Richard Denys
Richard Denys (c. 1525 – 1593/94), of Cold Ashton, Gloucestershire, was an English politician.
Family[]
Denys was the eldest son of Sir Walter Denys, who was well known in local public affairs, by his first wife. His inheritance did not match his family's social standing. Denys married, by 1557, Anne St John, a daughter of the MP Sir John St. John of Bletsoe, Bedfordshire. Together they had four sons and six daughters.
Career[]
He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Bath in 1547 and for Gloucestershire in 1563. When Denys was elected in 1547, so was his uncle, Maurice Denys. His brothers-in-law, Oliver St. John and Francis Russell, joined them.[1]
