Robert Danvers also Wright, Howard and Villiers (19 October 1624 – 1674) was an English soldier and landowner who briefly sat in the House of Commons in 1659 and 1660.
The illegitimate child of a notorious liaison, Danvers had at least four different names, changed his religion four times, and sided according to circumstances with Royalists, Parliamentarians, the restored monarchy, and its opponents.
His mother brought him back to England at the start of the English Civil War and Lord Purbeck was persuaded to recognise him as his son and let him assume the name Villiers.
In April 1660 he was elected as one of the members for Malmesbury to sit in the Convention Parliament, but after the Restoration of Charles II, he was challenged over the treasonable remarks he had made about the previous King's execution.
He was forced to leave England to escape his creditors and died at Calais in 1674, where he was buried a Roman Catholic in the church of Nôtre Dame.
