Robert Strelley

Robert Strelley (by 1518 – 23 January 1554), of Great Bowden, Leicestershire, was an English politician, soldier, and courtier to Mary I of England.

[3] Strelley fought with Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk at the siege of Montreuil in 1544, and in Scotland, probably at the battle of Pinkie.

Robert Wingfield listed him, as a man "whose family was not obscure", in a catalogue of Mary's supporters.

[8] In 1548, he married Frideswide Knight, a descendant of Thomas de la Haye of Spaldington, Yorkshire, but left no children.

[9] Edward VI gave the couple property and a fee-farm rent income from the lands of Egglestone Abbey.
