- Little is known of William Hussey’s early life, but he presumably received a gentleman’s education, perhaps in part at court. While he was still a child a profitable marriage was arranged for him with one of the nieces (it mattered not which) of the childless Sir Thomas Lovell I, who in his will of December 1522 was to leave money for the education of Hussey’s children.3
- The Parliament of 1529 was to be a rewarding one for the Husseys, father and son: both were returned to it and were then raised in rank, the elder receiving a peerage and the younger being knighted ‘in the Parliament time’. In November 1530 Sir William Hussey joined the ranks of Members of this Parliament who served concurrently as sheriff. On Whit Sunday 1533 he attended the coronation of Anne Boleyn and four days later dined with the Princess Mary. A justice of the peace for Lincolnshire when rebellion broke out there in October 1536, he apparently escaped from Sleaford at the same time as his father and rode to London with one servant, who reported ‘that everywhere by the way that he and his master came he heard all the people, both old and young, praying God speed the rebellious people of Lincolnshire’. Hussey’s failure to report such sedition himself was thought by some a matter worth inquiry, but in the event no suspicion seems to have attached to him. It was otherwise with his father, who was to be executed for treason and to forfeit his title and estates.4
- Although Hussey was never to regain his inheritance and was not even to be restored in blood until the next reign, he soon reappeared on local commissions, and in July 1541 received a grant in fee of all the lands in Nottinghamshire of the ex-priory of Beauvale. He had already been involved in property litigation, and the Beauvale lands were to lead to half a dozen Star Chamber suits during the reign of Edward VI. Hussey had probably sat in the Parliament of 1536, in accordance with the King’s general request for the return of the previous Members, and may have done so again in 1539 and 1542 despite the technical bar of his tainted blood; he was not, however, elected in 1545 or on any later occasion. He was restored in blood by Act (3 and 4 Edw. VI, no.30) in 1550—though his brothers and sisters were not to be restored until 1563, shortly after Bridget had married the and Earl of Rutland and presumably on Rutland’s initiative. Why Sir William alone should have been restored at this time is not known; the Act took six weeks to pass the House of Lords but had its three readings in the Commons in only two days.5
- Hussey can scarcely have been a familiar figure at court, for in January 1551, as part of a grant intended to enhance his dignity as admiral, the 8th Lord Clinton was granted the stewardship of Bolingbroke honor in the belief that Hussey was dead: when the mistake was discovered, a new patent was issued granting the stewardship in reversion. Five years elapsed before Hussey’s death on 19 Jan. 1556. He left two daughters, one of whom had married Richard Disney. Two years before his death Hussey had arranged for trustees to hold his property at Beauvale to the use of his wife and his heirs. No will has been found.6

- From: http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/HUSSEY.htm#John HUSSEY (1º B. Hussey of Sleaford)
- According to the Lincolnshire Pedigrees, Sir John Hussey of Sleaford, Knight, first son and heir; Sheriff of county Lincoln 9 Henry VII; aet. 30 at his father's death; Knight of the King's Body 5 Henry VIII; Chief Butler of England 13 Henry VIII; summoned to Parliament 3 Nov 21 Henry VIII, 1529; attained and beheaded at Lincoln 29 Jun 29 Henry VIII, 1537; his children restored in blood only 5 Elizabeth I, 1562. See also Cokayne, "Complete Peerage", 2° ed., vol. VII, pgs. 15-17.
- .... etc.
- When King Henry VIII ascended the throne John Hussey continued to receive the king's favor, receiving large grants of land in Lincolnshire and neighboring counties. He became a member of the council and continued as Knight of the Body and Master of the King's Wards. On 20 Aug 1509 he obtained a pardon for his part in an extortion plot and release of all debts due the crown. It was claimed that he had used his position at court to enrich himself by illegal means. This pardon mentioned his wife 'Margaret Blownt' in a last documented reference to her, suggesting that she died shortly after this time.
- It is believed that John Hussey was remarried almost immediately to Anne Grey, dau. of George Grey second Earl of Kent, and Catherine Herbert. Later in 1509 John Hussey and Anne Grey transferred Basilton manor, Berkshire to Henry Bridges. She inherited Stoke Hammond manor in 1512 and transferred it in 1514 to Richard Wyatt.
- .... etc.
- John Hussey and "Sir William Hussie", either his son or his brother, accompanied Henry on his visit to France in 1520. He was one of 11 knights who attended the King at the Field of Cloth of Gold near Guiness where the Henry met King Francois I of France for three weeks of tournaments, pageants, masques, and banquets. All of the knights in attendance were later created peers or succeeded to peerages.
- .... etc.
