It is generally accepted that William was a first cousin
of Sir John Wingfield (d. 1361) of Wingfield and of Sir John's
brother, Thomas (d. 1378) of Letheringham.
William's own entry into the Prince Edward's retinue
was facilitated by his cousin John. He saw military action under
the prince's banner at the siege of Calais in 1347, and in Jun 1355 he
delivered 100 marks to Sir Baldwin Botetourt as a gift made by the
prince at Sir John Wingfield's suggestion. William took part
in the sea fight with the Spanish fleet off Winchelsea in 1356, so he cannot
have been at Poitiers with the prince's army. He had served in Edward
III's army in France in the winter of 1359-60.
After the death of his cousin, William left Prince Edward's
company to become a favoured retainer of Thomas de Vere, 8th Earl of
Oxford. In Dec 1364 De Vere obtained a royal licence to grant
to his esquire for life the manors of Langley and Bradley in Berkshire,
and he subsequently also gave him and his first wife a joint life estate
in the manors of Market Overton and Paston in Northamptonshire. It
was while in Earl Thomas's service that Wingfield was made
a knight, and he followed him across to France in the duke of Lancaster's
army in 1369, there to take part in the engagement ‘a le Hille vers
Harreflete’ (Harfleur). In Dec 1371, after Thomas de Vere's
death, the widowed Countess Maud, feeling too weak to travel, named
Sir William as one of her attorneys to sue in Chancery for her dower lands.
Wingfield was returned to his first Parliament in 1376 in
the company of Sir Richard Waldegrave. In this Parliament, known
at the time as the Good Parliament, Sir William played a prominent
part in the Commons’ attack on ministerial corruption, by providing evidence
for the impeachment of John, Lord Neville of Raby. His sympathies
may have been determined by his early connexion with the Black Prince,
who seems to have supported the stand taken by the shire knights; certainly
he had maintained a close association with some of the prince's retainers.
But a more immediate influence on Wingfield's stance in the Parliament
was that of Michael, Lord de la Pole, the husband of Catherine,
daughter and heiress of his cousin, Sir John Wingfield. One of the
charges brought against Neville was that he had purchased tallies
at a discount from Reynold Love, a London merchant, and had then
secured full allowance on them at the Exchequer. Love, on being
examined in Parliament, said that he had given the tallies to Neville
in part payment for wool and that their full nominal value had been deducted
from his debts, at which point De la Pole and Wingfield came
forward with the assertion that, only the day before, Love had admitted
in their presence the truth of the Commons’ allegations. Their testimony
forced the merchant to retract his earlier statement and so added to the
weight of evidence against Neville.
In 1381 Wingfield held Thrandeston of Edmund de Paston
(Paston Letters). In Feb 1382, while attending the second session of the
Parliament of 1381, he and John of Gaunt's retainer, Sir
Henry Green, shared a grant from the duke of the farm of the
manor of Willisham (Suffolk), rent-free for the duration of a minority.
As there is no other evidence to connect Wingfield with Lancaster
in a personal way, it may be the case that this favour marks an attempt
by the duke to attach the shire knight to his interests of the moment,
for he needed support in the Commons for his Castilian venture.
Well-respected in the community of East Anglia, Wingfield
was constantly in demand as a trustee of estates and an executor of wills.
In the 1360s he had been a feoffee-to-uses of the important Bures estates
inherited by Sir Richard Waldegrave's stepdaughter, Alice;
the early 1370s saw him taking on the trusteeship of those of John,
Lord Bourchier, as such exercising Bourchier's rights of presentation
to the hospital of St. Giles at Little Maldon (Essex); and in 1375 he had
served as executor of the will of the Norfolk landowner, Sir Ralph Shelton
the elder. Along with Waldegrave, he became in 1377 a custodian
of yearly rents amounting to £300 from manors in Nottinghamshire
and Yorkshire, in this instance on behalf of Waldegrave's kinsman,
Sir
John Burgh. More significantly, he had attracted the attention of William
Ufford, earl of Suffolk (d. 1382), who thought so highly of him as
to leave him in his will, made in Jun 1381, an ‘enpension’ of £20
a year for life as well as a covered goblet to keep in his memory. In later
years Wingfield served as a feoffee of the estates of the earl's
kinsman, Sir Robert Ufford. Then, in 1384-5, he was involved in
property transactions on behalf of John Bacon, the King's
secretary, a connexion which had probably come about through the intervention
of his kinsman by marriage, Michael, Lord de la Pole, who was then
chancellor and shortly to be created earl of Suffolk. Wingfield's
connexion with De la Pole was particularly close: Lord Michael
had headed the list of his own feoffees as named in 1377. Among the rest
were Sir Nicholas Gernoun, another of the earl of Oxford's
retainers, who was later (in 1384) to bequeath to him a sparver and a gold
ring, and his cousin, Thomas Wingfield of Letheringham, for whom
he acted both as a trustee of estates and as an executor. Naturally, other
of Sir William's kinsmen called on his services, too, including
Thomas
Wingfield's son and heir, Sir John, and his stepson,
Sir
Robert Carbonel.
