Robert Gage (MP)

Robert Gage (c. 1519 – 20 October 1587), of Haling, Surrey, was an English politician.

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Lewes in April 1554.

In 1577 he was said to be ‘the Queen’s majesty’s prisoner in his own house’ when reported for not attending church.

His elder son Robert was executed 21 September 1586 for complicity in the Babington Plot and the younger, John, was imprisoned as a recusant.

His lordship of Haling and manor of Truchante descended to his surviving son John Gage, then aged 24, who was the father of Sir Henry Gage the royalist.
