William Brereton, 3rd Baron Brereton
William Brereton, 3rd Baron Brereton FRS (4 May 1631 – 17 March 1680) was an English mathematician and politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1659 and became Baron Brereton in the Irish peerage in 1664. He was chairman of the Committee of Accounts, better known as the Brooke House Committee 1667-1670. In that capacity he clashed repeatedly with Samuel Pepys, whose description of Brereton in his Second Diary, or Brooke House Journal, although no doubt biased, is the best portrait we have of the man.〔The Journal is reprinted in Knighton, C.S, ed. ''Pepys' Later Diaries'' Sutton Publishing Stroud 2004 p.1〕
==Early career==
Brereton was the eldest son of William Brereton, 2nd Baron Brereton of Brereton Hall, near Chester 〔(William Duncombe Pink, Alfred B. Beaven ''The parliamentary representation of Lancashire, (county and borough), 1258-1885, with biographical and genealogical notices of the members, &c.'' (1889) )〕 and his wife Lady Elizabeth Goring, daughter of George Goring, 1st Earl of Norwich and Mary Neville. He studied mathematics, spending some time being tutored by John Pell.〔( MacTutor John Pell )〕
In 1659, Brereton was elected Member of Parliament for Newton in the Third Protectorate Parliament and for Bossiney in 1660.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= History of Parliament )〕 By his own account he was a man utterly without influence at Court.〔Knighton p.7〕
Brereton became an original Fellow of the Royal Society on 22 April 1663. He inherited the Irish peerage Baron Brereton on the death of his father in 1664. In 1668 he gave the rectory of Tilston, near Malpas to the mathematician Thomas Branker.
