Notes: undoubtedly owed his knighthood of the shire for Northamptonshire in 1547 to the influence of his father who was present at the election: the father owned or was steward of several manors in the southern part of the county, and himself sat in this Parliament for Oxfordshire. When returned, the son was young and inexperienced; he may have been the Henry Williams of the stable who served in the army against France in 1544 but he had played no part in civil affairs, so that it was doubtless his father who as ‘Mr. Williams’ had several bills committed to him. In Aug 1548 Henry Williams and his younger brother Francis were in Padua, but he may have returned to England in time for the second session of the Parliament as in Oct he was named an overseer of the will of Robert Burdett. He died of the Sweating Sickness, s.p., and was buried in London on 20 Aug 1551, ‘with banners of arms, coats of armour and four dozen escutcheons’. His brother's death in the same epidemic left their father without a male heir. An epitaph on Henry Williams was written by Thomas Norton. It is not known who replaced him in the House.

Notes: sometimes called Marjorie, she met Elizabeth Tudor when the future Queen was lodged at Thame on her way to Woodstock during the reign of Mary Tudor. The two women became close friends and Elizabeth called Margery her “crow”. Margery married Henry Norreys, who was knighted in 1566 and sent to France as ambassador. His wife stayed at Rycote.
