Sir Henry Compton KB (c. 1584 – c. 1649) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1601 and 1640.
He was re-elected MP for East Grinstead in 1625, 1626 and 1628, sitting until 1629, when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.
[1] In April 1640 Compton was re-elected MP for East Grinstead in the Short Parliament.
[2] He died in or before July 1649, because on that date the committee for compounding ordered that the balance of his fine should be paid by the heirs to his estate.
[1] Compton married firstly Cecily Sackville, daughter of Robert Sackville, 2nd Earl of Dorset; Cecily was his stepsister as a result of his mother's remarriage to the earl.