The fortunes of the De la Pole family had suffered a serious
rebuff in 1388, and the earl of Suffolk had died in exile in the
following year. But Wingfield continued to offer support to the
earl's son, Sir Michael de la Pole, the new owner of the main Wingfield
estates: he witnessed deeds on Sir Michael's behalf in 1392 and
1397; and in the meantime he became a feoffee of his lands and, in Oct
1396, stood as godfather at the baptism of his second son, William
(who was eventually to be the 4th earl of Suffolk).
Wingfield died on 25 May 1398 and was buried in the chancel
of Dennington church, where traces of his monument yet survive. He was
succeeded by his son, another William, for whom about two years
earlier he had arranged an important marriage, to Catherine, the
younger daughter and coheir of John Hadley, a prominent merchant
and financier of London. In 1417 the younger William served in France
at Agincourt under the earl of Suffolk (his father's godson). There,
the Duc Charles D'Orleans was, Suffolk's old friend, was
captured. When, in the following year, he died childless, his commander,
as his nearest male kinsman, Suffolk inherited his estates.

Margaret
WINGFIELD
Born: ABT 1514
Notes: her husband, Francis Sone (Soone), of Wantisden,
was born by 1523, first son of John Sone of Wantisden. Educ. G.
Inn, adm. 1537. Married first Alice, dau. of Sir John Spelman
of Narborough, Norf.; by whom he had two sons and three daughters.
Suc. family 1552. In May 1544 Francis Sone and his father acquired
the manor, rectory and advowson of Wantisden. On his father's death he
inherited considerable property in Suffolk, including the manors of Boville
and Peche in Alderton and of Campsea and Chillesford, some of which he
sold in Feb 1553 to Robert Vesey. In the autumn of that year he
levied a fine against Francis Harman for houses and pasture in east
Suffolk, and three years later he acquired lands in Sudbury from Roger
Warren, perhaps the brother-in-law mentioned in his will. Sone's
return for Orford on three occasions may have reflected the influence of
the Willoughbys or Wingfields, but as a landowner in the neighbourhood
with some legal training he could well have been the town's own choice.
He was brother-in-law to George Jerningham, Member for Orford and
Dunwich under Mary.
The Protestant leanings expressed in his will may explain his absence from
most of the Marian Parliaments and his belated appointment to the Suffolk
bench.

Notes: Thomas Worlich first emerges clearly in the 1540s.
In Nov 1541 he was granted a 21-year lease of Alconbury rectory and it
was as of Alconbury that in 1546 he was assessed for subsidy at 26s.8d.
on goods valued at £20. His origin and early life are matter for
speculation. It is reasonable to assume that he belonged to the family
of which one branch was settled at Everton and Potton, near Sandy in Bedfordshire,
and another at Wickhambrook, Suffolk. If, as one visitation has it, his
daughter Honor married Charles Worlich of the Suffolk line
he may be thought to have sprung from the other, yet it could have been
at Wickhambrook that he first met Stephen
Gardiner, who came from nearby Bury St. Edmunds and whose protégé
George
Eden was to become a land-holder at Wickhambrook. Worlich's
other principal connexion, with the Wingfields of Kimbolton, may have been
of independent origin. The marriage which sealed it could well have coincided
with his settlement at Alconbury, for Jane Wingfield was
probably born about the time her father died in 1525 and may have given
birth to her first son about 1544. Of the education which qualified Worlich
to be the recipient of Gardiner's
library no trace has been found; he appears to have sent four sons to Cambridge
but not to have gone to either university himself, and his name does not
occur at an inn of court, although his son Francis probably entered
the Inner Temple. Early dependence upon the Wingfields might have taken
him to Calais, and there is a remote chance that he was the Thomas Warley
who served Viscount
Lisle, the deputy, for a number of years before being discharged,
with a reward of 13s.4d., when Lisle's household was dissolved in
1540. Alternatively, he could have joined his future brother-in-law James
Wingfield in service with Gardiner
and perhaps have accompanied the Bishop on his missions abroad.
