• THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/37, f. 123
• SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the last will and testament, dated 12 August 1550 and proved 17 December 1554, of Geoffrey Gates, the son of Sir Geoffrey Gates (d. 1526) and his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Clopton (for the will of Sir William Clopton (d.1530), see ERO D/DRg 1/95).
• The testator’s brother, Sir John Gates (1504–1553), Sir John Gates (1504-1553) was replaced as executor by a codicil dated January 28, 1554, having been executed on 22 August 1553 along with John Dudley (1504-1553), Duke of Northumberland, as a result of Northumberland’s failed attempt to put his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, on the throne after the death of Edward VI (see BL Stowe Charter 633-4).
• Sir John Clopton (1423-1497), who had the wardship of the testator’s father, Sir Geoffrey Gates (d. 1526), and directed in his will that his ward, Sir Geoffrey Gates (d. 1526), should marry Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir John Clopton’s eldest son and heir, Sir William Clopton (d.1530), which marriage took place, as noted above.
• Both the testator’s brother, Sir John Gates (1504-1553) and another of the testator’s brothers, Sir Henry Gates (d.1588/9) are bequeathed legacies by the testator, and Sir Henry Gates (d.1588-9) was a witness to the will. For the will of Sir Henry Gates, dated 20 December 1588, see TNA PROB 11/73, ff. 376-9.
• One of the testator’s sisters, Anne Gates, married Thomas Darcy, the uncle of Thomas (1506-1558), 1st Baron Darcy of Chiche, Vice-Chamberlain of King Edward VI's household, and brother-in-law of the 16th Earl of Oxford. For the will of Thomas (1506-1558), 1st Baron Darcy of Chiche, see TNA PROB 11/44, ff. 75-6.
• Another of the testator’s sisters, Dorothy, was at court during the years 1540-42 in the household of Queen Katherine Howard (1518x24-1542), and married Sir Thomas Josselyn (b. 1507, d. 24 October 1562). For the will of the testator’s brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Josselyn (b. 1507, d. 24 October 1562), see TNA PROB 11/47, ff. 213-14.

• Pg.2
• the will of the testator’s sister, Dorothy (nee Gates) Josselyn (d.1583?), see TNA PROB 11/65, ff. 79-80.
• The testator’s sister, Dorothy (nee Gates) Josselyn (d.1583?), and her husband, Sir Thomas Josselyn (b. 1507, d. 24 October 1562), had a daughter, Jane Josselyn, who married Oxford’s receiver, Richard Kelton (d.1578). Richard Kelton is mentioned as a friend in the will of Oxford’s stepfather, Charles Tyrrell (d.1570), and was a witness to the will:
• Although no children are mentioned in the testator’s brief will below, the testator’s sons, Geoffrey and Anthony, are mentioned in the will of the testator’s brother, Sir Henry Gates (d.1588/9), as well as in the will, dated 28 January 1582, of Mary (nee Denny) Gates, the widow of the testator’s brother, Sir John Gates (1504–1553). The testator’s son, Geoffrey Gates, was likely the Geoffrey Gates of Lincoln’s Inn who on 9 July 1580 entered into an indenture with his first cousin, Jane (nee Josslyn) Kelton, for the purchase of the 21-year lease of Colne Priory, dated 12 February 1577, made by Oxford to his then receiver, Richard Kelton (d.1578). See ERO D/DPr/175, available on microfilm as ERO Ph 4/152/5. For the will of Mary (nee Denny) Gates, see TNA PROB 11/65, ff. 218-19.
• According to the pedigrees of Walsingham and of Wentworth of Lillingstone Lovell, the testator’s wife, Elizabeth (d.1596), was the daughter of William Walsingham and his wife, Joyce (nee Denny) Walsingham, and the sister of Sir Francis Walsingham (1532-1590). After the testator’s death, Elizabeth married Peter Wentworth (1524–1597) of Lillingstone Lovell, the eldest son of Sir Nicholas Wentworth (d.1553) of Lillingstone

• Lovell, chief porter of Calais, and his wife, Jane (d.1569), the daughter of John Josselyn. For the will of Sir Nicholas Wentworth (d.1553), see TNA PROB 11/39, ff. 144-5. For the will of John Josselyn, see TNA PROB 11/22, ff. 17-19.
• Peter Wentworth (1524–1597) and his wife Elizabeth (nee Walsingham) Gates Wentworth (d.1596), had four sons, including Nicholas Wentworth (1561-1613), who married Susanna, the daughter of co-heir of Roger Wigston of Wolston, Warwickshire, in whose home two of the Marprelate tracts were printed; Walter Wentworth (d.1627); and Thomas Wentworth (1567/8–1628), and six daughters: Katherine Wentworth (d.1558); Christian Wentworth (1558-1567); Christian Wentworth, who married John Amyas; Frances Wentworth (d.1636), who married Walter Strickland (d.1636) of Boynton, Yorkshire; and Mary Wentworth (d.1616), whom married Sir Edward Boys (d.1616) of Fredvill, Kent.
• The involvement of Peter Wentworth (1524–1597) in the issue of the succession resulted in his death as a prisoner in the Tower. From the online edition of The Dictionary of National Biography: Soon after Mary Stuart's execution in 1587, Wentworth drafted A Pithie Exhortation to her Majestie for Establishing her Successor to the Crowne. He hoped to offer it in the parliament of 1589, but, having failed in that ambition, Wentworth lobbied for its presentation to the queen and found himself in temporary confinement once again. He was quite incorrigible, and his meeting with several MPs before the parliament of 1593 to discuss how they might pursue the subject in the Commons turned out to be a fateful decision. Wentworth found himself back in the Tower, and there he remained until his death. . . . Elizabeth was given permission to live with her husband in the Tower where she died in July 1596. Wentworth himself died there on 10 November 1597.
