GREAT HAMPDEN

• .... etc.
• .... John de Hampden, the son of Reginald, held the manor in 1346, (fn. 16) and was a knight of the shire in two Parliaments of Edward III in 1351–2, and again in 1363. (fn. 17) He died in 1375, and his son Edmund inherited the manor, (fn. 18) and, like his father, represented the county in Parliament. (fn. 19) He was also sheriff of the two counties five times during the reigns of Richard II, Henry IV, and Henry V. (fn. 20) John Hampden, his son, succeeded him, (fn. 21) and obtained, in 1446–7, a charter of liberties within his manor of Great Hampden, granting him a view of frankpledge twice a year, with the assize of bread, wine, and ale, and other privileges. He also had a grant of free warren in his demesne lands, and licence to inclose and impark 500 acres of land and 100 acres of wood in the manor. (fn. 22) He was sheriff in 1456. (fn. 23) Thomas Hampden succeeded him in 1457–8, (fn. 24) and held the manor till his death, shortly after the accession of Henry VII. (fn. 25) His heir was his son John Hampden, (fn. 26) but the manor seems to have been in the hands of trustees or feoffees till 1495, when they demised it to John Hampden. (fn. 27) He died the next year, (fn. 28) and Great Hampden passed to his son John. (fn. 29) The second John Hampden was knighted before 1513, and in that year was with the royal fleet in command of The Saviour. (fn. 30) He also may be identified with the Sir John Hampden 'of the Hill' who followed Henry VIII to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, (fn. 31) and attended him at his meeting with the Emperor Charles V. (fn. 32) On his death in 1553 (fn. 33) he left two daughters as his heiresses, but he left Great Hampden by will to his cousin John Hampden, (fn. 34) the son of William Hampden of Dunton, and of Audrey one of the daughters and heiresses of Richard Hampden of Great Kimble. (fn. 35) John Hampden left the manor to his son Griffith in tail male, and the latter succeeded to it on his father's death in 1558. (fn. 36) He died in 1591, and it passed to his son William Hampden, (fn. 37) who married Elizabeth daughter of Sir Henry Cromwell and aunt of the Lord Protector. (fn. 38) He did not survive his father many years, dying in 1597, (fn. 39) and naturally had not taken so much part in the public life of the county as some of his predecessors. His will is interesting, and suggests that his life was mainly occupied with country pursuits, his horses being carefully described and generally bequeathed by name. (fn. 40) His son and heir John was a minor at the time of his father's death. (fn. 41) He afterwards became the most famous member of his family, earning the name of the 'Patriot' (fn. 42) by his refusal to pay the illegal tax of ship-money. He was born in London, but probably lived as a boy at Great Hampden. (fn. 43) He was sent for three years to the grammar school at Thame, and in 1609 became a commoner of Magdalen College, .... etc.
