He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. His family were Norfolk gentry long based at their manor of Hunstanton.
Life and career
Le Strange was the son of Sir Nicholas le Strange of Hunstanton and his wife Mary Bell, and a great-grandson of the MP Sir Nicholas L'Estrange.[1] He was admitted to Queens' College, Cambridge on 26 July 1601 and knighted on 13 March 1604. From 1608 to 1609 he was the High Sheriff of Norfolk.[2]
In 1614 and again in 1625 Le Strange was elected MP for Norfolk. In 1625 and 1626 he was also elected MP for Castle Rising.[3]
In 1616 a priest, Thomas Tunstal, escaped from Wisbech Castle to Norfolk. L'Estrange had him pursued and apprehended. He was tried at Norwich and condemned and executed.[4]
During the English Civil War, Le Strange served as the Royalist Governor of King's Lynn in 1643.[2] The honour was short-lived, as the town was besieged by Parliamentarians. When it surrendered, Hamon's family had to pay over £1000 in compensation. Other bills accrued and enemies arranged for its lands to be forfeited in 1649–1651.[5]
Family
Le Strange married Alice Stubbe in 1602,[6] daughter of the family's lawyer, Richard Stubbe, of Sedgeford, Norfolk.[7] They are known to have had four children.
