Walter Erle
Sir Walter Erle or Earle (22 November 1586 – 1 September 1665) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1614 and 1648. He was a vigorous opponent of King Charles I in the Parliamentary cause both before and during the English Civil War. ==Early life== Erle was the son of Thomas Erle of Charborough House in Dorset and his wife Dorothy Pole, daughter of William Pole of Columpton, Devon.〔(John Burke ''A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners of Great Britain, Volume 4'' )〕 He inherited the estate Charborough at the age of 11 on the death of his father. He matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford on 22 January 1602 aged 15. In 1604 he became a student of Inner Temple.〔( 'Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714: Eade-Eyton', Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714: Abannan-Kyte (1891), pp. 440-479. Date accessed: 9 December 2011 )〕 In 1614, Erle was elected Member of Parliament for Poole.〔( History of Parliament Online - Erle, Walter )〕 He was knighted on 4 May 1616, and in 1618 served as High Sheriff of Dorset.〔 Like many of the other leading citizens of Dorset, he was an early investor in projects to colonise New England. He and his brother Christopher were both shareholders in the Virginia Company in 1620, and he attended the meeting of that company on 21 May 1621. He was a friend of John White and became a founder member of the Dorchester Company, being described as "Governor of the New England Plantation".〔(Michael Russell ''Sir Walter Erle'' )〕
