• William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester KG (c. 1483/1485 – 10 March 1572), known as The Lord St John between 1539 and 1550 and as The Earl of Wiltshire between 1550 and 1551, was an English Secretary of State and statesman.
• Paulet was eldest son of Sir John Paulet (1460 – 5 January 1525) of Basing Castle at Old Basing, near Basingstoke, in Hampshire and Nunney Castle in Somerset. His mother was his father's cousin, Alice daughter of Sir William and Elizabeth (formerly Denebaud) Paulet. She survived her husband. William had six siblings, including Sir George Paulet of Crondall Manor in Hampshire and Eleanor Paulet (born 1479), wife of William Giffard of Itchell Manor at Ewshot, also in Hampshire.
• There is some disagreement over his date of birth, authorities quoting 1483 or 1485.[1] Also a claim he was ninety-seven at his death would place his birth in 1474 or 1475. There is also uncertainty about where he was born, but it may have been at Fisherton Delamere in Wiltshire, one of his father's manors.[2][3][4]
• His father, who had held a command against the Cornish rebels in 1497, was the head of a younger branch of an ancient Somerset family seated in the fourteenth century at Pawlett or Paulet and Road, close to Bridgwater, being the son of John Paulet and Elizabeth Roos. William's great-grandfather John Paulet acquired the Hampshire estates by his marriage with Constance Poynings, granddaughter and coheiress of Thomas Poynings, 5th Baron St John of Basing (d. 1428/1429).
• William Paulet was High Sheriff of Hampshire in 1512, 1519, 1523, and again in 1527. Knighted before the end of 1525, he was appointed Master of the King's Wards in November 1526 and he appears in the Privy Council in the same year.[5]
• He married Elizabeth (d. 25 Dec 1558), daughter of Sir William Capel, Lord Mayor of London in 1503, and by her, had four sons and four daughters:[6][7]
  • John Paulet, 2nd Marquess of Winchester
  • Thomas
  • Chidiok, Chediok,or Chidiock, governor of Southampton under Mary and Elizabeth
  • Giles
  • Alice, married Richard Stawell, of Cotherston, Somerset
  • Margaret, married Sir William Berkeley
  • Margery, married Sir Richard Waller, of Oldstoke, Hampshire
  • Eleanor (died 26 September 1558), married Sir Richard Pecksall of Beaurepaire, Hampshire, master of the buckhounds[5]
• During his long career Paulet held numerous offices which included:[6][8] .... etc.
• Paulet was still in office when he died, a very old man, at Basing House on 10 March 1572, a house that he held to rebuild and fortify. His tomb is on the south side of the chancel of Basing church.[5]