Worlich was not among Gardiner's
dependants who testified at the trial in 1551 nor does his name occur in
the evidence then given. If Gardiner,
by then a dying man, had a hand in Worlich's election in 1555, it
was presumably the Wingfields who procured him the seat for Huntingdon;
Thomas
Maria Wingfield had recently sat three times for the borough
and it may have been Wingfield's promotion to the knighthood of
the shire which gave Worlich his chance there. Unlike his brother-in-law
Worlich
is not listed among the Members who voted against one of the government's
bills; the division concerned took place within a month of Gardiner's
death and Worlich may either have acted out of respect for the chancellor's
memory orperhaps have been engaged in collecting his legacy of all Gardiner's
‘humanity and law books’. It is unlikely that he shared Gardiner's
beliefs, for in 1564 his Bishop was to commend him to the Privy Council
as ‘earnest in religion and fit tobe trusted’, and in 1571 and 1575
he was to be named to the commission for enforcing the Acts of Supremacy
and Uniformity in the dioceses of Lincoln and Peterborough. In 1558 he
and seven others had been commissioned to investigate breaches of Acts
governing the making of cloth and leather. Worlich is not known
to have made a will and his date of death has not been discovered.

Notes: Colonist, Edwardserved in
Ireland and in the
Low Countries, and was oneof those to whom the original
Patent of
Virginia was granted on
10 Apr 1606. He alone among those patentees whose names are mentioned in the instrument sailed with the first party of
Colonists on
New Year's Day 1607. The list of the
Council was sealed up, to be opened after
landing. Wingfieldwas amoung its members, and on
13 May was elected
President. On 27 May, while leading an exploring party, Wingfieldwas
"shot clean through his beard" by an indian, but escaped unhurt.
He soon fell out withhis colleagues, and on
10 Sep 1607 was deposed.
Soon AFT this he was sued by
John Smithand another of the party for slander,
The case was tried by the
Council and Wingfieldwas cast in heavy damages.
Although agood soldier and an honourable man,
Wingfieldseems to have been whollyunfitted for his post.
He evidently self-confident, pompous and puffed up by asense of his own superior birthand position, unable to co-operate with common men and unfit to rule them.
Moreover, as the
Spanish Government was known to be bitterly hostile to the
Colony and to be plotting against it, those interested in the undertaking were naturally distrustful of a
Roman Catholic. In Apr 1608 Wingfieldreturn to
England. He appears to have been living, unmarried, at
Stoneley,in
Huntingdonshire,in
1613.

WINGFIELD, Sir HUMPHREY (d. 1545), speaker of the House of Commons,
was the twelfth son of Sir John Wingfield of Letheringham, Suffolk, by
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John FitzLewis of West Horndon, Essex. Sir John
Wingfield, the father of four daughters and twelve sons, of whom Sir Richard
(1469?-1525) and Sir Robert are noticed separately, had been sheriff of
Norfolk and Suffolk in 1443-4 and again in 1461. He was knighted by Edward
IV in 1461, and made a privy councillor. In 1477 he was appointed a commissioner
to treat with the French ambassadors at Amiens. He died on 10 May 1481.
His wife's will, dated 14 July 1497, was proved on 22 Dec. 1500.