- In Jun 1530 he was named Commissioner for Gaol Delivery for Lincolnshre Castle. He entered into an indenture with his son William Hussey 2 Jul 1530 regarding his son's marriage settlement. John Hussey "chamberlain of London", was involved in a suit with Robert Bayley, "mercer of London" in Oct 1530. In Nov 1530 he received custody of Harewode manor and wardship of Henry Rither, son and heir of Thomas Rither. In 1530 Hussey and his son William sold to William Button the Somersetshire manors of Batheaston, Bathampton, Bathford, Twerton, and the Wiltshire manors of Compton Basset, Comerwell, and North Wraxall, according to "Medieval Deeds of Bath and District".
- .... etc.
- Hussey wrote his will 22 Oct 1535 in which he mentioned that he was "somewhat sick in body". In the will he requested "... to be buried in Sempringham church if I die within seven miles of it...". He gave title to Brigeasterton manor and Rutland manor to his wife; his lands he left intail male to "... Sir William Huse, son and heir apparent; sons, Thomas, Gilbert, Sir Giles; brothers, Sir William and Sir Robert Huse; daughters, Mary and Bridget Huse, each to have 500 marks; Executor, brother, Sir Robert Huse...".
- .... etc.
- .... There was a William Hussey with the rebels at Lincoln. He was probably of the same family as John, Lord Hussey. Lord Hussey had been able to bring in his tenants to fight for the King when he had been ordered to do so on 4 Oct 1536. .... etc.
- Eventually Hussey was indicted for treason and a true bill was returned at Sleaford, Lincolnshire in May 1537. At the insistance of the King he and Lord Darcy were tried by the House of Lords at Westminster, and on 15 May 1537 were found guilty of treason. John Hussey lanquished in the Tower for eight weeks at a cost to the crown of '20 shillings per week' for his keep. He maintained his innocence to the end. He addressed one final, futile appeal to the King in Jun 1537. In addition to appealing for his life, he gave an account of his debts and requested they be promptly paid. He also requested that the impending marriage of his daughter, Dorothy to Thomas Wimbish be allowed to procede. The spiteful King denied the marriage request. Before the execution Thomas Cromwell offered him "lyffe, landes and goodes" if he would furnish particulars of those involved in the rebellion, but Hussey was unable to agree to this since, on his own testimony, he was ignorant of the whole affair.
- There is a difference of opinion as to where he was executed, Sleaford or Tyburn, and as to whether he was hung or beheaded. In a history of "The Earlier Tudors"; by Mackie, it is related that Hussey was beheaded in Lincoln. The story tells that on 28 Jun 1537, King Henry wrote to the Duke of Suffolk, '... am sending Hussey for you to behead in Lincoln as soon as possible after his arrival...'. John Hussey and his accomplice, Sir Robert Constable, were delivered out of the Tower 28 Jun 1537 to Sir Thomas Wentworth who conducted them northward with 50 horsemen as guards. The sentence was carried out on the following day and Thomas Darcy, cousin to Hussey, was executed at the same time.
- After John Hussey was attainted of treason and executed, his manor of Sleaford, with other lands to the value of five thousand pounds per annum were confiscated, and forfeited. His children were, however, afterwards restored in parliament the 5° year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth (1563); but neither his estates nor the title were granted to his heirs.

- Hussey, John by William John Hardy
- HUSSEY, JOHN, Lord Hussey (1466?–1537), was the eldest son of Sir William Hussey [q. v.], by Elizabeth his wife; he is referred to as a knight in his mother's will, which is dated in 1503. He fought on the king's side at Stoke in 1486, and became comptroller of the royal household. .... etc.
- However, in the spring of 1537 Hussey again fell under the king's suspicion, and he was arrested, together with Darcy and some others, for complicity in the Lincolnshire rising. On 12 May 1537 a true bill was returned against him at Sleaford. On 15 May he was tried with Lord Darcy at Westminster. Hussey pleaded not guilty,' but he was convicted and sentenced to be executed at Tyburn. Cromwell offered him pardon of 'lyffe, landes, and goodes' if he would furnish particulars of those concerned in the rebellion; but this he could not do, being, he said, ignorant as to the whole affair. Foreseeing no hope of pardon, he earnestly entreated that those bounden to him might not suffer by his forfeiture, and he sent the king a list of his debts. According to Stow he was executed at Sleaford in the following June, but the record of his conviction mentions Tyburn as the place for carrying out the sentence.
- He married Anne, daughter of George Grey, earl of Kent. According to Dugdale he had a second wife, Margaret Blount; but in the documents written by him shortly before his death he speaks of his wife as 'Anne.' Possibly Margaret Blount may have been a first wife.One of his sons, William, seems to have been knighted at Tournai in 1510, and became a privy councillor. His children were restored in blood in 1563, but his attainder was not reversed.
