William Combe (1586 – 30 January 1667) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640. Combe was the son of Thomas Combe of Warwickshire and his wife Maria Savage.〔(Combs families - Visitation of Warwickshire 1619 )〕 He was baptised at Stratford on 8 December 1586.〔( Charlotte Carmichael Stopes ''Shakespeare's Warwickshire contemporaries'' )〕 He matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford on 8 July 1603 aged 15.〔( 'Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714: Colericke-Coverley', Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714: Abannan-Kyte (1891), pp. 304-337. Date accessed: 1 March 2011 )〕 The Combe family had some connection with William Shakespeare. Combe's uncle another William Combe was High Sheriff and sold property to Shakespeare in 1602. Another uncle John Combe left Combe some land at Welcombe when he died in 1614.〔(The Combs Genealogy )〕 Combe immediately caused a local dispute when he tried to enclose some land at Welcombe. The council took action against Combe's enclosure, but Shakespeare gave some support to Combe. Combe was probably High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1616.〔 In April 1640, Combe was elected Member of Parliament for Warwickshire in the Short Parliament. He was elected MP for Warwickshire for the Long Parliament in November 1640, but his election was declared void in December 1640.〔 Combe died at Stratford in January 1667 aged 80.〔 Combe married Katharine Boughton, daughter of Edward Boughton.〔 She died in 1662. They had one son and nine daughters.〔 ==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「William Combe (MP)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
