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.
