Sir Ralph Sadler
(1587) He began his career in the household of
Thomas Cromwell. Sent by Henry VIII on several
diplomatic missions to Scotland, including that to
arrange the proposed marriage between Prince Edward and
Mary, Queen of Scots. Before King Henry died he
appointed Sadler to sit on the Council of State to
govern England during the minority of Edward VI. He
retired from public duty during the reign of Queen Mary
but returned when Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, as
the trusted colleague of Lord Burghley. He continued his
missions to Scotland to treat with the Scottish
Protestants. He became Mary, Queen of Scots reluctant
jailer. He arrested the Duke of Norfolk during the
rising of the norther earls and sat on the council that
sentenced Mary to death.
Sadler married Margaret Mitchell or Barré. According to
Catholic writers she was a laundress, and he had married
her during the lifetime of her husband, Ralph Barré;
however when this marriage took place the latter had
gone abroad and was presumed dead, so this accusation
seems to have been sybstantially correct. In 1546 a
private act of parliament was passed to legitimise his
children. No wife is shown on the tomb. |
