Sir Robert Honywood (3 August 1601 – 15 April 1686), also spelt Honeywood, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1659.
[3] He spent several years in the household of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, who referred to him as her "steward".
[4] During the First English Civil War his marriage into the republican Vane family put him at the heart of the Parliamentary cause (his brother Thomas was also a strong Parliamentarian).
At the same time, he maintained friendly relations with the Queen of Bohemia, and perhaps on this account no action was taken against him at the Restoration of Charles II, who was her nephew, despite the fact that Sir Henry Vane the Younger, executed for treason in 1662, was his brother-in-law.
[2] He retired into private life, and was mainly occupied in his later years with writing a history of Venice, which was published in 1673.
