Biography

Sir Philip Tilney was a member of the Commissions of the Peace for the counties of both Suffolk and Norfolk named in State Papers from 1 March 1515/6 (6 Henry VIII). ^[1]

The Visitation of Suffolk details Philip's three wives and the children he had by them although it does not provide dates: ^[2]

1. Margaret, daughter of ... Brewes of Wenham, Suffolk
   1. Thomas son and heir
   2. Philip
2. Jone (Joan) daughter of Thomas Tey of Layer de la Hay, Essex
   1. Edmond
3. Elizabeth daughter of ... Jeffrey of Stansfield, Suffolk and Elizabeth Glenham, daughter of John Glenham and Ellenor Brandon.
   1. Katherin married to ... Baker
   2. Elizabeth married to Peter Clarke
   3. Anne married to John Hubbert of Norfolk. (In her father's will of December 1532 she is named as Agnes).

Philip wrote his will on 8 December "in the xiiij yere ... of Kynge Henrye xiij th" (1532) and the will was proved by his widow Elizabeth on 8 October 1533 ("octavo die mens octobris Anno Dm millimo quingentesimo trecesimo tercio") ^[3]

A transcription of the will has been made by Nina Green for the Oxford Shakespeare website. ^[4] The paper also analyses the relationships between the persons mentioned in the will. It gives an (unsourced) death date of 8 January 1532/3.

Research note

Philip was knighted on 14 November 1501 on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Arthur to Catherine of Aragon. ^[5]
