Henry's Well Beloved Servant

Legg inn av paul bulkley » 25 jul 2007 18:45:03

Ann Wroe's excellent text "Perfect Prince" mentions
Robert Bulkeley Feb 3rd 1494 as "the Well Beloved
Servant of Henry VII. However that beloved servant was
hung 23 days later.

There were a number of groups conspiring to replace
the good Henry with the claimed Richard Plantagent.
Robert Bulkeley, a yeoman of the Chamber, was in
communication with Debenham, Savage, two Westminster
Abbey monks, and presumably Sir William Stanley Lord
Chamberlain. Quite a number came to a sticky end. Sir
William Stanley was beheaded 1495, and his bastard son
Thomas accommodated in the Tower for a number of
years.

Ann Wroe advises that Robert Bulkeley was related to
Sir William Stanley through a series of marriages. I
would imagine that Robert was a member of the Bulkley
Eaton line. His ancestor William Bulkley being deputy
justice of Chester under Sir John Stanley and in later
years under Sir Thomas Stanley.

The question is the identity of this Robert. A
possible candidate is the son of William Bulkley who
married Margaret daughter Richard Molineux of Sefton
Lancashire.

Ormerod mentions that this William Bulkley died 1507,
and his wife Margaret 1528. He assumed that their two
sons Robert and Richard died as infants no explanation
was given.

Perhaps there is a subscriber who can explain Robert's
ancestry?
