John Lyttelton (MP)

John Lyttelton (MP)

John Lyttelton was the eldest son of Gilbert Lyttelton and was a Member of Parliament for Worcestershire during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. He married Meriel, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord Chancellor of England. He was concerned in the rebellion of Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex in 1599 and was in consequence tried for high treason, but died in prison in July 1601. In consequence, his estates (in Frankley, Halesowen, Hagley and Upper Arley) were forfeited to the Crown, but were restored to his widow Merriel on the accession of James I. She survived him 28 years and cleared the estates of debt, bringing up her children as Anglicans. The eldest became Sir Thomas Lyttelton, 1st Baronet.
