Sir Thomas Wolryche, 1st Baronet (1598–1668) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons for Wenlock between 1621 and 1625. He fought in the Royalist army in the English Civil War, serving as military governor of Bridgnorth. ==Background and early life== Wolryche was born at Worfield,〔 the son of: : *Francis Wolryche of Dudmaston, Shropshire. The Wolryches had large estates in Shropshire, centred on Dudmaston, on the River Severn to the south of Bridgnorth, which they had acquired from the de Dudmaston family through marriage in the early 15th century.〔 : *Margaret Bromley, daughter of George Bromley of Hallon,〔(Grazebrook and Rylands, p. 509 )〕 an estate to the south and east of Worfield. The Bromleys were a dynasty of lawyer-politicians with many branches and great influence in the Welsh marches. Margaret Bromley's uncle, Thomas Bromley, had risen to become Lord Chancellor. Thomas Wolryche was born in the home of another Thomas Bromley, his mother's nephew, as Sir George and his eldest son, Francis Bromley, had died some years earlier. One of his godfathers was Margaret Bromley's brother, Edward Bromley,〔 a prominent member of the Inner Temple and later a Baron of the Exchequer.〔(Thrush and Ferris: ''BROMLEY, Edward (1563-1626), of the Inner Temple, London and Hallon, Worfield, Salop'' – Author: Simon Healy )〕 He succeeded his father in 1614.〔(George Edward Cokayne ''Complete Baronetage, Volume 2'' )〕 As he was still a minor, he was subject to wardship, a potentially costly period in which his estates might profit a stranger. He was rescued from this as, at the age of 16, his wardship was purchased by his mother and uncle, Sir Edward Bromley〔(Thrush and Ferris: ''WOLRYCHE (WOOLRIDGE), Thomas (1598-1668), of Dudmaston, Salop.'' – Author: Simon Healy )〕 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 Thomas Wolryche, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
