Henry Marten (politician)
- Henry Marten (politician)
Sir Henry Marten (c. 1562 - 1641) was a Judge of the Admiralty Court and father of the regicide, Henry Marten.
Sir Henry was probably born in London, supposedly the son of Anthony Marten, a merchant, originally from Wokingham in Berkshire. He was educated at Winchester School and at New College, Oxford, becoming a fellow of the college in 1582. Having become a barrister, he secured a large practice and soon came to the front in public life. He was sent abroad on some royal business, was made chancellor of the diocese of London, was knighted, and in 1617 became a judge of the admiralty court.
Later he was appointed a member of the court of high commission and dean of the arches. He became a member of parliament around 1625, and in 1628 represented the university of Oxford, taking part in the debates on the petition of right. His chief residence was Longworth House at Longworth in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), where he died on 26 September 1641.
