Note: Sir Richard Fulmerston's parentage is unknown for certain, but his family in all likelihood came from the Norfolk village of Fulmodeston and was probbaly in the employ of the Dukes of Norfolk. Sir Richard entered the service of the 3rd Duke of Norfolk in 1537, and was soon in the service of two of the Duke's children as well.

He obviously profited handsomely from his association with the Howards and acquired much property in Norfolk and Suffolk in the 1540's on the dissolution of the monestaries. He managed to avoid being involved in the fall of the 3rd Duke, who was attainted in 1546 and whose eldest son, the poet Earl of Surrey, was executed in January of 1547. The Duke himself escaped execution only because Henry VIII died the night before he was scheduled to die.

Fulmerston then entered the service of Edward Seymour, soon Duke of Somerset, the Lord Protector for his nephew Edward VI, as controller of his household. He served several terms in Parliament under Edard VI, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth I. Upon the restoration of the Howards, he served in the household of the 4th Duke, for whom he was treasurer until his death.

He was knighted in 1560. He was obviously a very capable man and used his opportunities to the fullest.

Note: Sir James Tyrrell's enduring fame comes from the often repeated story that he murdered the little princes in the Tower at the behest of Richard III or, more accurately, directed their murder. This story was first told in the "Historie of Kyng Rycharde the Thirde," by Sir Thomas More, but it is almost certainly not true. Tyrrell signed a confession to that effect shortly before his execution, according to More. But the confession itself has never appeared and it unlikely in the extreme that Henry VII, in possession of it, would not have revealed it for his own purposes.

A strong Yorkist while that cause lived, he was knighted after the the Battle of Tewkesbury on May 3rd, 1471. In 1473 he conducted the Countess of Warwick to the north of England and served as a member of Parliament from Cornwall in 1477. Richard III, then Duke of Gloucester, made him a knight-banneret on July 24, 1482, for his part in the war with Scotland.

He served in the coronation of Richard III in 1485 and was made Master of the henchman and later, probably, served as Master of the Horse. He received several other offices of profit from Richard III (though not in proportion to the service Tyrrell is supposed to have done him) including being made a knight of the body, steward of the Duchy of Cornwall, and a Chamberlain of the Exchequer.

But he was in Guisnes, an English possession in France, on royal business, at the time of the Battle of Bosworth. Although he lost several offices, he soon gained the favor of Henry VII, and served him in several other offices. He was at the Battle of Dixmude in 1489 and was present at the creation of Prince Henry (the future Henry VIII) as Duke of York in 1494.

In 1501, when Edmund de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk, a first cousin of Elizabeth of York, Queen of Henry VII, and the senior surviving member of the Yorkist branch of the royal family, fled abroad, he tricked Tyrrell into admitting him to Guisnes Castle. Henry VII lured Tyrrell back to England with promises of pardon, but sent him to the Tower where he was executed.

Note: Sir Robert Clere was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1467.He served on several county commissions and was Justice of the Peace of Norfolk from May 9, 1494 until Feb. 11, 1526. He was sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk in 1501-02. He served in the Parliament for Norfolk in 1494.

He was knighted at the creation of the Duke of York (the future Henry VIII) and was present at the reception of Catherine of Aragon nin 1501 and at Henry VII's funeral in 1509. He attended the meeting of Henry VIII with Charles V at Gravesend, 1520, and atended on the Queen, along with his wife, at the meeting of the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