Humphrey was educated at Gray's Inn, where he was elected Lent reader
in 1517. He had been on the commission of the peace both for Essex and
Suffolk since 1509 at least. Charles Brandon, duke of Suffolk [q v.], was
a cousin of the Wingfields [see Wingfield, Sir Richard], Humphrey being
one of his trustees and probably through his influence Wingfield was introduced
at court. In 1515 he was appointed chamberlain to Suffolk's wife Mary,
queen of France, and was apparently resident in her house. On 28 May 1517
he was nominated upon the royal commission for inquiring into illegal inclosures
in Suffolk (see Leadam, Domesday of Inclosures, 1897, i. 3). He appears
to have acted in 1518, together with his eldest brother, Sir John Wingfield
[see under Wingfield, Sir Anthony], as a financial agent between the government
and the Duke of Suffolk. On 6 Nov. 1620 he was pricked high sheriff of
Norfolk and Suffolk, and on 14 Nov. was appointed a commissioner of gaol
delivery for Essex. In 1523 and 1524 he was a commissioner of subsidy for
Suffolk and for the town of Ipswich. On 26 June 1525 he was appointed a
commissioner of assize for Suffolk, On 5 Feb. 1526 he was a legal member
of the king's council. He is mentioned in a letter dated 25 March 1527
as 'in great favour with the cardinal' and he took an active part in the
establishment of the 'cardinal's college' at Ipswich in September 1528.
On 11 June 1529 he was nominated by Wolsey one of a commission of twenty-one
lawyers presided over by John Taylor (d. 1534) [q. v.] to hear cases in
chancery, and on the following 3 Nov. he was returned to parliament for
Great Yarmouth.
In 1530 the fall of Wolsey brought with it the forfeiture of his college
at Ipswich, and Wingfield was consulted as one of 'the best counsel,' with
a view to securing the exemption of the college from the penalties of Wolsey's
praemunire. On the other hand, he was nominated by the crown on 14 July
1530 a commissioner to inquire into Wolsey's possessions in Suffolk. In
this capacity he, sitting with three other commissioners at Woodbridge,
Suffolk, returned a verdict on 19 Sept. that the college and its lands
were forfeited to the king. He was at the same time high steward of St.
Mary Mettingham, another Suffolk college, and under-steward in Suffolk
of the estates of St. Osyth, Essex.
On 9 Feb. 1533 the commons presented Wingfield to the king as their
speaker. According to Chapuys, the king 'conferred on him the order of
knighthood' on this occasion. He is styled 'Sir' in a petition of this
year, and frequently afterwards, though, according to the list in Metcalfe's
'Book of Knights' (p. 71), he was not dubbed before 1537. During his speakership
were passed the acts severing the church of England from the .Roman obedience
and affirming the royal supremacy. There can be little doubt that Wingfield
was in full sympathy with Henry's policy. He appears to have received from
the crown a salary of 100l. a year 'for attendance,' an addition, doubtless,
to the 'wages' found by his constituency.
Parliament was dissolved on 4 April 1536. On the outbreak of the northern
rebellion in 1536 Wingfield was one of the Suffolk gentry upon whom the
government relied for aid. He justified Cromwell's opinion of him by his
zeal to suppress the seditious incitements of the friars and other disaffected
ecclesiastics. He was nominated in 1536 a commissioner for the valuation
of the lands and goods of religious houses in Norfolk and Suffolk. For
these
services he was rewarded by a grant in tail male, dated 29 June 1537, of
the manors of Netherhall and Overhall in Dedham, Essex, and all the lands
in Dedham belonging to the suppressed nunnery of Campsie, Suffolk, also
of the manor of Crepinghall in Stutton, Suffolk, and all lands there belonging
to the late priory of Colne Comitis (Earls Colne) in Essex. According to
a letter written by him to Cromwell soon after this grant he would, but
for it, 'have had to begin the world again,' having 'lost half his living
by his wife's death.' On 4 July 1538 he was nominated upon a special commission
of oyer and terminer for treasons in six of the eastern counties. He was
also commissioned to survey the defensive points of the coast when in 1539
there were apprehensions of an invasion. He was among the knights appointed
to receive Anne of Cleves in January 1540. After the conviction of the
Marquis of Exeter he received a grant of a lease of his lands in Lalford
Says, Ardelegh, Colchester, and Mile-End, in Essex and Suffolk.
Wingfield died on 23 Oct. 1545 (Inq. port mortem, 16 Jan. 1546). He
married between 1502 and 1512 Anne, daughter and heiress of Sir John Wiseman
of Essex, and widow of Gregory Adgore, Edgore, or Edgar, serjeant-at-law.
His son and heir, Robert, married Bridget, daughter of Sir Thomas Partiger,
knt., alderman and lord mayor of London in 1530. His daughter Anne married
Sir Alexander Newton. Wingfield's arms are still in the fourth window on
the north side of Gray's Inn Hall.
