I found this interesting.
I came across this while researching John Temple, who was a brother of Sir Richard Temple MP. Where he is mentioned in a pedigree there is a comment 'married several times'. But in the Calendar of State Papers, Charles II there is an entry in 1667
Coventry, Jan 14: John Temple, brother to Sir Richard, is in gaol, having or having had 17 wives
Later in 1669 there is another entry
Aug 29: Reprieve for John Temple, should he be sentenced to be burnt in the hand for polygamy
I haven't yet managed to find any of the ladies to whom he was married - John Temple seems to be quite a common name - but it would be an interesting challenge!
