	Henry James Pye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pye was Poet Laureate from 1790 until his death.
		Pye was born in London and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford.

	Pepys' Diary: Pye, Sir Robert

	Grampound (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While several patrons (including the Earls of Mount Edgcumbe, Lord Eliot, Sir Christopher Hawkins and Basil Cochrane) attempted to exert their influence over the choice of members to serve Grampound, the electors were more interested in the monetary value of their vote.
		Oldfield wrote "The freemen of this borough have been known to boast of receiving three hundred guineas a man for their votes at one election." So notorious and unmanageable did the borough become that Grampound became a byword for electoral corruption, and Edward Porritt noted its use was continuing in 1903.
		1754: Sir John St Aubyn, Bt and Francis Beauchamp were proposed as candidates apparently without their knowledge by local malcontent voters who wanted to raise the level of their bribery.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sir Henry Bedingfield
		Sir Henry was mainly instrumental, together with Sir Henry Jerningham, in placing Mary Tudor on the throne.
		As "jailer" of the Princess Elizabeth, who was suspected of complicity in Wyatt's rebellion, he has been persistently misrepresented by Foxe and others, but the whole history of his custodianship of Elizabeth is contained in a series of letters addressed to the Queen and the Privy Council, and in their replies.
		On Elizabeth's accession he retired to Oxburgh and was called upon in a letter, in which the Queen addressed him as "trusty and well-behaved", to furnish a horse and man armed, as his contribution to the defence of the country against an expected invasion of the French.
