About Thomas Hussey
- HUSSEY, Thomas II (by 1530-72/76), of the Middle Temple, London.
- b. by 1530, yr. s. of John Hussey, Lord Hussey, of Sleaford, Lincs. by 2nd w. Anne, da. of George Grey, 2nd Earl of Kent; half-bro. of William Hussey II. educ. M. Temple.2
- The Thomas Hussey who sat for Peterborough in the last Marian Parliament could have been one of three younger kinsmen of the deceased Lord Hussey, his younger son, his nephew or his grandson; but of these only the first could have appeared in three Elizabethan Parliaments, since the second, Thomas Hussey I of Halton Holegate, Lincolnshire, died in 1558 and the third was in prison in 1571-2 for his complicity in the northern rebellion. The inference that the Elizabethan Member began his parliamentary career in 1558 is strengthened by two circumstances: the first is that at Peterborough, as in his later seats, he would have enjoyed the patronage of the high steward, Francis Russell, 2nd Earl of Bedford, who was later to become his brother-in-law, and the second that he would have had as his fellow-Member another Middle Templar, Giles Isham. His father’s connexion with Peterborough, where Lord Hussey had been the last high bailiff of the abbot’s liberty, and his own probable link with the first bishop John Chambers, at whose funeral in 1556 a Thomas Hussey carried the banner, are further pointers in the same direction.3
- Little is known of the early career of Thomas Hussey of the Middle Temple. He was so styled when he engaged in a chancery action, brought before Richard Rich as chancellor (1547-51), over the will of his uncle Sir Robert Hussey, and he still kept chambers there in 1562 although he never achieved professional distinction; he shared chambers in 1562 with a Tresham, a connexion which favours his identification with the banner-bearer of 1556. In 1550 his eldest half-brother William was restored in blood, but Hussey himself and his other brothers and sisters were not so redeemed until 1563. One of the sisters, Bridget, then Countess of Rutland and later Countess of Bedford, was first married to Richard Morison. Her brother Thomas was the only other member of the Hussey family mentioned in Morison’s will of September 1550 and it was probably he who in 1552 sent news to Morison, then abroad as ambassador to the Emperor, a service which in turn lends some support to his identification with the Thomas Hussey who had in 1547 been a member of Queen Catherine Parr’s household: he could have been introduced to her service through another brother-in-law Robert Throckmorton. In April 1553 Hussey and Stephen Hales† acted as feoffees to use for Morison and in the following year one of his name (and he is the only such known to have studied at an inn of court) received a crown annuity of 20 marks for his maintenance in the study of the law.4
- Nothing is known of Hussey’s role in the Commons under Mary but in the following reign his parliamentary activities were to reflect his legal training and his Protestantism. He died between the first and second sessions of the Parliament of 1572.

- Biography
- In 1537 Hussey’s father was executed for his part in the Pilgrimage of Grace, and his lands forfeited. Hussey’s eldest half-brother was restored in blood by Edward VI, but he himself and his other brothers and sisters did not receive this favour until 1563. Hussey’s sister Bridget married first (Sir) Richard Morison†, secondly the end Earl of Rutland, and lastly, in 1566, the end Earl of Bedford, who was already connected with the family. Hussey, like Bridget, was a convinced protestant, which makes it likely that it was on his behalf that Bedford used his influence at St. Ives in 1559, rather than on behalf of a younger Thomas Hussey of Caythorpe, Lincolnshire, who was arraigned for taking part in the northern rebellion ten years later. In 1571 and 1572 it was obviously Bridget’s brother who sat, for his namesake was in prison under sentence of death, and although Bedford was sufficiently interested in him to secure his release, his patronage is hardly likely to have extended to obtaining him a seat in Parliament.3
- Hussey’s legal and religious interests are reflected in his work in the Commons. In 1571 he (unless this was John Hussey I) served on a committee concerned with corrupt presentations (25 May). He was named to a committee concerning priests disguised as servants (1 May 1571), and in 1572 he was one of a number of lawyers on the committee for ‘the bill against recoveries suffered by tenants for term of life’ (31 May). He intervened on a point of privilege 11 June 1572, but his major contribution to debate was on 23 May that year in the debate on Mary Queen of Scots,
- An enemy to England, an adulterous woman, a homicide, a traitor to the Queen, a subvertor of the state, an underminer of titles. [Parliament had been summoned hastily] and the same to be called for very necessary considerations ... it should [not] pass without doing ... anything. He hath hitherto forborne to speak, expecting [a] bill whereof to treat. He is now urged to speak and to yield to the greatest reasons. ... He would have the Queen’s Majesty take example by the contention between York and Lancaster, between two kings as this is between two queens. ... Great have been the victories which the Queen’s Majesty have had in spite of the Pope. He would have her as well to use victory as to get victory, else the gotten victory in vain. Let the Queen therefore, while she hath such an enemy in hand, execute her lest hereafter herself come to be executed by her.4
- The date of Hussey’s death is not known, but Bedford was asking for the nomination of a new burgess on 12 Jan. 1576.5
