Meghan Markle's historical Lincolnshire connection
Did you know that the 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford is an ancestor of Meghan Markle? This is the story of how Prince Harry’s wife’s family tree spans to a Lincolnshire Lord – who was beheaded for alleged treason against King Henry VIII.
John Hussey, 1st Baron Hussey of Sleaford, was the son of Chief Justice of the King’s Bench Sir William Hussey, and he would go on to be knighted in 1497 after the Battle of Blackheath. Lord Hussey was named as a bodyguard for Henry VIII, and his stock grew from then on as he became Master of Lyfield Forest in Rutland in 1505 and became an MP as knight of the shire for Lincolnshire in 1523.
Lord Hussey was implicated in the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, a rebellion accused of attempting to overthrow the King and change laws. It is a charge he consistently denied.
