William Rede (by 1529–at least 1569)

William Rede (born by 1529 - at least 1569) was an English politician during the reign of Mary I of England.

Life

Rede was probably the son of the clothier Thomas Rede. He was probably the William who was from Yate, Gloucestershire and married a daughter of the clothier, Walter Bailey. He had a son, Edward Rede. In 1554, he was described as 'of Bristol', suggesting a possible connection to another William Rede, also a politician who died in 1558.[1]

Career

Rede was a Member of Parliament for Devizes in October 1553. He was admitted to the Middle Temple.[1]
