William Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Kendal, KG (1434–1483)〔Linda Porter. ''Katherine, the Queen'', MacMillan, 2010. ISBN 0-312-38438-6.〕 was an English courtier and soldier. He was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Parr (1405–1461) and his wife Alice, daughter of Sir Thomas Tunstall of Thurland, Lancashire. ==Family== The Parr family originally came from Parr, Lancashire. Sir William's great-grandfather, Sir William de Parre (died 1405), son of Sir John de Parre, lord of Parr; married in 1383 Elizabeth de Ros, daughter of Sir John de Ros of Kendal and Katherine de Latimer, a daughter of Thomas, 1st Baron Latimer of Brayebrooke.〔Douglas Richardson. ''Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families,'' 2nd Edition, 2011. p. 406.〕 Elizabeth was the granddaughter and heiress of Sir Thomas de Ros, Baron of Kendal and had livery of her inheritance. Their marriage alliance with the Ros (or Roos) family enhanced the Parr family standing. On the accession of the Duke of Lancaster as Henry IV of England, Sir William stood so high in the estimation of the new monarch that he was deputed with the bishop of St. Asaph to announce the revolution to the court of Spain. Through his marriage William acquired, by right of his wife, a fourth part of the manor of Kirby in Kendal, Kendal Castle, and one-fourth part of the barony of Kendal, which continued in the family till after the death of his grandson, William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton, when the Marquess's widow surrendered it to Queen Elizabeth I.〔Sir Bernard Burke. ''A Genealogical History of the Dormant: Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages of the British Empire,'' Harrison, 1866. pg 418.〕 It was known as 'The Marquis Fee.' This branch of the family originally resided at Kendal until the Castle fell into disrepair during his son, Thomas', life. Lord Parr's paternal grandparents were Sir John Parr of Kendal (c.1383 – 1409) and Agnes Crophull, widow of Sir Walter Devereux. From her previous marriage she was mother to a younger Walter Devereux, paternal grandmother to Walter Devereux, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and great-grandmother to Anne Devereux, Countess of Pembroke. Parr's maternal grandparents were Sir Thomas Tunstall of Thurland Castle and Isabel Harrington, a grandaunt of Sir Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby. By his maternal grandfather, Parr was a cousin to Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall.〔 After the death of Lady Tunstall, Lord Tunstall remarried to Joan Mowbray, granddaughter of Margaret, Duchess of Norfolk.〔Douglas Richardson. ''Magna Carta Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families,'' 2nd edition, 2011. pg 206-7.〕 Sir Thomas Parr, the courtier's father, was ''sub-vice comes'' (i.e. deputy to the hereditary sheriff, Baron Clifford) for Westmorland from 1428 to 1437 and MP six times. He was assaulted in going to Parliament in 1446, the case being discussed in Parliament. He took an active part in the Wars of the Roses on the Yorkist side and was subsequently attainted in 1459 with the other leading Yorkists (iborn v.348-50). The attainder was reversed in 1461, before his estates had been confiscated. He died in 1464. Sir Thomas left three sons (including William, the subject of this article) and six daughters. Of his other two sons, his second son, Sir John Parr, also a Yorkist, was rewarded by being made sheriff of Westmorland for life in 1462; he married a daughter of Sir John Yonge, Lord Mayor of the City of London, and must have lived until after 1473, as in that year he was one of those exempted from the resumption act (iborn vi.81). His third son, Thomas, was killed at the Battle of Barnet in 1471. His daughters all married members of prominent northern families. 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 Parr, 1st Baron Parr of Kendal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
