John Suckling (politician)

Sir John Suckling (1569 - 1627) was a politician of Elizabethan and Jacobean England.

In 1600 he purchased Roos Hall near Beccles in Suffolk as his residence. Sir John was knighted by King James I and was successively master of requests, Comptroller of the Household and secretary of state. He sat in the first and second parliaments of Charles I's reign, and was made a Privy Councillor. During his career he was said to have amassed a considerable fortune, which was inherited by his son, the poet, Sir John Suckling.
