Norborne was the son of John Norborne of Hilmarton, Wiltshire.〔( ''Parishes: Hilmarton'', A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 9 (1970), pp. 49-65. Date accessed: 5 February 2011 )〕 In April 1640, Norborne was elected Member of Parliament for Calne in the Short Parliament. He supported the King in the Civil War and was fined £380 by the Parliament as a result.〔 Norborne died in 1659, and according to his epitaph, his loyalty to Church and State provoked the people of Calne to some act of violence at his funeral. He was buried in the north transept of the church, where there is a monumental tablet with an epitaph written in Latin and Greekby Thomas Pierce, President of Magdalen College Oxford.〔(Topographical Collections of John Aubrey )〕 Norborne married Mary Chivers, daughter of Henry Chivers of Quemerford and his wife Elizabeth Seacole of Milton, Oxfordshire.〔 His son Walter was later MP for Calne until he was killed in a duel.〔 ==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「Walter Norborne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
