Francis Fulford (politician)

Sir Francis Fulford (c. 1583 – 1664) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1625.

He matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford on 16 February 1599, aged 15 and was a student of Middle Temple in 1601.

[2] During the English Civil War he was an active royalist and was captured and briefly imprisoned in Devon in early 1643.

Viewed with understandable suspicion by the Cromwellian regime, he lived quietly on his estates until the Restoration of Charles II.

The marriage led to a lengthy lawsuit with his brother-in-law Sir Francis Ashley, who married Elizabeth's sister and co-heiress Anne.
