Edmund Sheffield, 1st Baron Sheffield
Edmund Sheffield, 1st Baron Sheffield, of
King Henry VIII
.
Life
Following his father's death in 1531, his wardship was granted to George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, the brother of Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn. However, both Rochford and Boleyn were executed in 1536, and his wardship was transferred to John de Vere, the fifteenth Earl of Oxford.
Sheffield married Anne de Vere, daughter of
Cathedral Close when he fell from his horse, removed his helmet assuming the customary capture and eventual ransom, yet was fatally struck by a butcher, reputedly named Fulke.[1] [2] With the loss of a senior commander and his army being broken up in street fighting, Northampton ordered a retreat.[3]
He was buried at St Martin at Palace, Norwich.
