Nicholas L'Estrange

Sir Nicholas le Strange (1511–1580) was an English Member of Parliament (MP). The son of Sir Thomas Le Strange, he was knighted in 1547. He was appointed as steward of the manors of the Duchess of Richmond in 1546, and also Chamberlain to the Duke of Norfolk. Almost certainly at Norfolk's nomination, he was elected MP for the County of Norfolk in the Parliament of 1547, for King's Lynn in 1555 and Castle Rising in 1571. (His brother, Richard, also sat as an MP for boroughs under the Duke of Norfolk's influence in 1559 and 1563.) He was not elected to Parliament again after Norfolk's fall in 1572. He married in 1528 Eleanor, daughter of Sir William Fitzwilliam. He was buried 19 February 1580 at Sedgeford, Norfolk.
