Thomas was an English lawyer and politician elected to the House Of Commons for Oxford, 1604, 1614, 1621, 1624, 1625, 1626 and 1628. In Parliament he was an ardent and sometimes violent opponent of the Crown and of the abuse of royal prerogatives. He oposed the projected union of England and Scotland when it was discussed in 1607. He was appointed Recorder of Oxford in 1607 and held the post until 1623. He fell out with Oxford University, both for his activities in Parliament and his conduct as Recorder of Oxford, in particular his support for the City's desire to establish a police force to patrol the streets at night. This led to his being suspended from membership in the University by the Vice-Chancellor. In 1614 he spoke in Parliament against the imposition of illegal taxes, in which he argued that the Spanish loss of the Netherlands Henry IV of France were the just reward for such impositions; for this inflammatory speech he was imprisoned after the dissolution of Parliament, chiefly to appease the French ambassador. In the Parliament of 1621 he opposed the proposed marriage of the Prince of Wales to a Spanish Princess, and when the King angrily wrote to the Speaker that the Commons should not interfere with such matters of state, he boldly stated he never yet read of anything that was not fit for the consideration of Parliament. In the 1624 parliament he was a strong advocate of declaring war on Spain. He died during his last term in Parliament in 1628 at Henley-on-Thames. (Wikipedia)

Notes:

Peter was of Lillingstone Darrell, Buckingham and Member of Parliment for Tamworth for 28 years. He with his brother Paul were leaders of the Puritan party in the time of Queen Elizabeth, and was committed to the Tower of London and is reported to have died there 10 Nov. 1596. Two years before his death he wrote while in the Tower a discourse on Succession to the Crown.

Sir Peter was from a strong Puritan background with a radical religious upbringing. Some of the family went into exile during the reign of Queen Mary. Peter inherited Lillingstone Lovell from his father. He entered the Parliament House of Commons in 1571 for Barnstaple and subsequently in 1572 for Tregony and 1586, 1589 and 1593 for Northampton. His strong defense of religious freedom ensured a continuous clash with the established way. He was chastised by Archbishop Parker over the issue of members of Parliament determining for themselves whether something in a bill agreed with the Word of God. His philosophy could be summed when he said that he had rather commit some folly in speech than do injury by silence. Inroads on the freedom of speech by leaders in Parliament and the Queen led to his explicit criticism of her and within a few days he was sent by the House leadership to the Tower. A month later at the end of the Session, the Queen intervened and he was returned to the House. In march 1587 he again agitated in the House for certain liberties and with Anthony Cope and 3 others was sent to the Tower for the remainder of the Session. In August 1591 he was committed a prisoner to the Gatehouse until February 1592 because of a tract he drafted to the Queen. In February 1593 an unrepentant Wentworth again pushed forward with his agenda of freedom and as a disturber of the Queens policy of peaceful transition of power and was again imprisoned in the Tower. There he remained until his death even though he likely could have secured his release upon repentance which he would not do. His wife Elizabeth was permitted to live with him in the Tower where she preceded him in death in July 1596. Although he was not given much respect by his own generation of House members, his notions of freedom and about privilege and power became the accepted doctrine with the parliamentary opposition of the next generation.
