1538 Wright purchased Kelvedon Hall from Richard Bolles for £493 6s 8d.〔 Wright Hall, which had been known before as Weald Hall in the past, had also been owned by Sir Brian Tuke at one point. The estate stayed in the Wright family almost four centuries until 1922 through the descendants of son John Wright (born 1510), the eldest of Wright's children. In the 18th century, the manor was rebuilt by the seventh John Wright.〔 Wright died at age 63 on 5 October 1551 at Dagenham Manor, at Kelvedon Hatch, Essex. He had had a will drawn up on 25 September 1551, and per his request in the will was buried in the chancel of Kellydon Church.〔 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「Sir John Wright」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
