Dudley Fortescue (MP for Sudbury)

Dudley Fortescue (died 1604), of Faulkbourne, Essex, was an English Member of Parliament (MP).

The son of the politician Henry Fortescue, Dudley was a Member of the Parliament of England for Sudbury in 1593.

[1] In September 1604 he hanged himself at Blunt's Hall in Little Wratting.

[2] As his death was caused by suicide, his property and goods were forfeit to the crown.

King James awarded his goods to Margaret Hartsyde, a chamberer servant of Anne of Denmark, and the Privy Council wrote to Sir Nicholas Bacon to make sure she got full benefit.
