 Thomas RADCLIFFE (3° E. Sussex)
For Fitzwalter himself the new reign first brought the setbacks of Gardiner's imprisonment and the dismissal of his father-in-law Wriothesley, but luck was on his side at Pinkie, where he narrowly escaped death, and he was to share in Wriothesley's temporary return to favour when Dudley rose to power.
A stranger to the county, Dudley had been by-elected for Norfolk to the previous Parliament, and the decision that Fitzwalter should take the other seat, instead of appearing in the Lords, could have been an answer to the intrusion: the two men were to become bitter rivals in the reign of Elizabeth.
Fitzwalter attended Edward VI's funeral as a carver.

 Baron Robert FitzWalter
At the time the Barons, at home and abroad, were preparing to compel King John to keep his promises in the matter of the proposed statutes, several conspiracies to this end were discovered, wherein Robert FitzWalter was materially concerned.
The active spirit of FitzWalter made him a desirable leader for their party, and he was selected as one of the commissioners who hoped to cement the differences of opinion at a meeting at Erith Church, and subsequently was elected their leader.
The monk, Matthew Paris, records: "In the same year (1234/5) at the advent of Our Lord, Robert FitzWalter, a Baron of illustrious race, and renowned in feats of arms, went the way of all flesh." His first wife was Gunora, daughter of Robert, second lord of Valoines, and he married second, Rohese, who survived him.

FitzWalter's agent advised him to pull down the remains and build a "sensible" modern house; but he ignored the advice, and over the next 18 months the property, which had been built by an ancestor, was carefully reconstructed.
FitzWalter Brook Plumptre's resolution in restoring the house was all the more remarkable for the fact that he had been born far from Kent, on January 15 1914, in the South African town of Barbiton, where his father was serving as district commissioner.
However, the FitzWalters' most notable achievement was the restoration and development of the gardens at Goodnestone Park, which are now among the most admired in the country.

 Thomas Radclyffe, 3rd Earl of Sussex Information
After serving in the army abroad, he was employed in 1551 to negotiate a marriage between King Edward VI of England and a daughter of Henry II of France.
The measures enjoined upon Fitzwalter by the government in London comprised the reversal of the partial attempts that had been made during the short reign of Edward VI to promote Protestantism in Ireland, and the "plantation" by English settlers of that part of the country then known as Offaly and Leix.
Statutes were passed declaring the legitimacy of Mary I of England, reviving the laws for the suppression of heresy, forbidding the immigration of Scots, and vesting in the Crown the territory comprised in what were later known as the King's County and Queen's County, which were then so named after Philip and Mary respectively.

 BBC - History - King John and the Magna Carta
FitzWalter was a somewhat unsavoury character with a series of grudges against John and a history of disaffection.
He had been prominent in the plots against John in 1212, and saw this as another means for him to strike at the king.
Ironically, their demands were based upon the so-called 'Unknown Charter' developed from the laws of Henry I. In their efforts to break away from the harsh Angevin régime created by Henry II, they were harking back to the same 'Golden Age' that he had used to justify his actions.
