History |
Of old Lincolnshire stock, Robert Tyrwhitt inherited a tradition of service to the crown: his grandfather had been a knight of the body and his father, who received his knighthood at Tournai, Walloon, Belgium, was an outstanding figure in his shire. Through his grand-mother Tyrwhitt could claim to be linked by marriage with Henry VIII's mistress Elizabeth Blount and their son the Duke of Richmond (Elizabeth "Bessie" Blount was the wife of the nephew of Maud Talboys). |
