Peter Fretchville

Sir Peter Fretchville (c. 1571 – 9 April 1634) (Frescheville/Frechvile/Fretchvile, etc) of Staveley, Derbyshire, was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1601 and from 1621 to 1622.[4] His grandfather, also Peter Fretchville of Staveley, who fought at the battle of Pinkie, died in November 1559.[6] He entered the Middle Temple in 1591 but in 1596 petitioned his Inn to be allowed to keep his chamber since the business of managing his several estates in Derbyshire prevented him from occupying it for the statutory eight weeks.He was knighted at Sir Edward Stanhope’s house at Grimston on 19 April 1603 while King James I was on his journey from Scotland.[4] He married twice: Fretchville died at the age of about 62 and asked in his will to be buried in the church at Staveley.
