Sir George Blagge (1512 – 17 June 1551) was an English courtier, politician, soldier and a minor poet. He was the Member of Parliament for Bedford from 1545 to 1547, and Westminster from 1547 to 1551, during the reign of Edward VI. His trial and condemnation for heresy in 1546 earned him a place in Protestant martyrology. His family surname was frequently rendered Blage by contemporaries, while another variant was Blake. ==Early life and education== Blagge was the younger of two sons of Mary Brooke and Robert Blagge. : * Robert Blagge was an Exchequer Baron〔 – an important post in a court dealing mainly with equity cases. He had prospered in the Tudor administration and owned land in several parts of England:in the south-west in rural Somerset and at Bristol; near London at Holloway and Westminster in Middlesex; and in the south-east, especially at Dartford in Kent.〔 : * Mary Brooke was the daughter of John Brooke, 7th Baron Cobham of Cobham, Kent, an important landowner in the vicinity of Blagge's Kent holdings. Her sister, Alelye, was Robert Blagge's first wife. She was his second wife and married him in 1506.〔 George was born about six years later. George's father, Robert, died in 1522. He left George the use of his lands in the south-west and at Holloway, as well as two houses at Dartford. The elder son took the property in Westminster, but it seems that George later moved there and he was described as "of Westminster and Dartford" in later life.〔 George Blagge was educated at Cambridge.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George Blagge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
