Hugh Boyville was a landowner who held a number of public offices and served as a Member of Parliament for Rutland in 1439-40 and 1447.
[4] Details of Hugh's marriage were provided as evidence in litigation relating to property that took place in 1486 between his son William and John Norwich of Brampton Dingley.
The relevant volume of the History of Parliament mistakenly estimates Hugh's death as taking place about 1465 without stating why that year was proposed.
[9] Hugh's alleged activities during his second term as sheriff gave rise to a petition to the House of Commons submitted by Agnes Bermythier.
She also alleged that Hugh empanelled a biased jury when the matter came before the justices of the peace and that Thomas Berkeley prevented her from suing and still threatened her.
