  Anthony BROWNE (1° V. Montagu)
The younger Browne accompanied his kinsman John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, to France in the summer of 1546, being given £40 towards his expenses by Henry VIII, and was knighted at the coronation of Edward VI.
Browne was re-elected for Petersfield, with Rithe, to the first Parliament of the new reign, after he had apparently rallied to Queen Mary.
Nothing is known of Browne's role in the Commons but he was an active member of the Lords: during Mary's reign he was regular in attendance and was frequently appointed to committees, including one in 1555 for the bill to punish exiles.

 Anthony BROWNE (Sir Knight)
Browne took part in the questioning of the culprits, taking evidence in his own handwriting from one of the Queen's attendants and examining the Duchess of Norfolk about the relations between the Queen and Francis Dereham; he was one of the special commission which tried Dereham and Culpeper at Guildhall.
Browne was one of the seven Councillors who signed the letters patent of 12 Mar 1547 confirming Hertford's appointment.
Browne died at Byfleet on 28 Apr 1548 and was probably replaced as knight of the shire by Sir Thomas Cawarden.

But the boys find delicious, empowering escape when they imagine their father in the world of the paintings, where he roller-skates in tiny shorts or is chased by a lion.
Browne blurs the real and imagined in wonderful spreads that juxtapose scenes at the museum (including striking reproductions of famous works) with the boys' fantasies.
But Browne's unforgettable paintings and basic words tell a powerful, layered story that will encourage children to find their own connections--and subversive fun--at the museum.

 Retreat of Reason
For centuries Britain has been a beacon of liberty of thought, belief and speech, but now the freedom of its intellectual and political life is being subjected to a subtle form of 'censorship', according to a new study of political correctness published by the independent think-tank Civitas.
Anthony Browne argues in The Retreat of Reason that political correctness, which classifies certain groups of people as victims in need of protection from criticism and allows no dissent to be expressed, is poisoning the wells of debate in modern Britain.
Anthony Browne describes political correctness as a 'heresy of liberalism' (p.2) under which 'a reliance on reason has been replaced with a reliance on the emotional appeal of an argument' (p.6).

With the cooking and housework untended, they soon turn genuinely porcine, a transformation Browne foreshadows with pig faces on the wallpaper, vases, fireplace, phone.
