John Brydges, 1st Baron Chandos (9 March 1492 – 12 April 1557[1]) was an English Member of Parliament and later peer. His name is also sometimes spelt Brugge or Bruges.[2]
Biography
Brydges was born at Coberley, Gloucestershire,[1] the son of Sir Giles Brydges[3] (c.1462-1511) of Coberley, by his wife Isabel Baynham. He was a prominent figure at the English court during the reigns of Kings Henry VIII and Edward VI and of Queen Mary.[4] Brydges was High Sheriff of Wiltshire for 1537,[1] and took part in suppressing the rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyatt in 1554.[3] As Lieutenant of the Tower of London during the earlier part of Queen Mary's reign, he had the custody not only of Lady Jane Grey and of Wyatt, but for a short time of the Queen's half-sister the Lady Elizabeth.[3]
He was created Baron Chandos of Sudeley on 8 April 1554[2] (one of his ancestors, Alice, being a granddaughter of Sir Thomas Chandos (d. 1375)).[3]
Family
It was around 1512 when Brydges married Elizabeth Grey, daughter of Edmund Grey, 9th Baron Grey de Wilton (died 1511), and Florence Hastings, eldest daughter of Sir Ralph Hastings.[5] They had eleven children. Their son Edmund succeeded to the Chandos barony on his father's death.[4] Their son Charles married Jane, daughter of Sir Edward Carne.[6] Their daughter Katherine married Edward Sutton, 4th Baron Dudley.[7]
Death
He died at Sudeley Castle 12 April 1557,[2] and was buried with heraldic ceremony on 3 May in Sudeley Church.[8] His will, dated 2 March 1556,[1] was proved 28 May 1557.[2][9] In his will, he styles himself as Sir John Bruges, Knight, Lord Chandos of Sudeley.
