______
Sir William Pelham (c. 1528 – 1587) was an English soldier and Lord Justice of Ireland, which was a military and political role rather than a judicial one.[1]
Life
He was third son of Sir William Pelham of Laughton, Sussex, by his second wife, Mary, daughter of William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys of the Vyne near Basingstoke in Hampshire and his wife Margaret Bray. His full brothers included Edmund Pelham, Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer: their eldest half-brother was Sir Nicholas Pelham (1517-60). His father died in 1538, and Pelham was probably thirty when he was appointed captain of the pioneers at the siege of Leith in 1560. Among the siege works, his pioneers built a sconce with four bastions which was called "Mount Pelham." William was commended on that occasion; but, according to Humfrey Barwick, his bad engineering was responsible for the wound inflicted during the assault on Arthur Grey, 14th Lord Grey de Wilton, the son of the army's commander.[2]
etc.
Pelham married, first, Eleanor (died 1574), daughter of Henry Neville, 5th Earl of Westmorland and his first wife Anne Manners. By her, he had one son, Sir William Pelham, who succeeded him, and married Ann, eldest daughter of Charles Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby of Parham and Margaret Clinton.
He had a second wife by 1576. She became Dorothy Pelham (died 1623). Her father was Anthony Catesby of Whiston, Northamptonshire, and she was the widow of Sir William Dormer,[5] He and his second wife had a son, Peregrine, and a daughter, Ann.[5] Dorothy left an endowment that became part of the foundation of the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe.[6]
