Notizen zu dieser Person
Sir Fulke Greville of Beauchamp's Court was the second son of Sir Edward Greville of Milcote and Anne Denton. His father arranged a marriage between Fulke's older brother and the beautiful heiress Elizabeth Willoughby. Elizabeth surprised everyone by expressing her preference for the younger son Fulke, and Sir Edward agreed to the match. Fulke married Elizabeth Willoughby, and they had seven sons and eight daughters. In time, Elizabeth received her inheritance, and the Greville's lived in what was considered to be the utmost of luxury at that time. Sir Fulke was active in local administration; he served with 40 men in the suppression of the Pilgrimage of Grace and in the army against France in 1544 as part of the rearguard. He attended the reception of Anne of Cleves and the funeral of Henry VIII. His standing in his shire is reflected in his election as one of its knights, and usually as the senior, to four Parliaments, more than any other of its gentlemen achieved. He was the grandfather of the well-known Fulke Greville III, poet and courtier of Queen Elizabeth I. His tomb is incredibly elaborate, and includes the life-sized effigy of his wife Elizabeth, with small effigies of their children on the sides.
