Robert Hopton (died 1590)

Robert Hopton (died 1590), of Yoxford, Suffolk and of St Mary Mounthaw, London, was Knight Marshal of the Household 1560–1577, and English Member of Parliament for Mitchell in 1563.

[2] Ralph Hopton (died 1571) was appointed Knight Marshal of the Household in 1542, and continued in that office alone until 1556, when he stood down.

[6] He had settled the lands on Rachel in 1557, and on her heirs male if she married a Hopton: the marriage was agreed by 1566.

[8] In 1574 one of his officers, Henry Percivall, and his attendants were brought before a grand jury for arresting men as far afield as Chelmsford and demanding money for their release.

By his will he made Dorothy, then a minor, joint executor with his nephew Arthur Hopton (died 1607), son of his brother Sir Owen Hopton, and appointed Arthur to be her guardian.
