Biography

Captain in 1512, at the Battle of Brest, of the 400 ton Mary James. During 1513-14 he was marshal of Tournay after its capture from the French. The Governorship of Jersey was given in 1525 to Sir Anthony, nearly related, by the way, to Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII, and mother of Queen Elizabeth.

Sir Anthony, who, besides his relationship to the Queen of England, seems to have been chiefly noted as having formerly been Governor of Berwick, and for having served eminently in the Scottish wars. While he was Governor of Berwick, in 1515, Margaret, Queen of Scotland, sister of Henry, tried to take refuge there. She was pregnant and took flight with her second husband, Lord Angus, of the regime of the Regent Albany. But Sir Anthony had received orders to admit no one from Scotland without a safe-conduct, not even the King's sister. The Queen and her party had to take sanctuary at Coldstream Priory.

He was knighted, possibly either in 1512 at Eltham or on 16 August 1513 at the Battle of Spurs in France.[1]

He married twice. He married his first wife, Alianora (or Eleanor) sometime before 1514. The Yorkshire feet of fines for Hilary term 1513–14 (5 Henry VIII) records "Anthony Ughtred, kt., and Alianora his wife" as deforciants in an action for the transfer of the Manor of Bekhawe and other lands.[2]

Sir Anthony and his lady were admitted to Corpus Christi Guild, a religious guild of the City of York, in 1518.[3] In 1527, John Hall, an alderman of the City of York, bequeathed two houses in North St, York, to Sir Anthony and appointed him executor of his will.[3]

He married, second, Elizabeth Seymour, daughter of Sir John Seymour, Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Bristol Castle and Margery Wentworth, circa 1530 at of Wolf Hall, Savernake, Wiltshire, England. He died on 20 December 1534 at of Kexby, Yorkshire, England.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Ughtred died BET 1534 and 1537, and was buried, with Sir Thomas Overay, in the crypt of St. George's Chapel, Mont Orgueil, whilst Helier de Carteret lived on, in his turn to make himself unenviably conspicuous. http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/AnthonyOughtred.htm

Notes

I believe the Wikipedia article is correct in citing the earlier birthdate, in light of his military career, and also in citing his parents as Robert and Katherine. This is in contrast to Clay's.

However, the Wikipedia article would be in error in that it would be impossible for this Anthony to be the father of Margery Ughtred, who married William Hungate of Burnby, as stated in Flowers - there is more than a century inbetween these two individuals.

It is not clear at what point Kexby transferred to Dorothy Ughtred Anthony seemed to hold it at his death in 1534. His wife Elizabeth remarried Gregory Cromwell; the profile for Anthony and Elizabeth's son Henry Ughtred says he married at Kexby, but they had no children.
