Thomas Lucy (died 1640)

Sir Thomas Lucy (1583/86 – 8 December 1640) of Charlecote Park, Warwickshire was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1614 and 1640.

[1] His grandfather Sir Thomas Lucy was an MP and is noted for prosecuting William Shakespeare although there is little evidence to support this claim.

He held the seat through several elections until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament.

In November 1640 he was elected MP for Warwick in the Long Parliament but died in December.

[2] Lucy died after falling from his horse and was buried at St Leonard's Church, Charlecote.
