William See also:Carey and niece of See also:Anne See also:Boleyn, was his wife. After serving as See also:governor of See also:Plymouth, Knollys was sent in 1566 to See also:Ireland, his See also:mission being to obtain for the queen confidential reports about the conduct of the lord-See also:deputy Sir Henry See also:Sidney. Approving of Sidney's actions he came back to England, and in 1568 was sent to See also:Carlisle to take See also:charge of Mary Queen of Scots, who had just fled from Scotland; afterwards he was in charge of the queen at See also:Bolton See also:Castle and then at See also:Tutbury Castle. He discussed religious questions with his prisoner, although the extreme See also:Protestant views which he put before her did not meet with Elizabeth's approval, and he gave up the position of See also:guardian just after his wife's See also:death in See also:January 1569. In 1584 he introduced into the See also:House of See also:Commons, where since 1572 he had represented See also:Oxfordshire, the See also:bill legalizing the See also:national association for Elizabeth's See also:defence, and he was treasurer of the royal household from 1572 until his death on the 19th of See also:July 1596.

church of Rotherfield Grays, Oxfordshire. Knollys was repeatedly See also:free and See also:frank in his objections to Elizabeth's tortuous See also:foreign policy; but, possibly owing to his relationship to the queen, he did not lose her favour, and he was one of her commissioners on such important occasions as the trials of Mary Queen of Scots, of See also:- PHILIP

Haynes (1740) ; and a few of his See also:manuscripts are still in existence. A speech which Knollys delivered in parliament against some claims made by the bishops was printed in 16o8 and again in W. See also:Stoughton's Assertion for True and See also:Christian Church Policie (London, 1642).
Sir Francis Knollys's second son William (c. 1547-1632) served as a member of parliament and a soldier during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, being knighted in 1586. His eldest See also:brother Henry, having died without sons in 1583, William inherited his See also:father's estates in Oxfordshire, becoming in 1596 a privy councillor and See also:comptroller of the royal household; in 1602 he was made treasurer of the household.

James I., whom he had visited in Scotland in 1585, and was made See also:Baron Knollys in 1603 and See also:Viscount See also:Wallingford in 1616. But in this latter See also:year his fortunes suffered a temporary See also:reverse. Through his second wife Elizabeth (1586-1658), daughter of Thomas Howard, earl of See also:Suffolk, Knollys was related to Frances, countess of See also:Somerset, and when this See also:lady was tried for the See also:murder of Sir Thomas See also:Overbury her relatives were regarded with suspicion; consequently Lord Wallingford resigned the treasurership of the household and two years later the mastership of the See also:court of wards, an See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office which he had held since 1614. However, he regained the royal favour, and was created earl of See also:Banbury in-1626.
He died in London on the 25th of May 1632.
His wife, who was nearly See also:forty years her See also:husband's junior, was the mother of two sons, Edward (1627-1645) and See also:Nicholas (1631-1674), whose paternity has given rise to much dispute. Neither is mentioned in the earl's will, but in 1641 the See also:law courts decided that Edward was earl of Banbury, and when he was killed in See also:June 1645 his brother Nicholas took the See also:title. In the See also:Convention Parliament of r66o some objection was taken to the earl sitting in the House of Lords, and in 1661 he was not summoned to parliament; he had not succeeded in obtaining his See also:writ of See also:summons when he died on the 14th of See also:March 1674.
Nicholas's son See also:Charles (1662-1740), the 4th earl, had not been summoned to parliament when in 1692 he killed See also:Captain Philip See also:Lawson in ,a See also:duel. This raised the question of his See also:rank in a new See also:form. Was he, or was he not, entitled to trial by the peers? The House of Lords declared that he was not a peer and therefore not so entitled, but the court of king's See also:bench released him from his imprisonment on the ground that he was the earl of Banbury and not Charles Knollys a commoner. Nevertheless the House of Lords refused to move from its position, and Knollys had not received a writ of summons when he died in See also:April 1740. His son Charles (1703-1771), See also:vicar of See also:Burford, Oxfordshire, and his grandsons, William (1726-1776) and Thomas See also:Woods (1727-1793), were successively titular earls of Banbury, but they took no steps to prove their title. However, in i8o6 Thomas Woods's son William (1763-1824), who attained the rank of See also:general in the See also:British army, asked for a writ of summons as earl of Banbury, but in 1813 the House of Lords decided against the claim. Several peers, including the See also:great Lord See also:Erskine, protested against this decision, but General Knollys himself accepted it and ceased to See also:call himself earl of Banbury. He died in See also:Paris on the loth of March 1834. His eldest son, Sir William Thomas Knollys (1797-1883), entered the army and served with the See also:Guards during the See also:Peninsular See also:War. Remaining in the army after the conclusion of the See also:peace of 1815 he won a See also:good reputation and See also:rose high in his profession. From 1855 to 186o he was in charge of the military See also:camp at See also:Aldershot, then in its See also:infancy, and in 1861 he was made See also:president of the See also:council of military See also:education. From 1862 to 1877 he was comptroller of the household of the See also:prince of See also:Wales, afterwards King Edward VII. From 1877 until his death on the 23rd of June 1883 he was See also:gentleman See also:- USHER (O. Fr. ussier, uissier, mod. huissier, from Lat. ostiarius, a door-keeper, ostium, doorway, entrance, os, mouth)
- USHER (or USSHER), JAMES (1581-1656)
usher of the See also:black See also:rod; he was also a privy councillor and See also:colonel of the Scots Guards. His son Francis (b. 1837), private secretary to Edward VII. and See also:George V., was created Baron Knollys in 1902; another son, Sir Henry Knollys (b. 1840), became private secretary to King Edward's daughter Maud, queen of See also:Norway.
