Oxford. A handsome and accomplished See also:man, being especially distinguished for his elegant dancing, he soon attracted the See also:notice of Queen Elizabeth, became one of her gentlemen pensioners in 1564, and See also:captain of her bodyguard in 1572. Be received numerous estates and many positions of See also:trust and profit from the queen, and suspicion was not slow to assert that he was Elizabeth's See also:lover, a See also:charge which was definitely made by Mary queen of Scots in 1584. Hatton, who was probably See also:innocent in this See also:matter, had been made See also:vice-See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger.

chamberlain of the royal See also:household and a member of the privy See also:council in 1578, and had been a member of See also:parliament since 1571, first representing the See also:- BOROUGH (A.S. nominative burh, dative byrig, which produces some of the place-names ending in bury, a sheltered or fortified place, the camp of refuge of a tribe, the stronghold of a chieftain; cf.

borough of Higham See also:Ferrers and afterwards the See also:county of See also:Northampton. In 1578 he was knighted, and was now regarded as the queen's spokesman in the See also:House of See also:Commons; being an active See also:agent in the prosecutions of See also:John See also:Stubbs and William See also:Parry. He was one of those who were appointed to arrange a See also:marriage between Elizabeth and See also:Francis, See also:duke of
See also:Alencon, in 1581; was a member of the See also:court which tried See also:Anthony See also:Babington in 1586; and was one of the commissioners who found Mary queen of Scots guilty. He besought Elizabeth not to marry the See also:French See also:prince; and according to one See also:account repeatedly assured Mary that he would fetch her to See also:London if the See also:English queen died. Whether or no this See also:story be true, Hatton's See also:loyalty was not questioned; and he was the foremost figure in that striking See also:scene in the House of Commons in See also:December 1584, when four See also:hundred kneeling members repeated after him a See also:prayer for Elizabeth's safety. Having been the See also:constant recipient of substantial marks of the queen's favour, he vigorously denounced Mary See also:Stuart in parliament, and advised William See also:Davison to forward the See also:warrant for her See also:execution to Fotheringay. In the same See also:year (1587) Hatton was made lord chancellor, and although he had no See also:great knowledge of the See also:law, he appears to have acted with See also:sound sense and See also:good See also:judgment in his new position. He is said to have been a See also:Roman See also:Catholic in all but name, yet he treated religious. questions in a moderate and tolerant way. He died in London on the loth of See also:November 1J91, and was buried in St See also:Paul's See also:cathedral. Although mention has been made of a See also:secret marriage, Hatton appears to have remained single, and his large and valuable estates descended to his See also:nephew, Sir William See also:Newport, who took the name of Hatton. Sir Christopher was a See also:knight of the Garter and chancellor of the university of Oxford. Elizabeth frequently showed her See also:affection for her favourite in an extravagant and ostentatious manner. She called him her mouton, and forced the See also:bishop of See also:Ely to give him the See also:freehold of Ely See also:Place, See also:Holborn, which became his See also:residence, his name being perpetuated in the neighbouring Hatton See also:Garden. Hatton is reported to have been a very mean man, but he patronized men of letters, and among his See also:friends was See also:Edmund See also:Spenser. He wrote the See also:fourth See also:act of a tragedy, See also:Tam-red and Gismund, and his See also:death occasioned several panegyrics in both See also:prose and See also:verse.
When Hatton's nephew, Sir William Hatton, died without sons in 1597, his estates passed to a kinsman, another Sir Christopher Hatton (d. 161q), whose son and successor, Christopher (c. 16o5-167o), was elected a member of the See also:Long Parliament in 1640, and (luring the See also:Civil See also:War was a See also:partisan of See also:Charles I. In 1643 he was created See also:Baron Hatton of See also:Kirby; and, acting as See also:comptroller of the royal household, he represented the See also:- KING

He died at Kirby on the 4th of See also:July 1670, and was buried in See also:Westminster See also:Abbey. By his wife Elizabeth (d. 1672), daughter of Sir Charles See also:Montagu of See also:Boughton, he had two sons and three daughters. His eldest son Christopher (1632-1706), succeeded his See also:father as Baron Hatton and also as governor of Guernsey in 1670. In 1683 he was created See also:Viscount Hatton of Grendon.
