Biographical notes

This Member was presumably the Henry Warner who was baptized at Milk Street, London, in January 1551, with Henry, Earl of Rutland and Sir Walter Mildmay as godfathers. The Duchess of Richmond, daughter of the Duke of Norfolk and widow of Henry VIII’s illegitimate son, was godmother. The birth of an heir to Robert was an event of considerable importance in the family, since Sir Edward Warner, Robert’s younger brother, had no surviving sons. The lands descended to Robert, and then to Henry.2

Warner’s will, made in June 1616, was proved in July the following year. It mentions two daughters (one deceased) and a grandson, but the bulk of the property was to descend to his son Edward. An interesting provision withdrew the use of the property from Edward if he played at cards or dice at the rate of more than 20s. per night. ‘Any wife that he [Edward] shall happen to marry’was to have a jointure of £200. Sir John Crofts and Serjeant Thomas Athowe were the executors, and (Sir) Edward Coke supervisor.5
