Hugh Aglionby

Hugh Aglionby (by 1521 – between 1552 and 1554), of London, was an English politician.

Career

Aglionby was a Member of Parliament for Carlisle in 1545.[1] He held the office of a Comptroller of the mint from 8 March 1542 to 25 March 1544. He was a clerk of the council to Queen Katherine Parr twice, the first one by September 1544, and the second time by 8 August 1548. "He later succeeded Walter Butler as the Queen’s secretary and after her death Edward VI granted him and his wife in survivorship an annuity of £30".[1]

Personal life

Aglionby was possibly the son of Edward Aglionby, MP for Carlisle. Hugh was married, by May 1550, to a woman named Anne (d. 1568+).[1] Marion Colthorpe, in Women at Court: Royal Household identifies her as the Mrs. Aglionby who was Mother of the Maids by January 1562 to c. 1570 and states that Mrs. Aglionby was a Gentlewoman of the Queen’s Household by Christmas 1565. She had a lease from the Crown of East Mersea manor in Essex.[2][3]

They had one daughter and at least one son, the MP, Thomas Aglionby.[1]

He was dead by 15 June 1554 when Queen Mary renewed his £20 annuity in his widow's name.[1]
