Henry VIII.'s reign, and was one of the leaders of the victorious See also:English See also:army at the See also:battle of Pinkie in 1547. He was then employed on the Scottish See also:marches and in See also:Scotland, and in 1549 he rendered See also:good service in sup-pressing the See also:rebellion in See also:Oxfordshire and in the See also:west of See also:England; in 1551 he was imprisoned as a friend of the fallen See also:protector, the See also:duke of See also:Somerset, and he was concerned in the See also:attempt made by See also:John See also:Dudley, duke of See also:Northumberland, to See also:place See also:Lady Jane See also:Grey on the English See also:throne in 1553. However, he was pardoned by See also:Queen See also:Mary and was entrusted with the See also:defence of See also:Guines.

time he remained a prisoner in France. Under See also:Elizabeth, Grey was again employed on the Scottish border, and he was responsible for the pertinacious but unavailing attempt to See also:capture See also:Leith in May 156o. He died at See also:Cheshunt in See also:Hertfordshire on the 14th/25th of See also:December 1562.
He was described by William See also:Cecil as " a See also:noble, valiant, painful and careful See also:gentleman," and his son and successor, See also:Arthur, wrote A Commentary of the Services and Charges of William, Lord Grey of See also:Wilton, K.G. This has been edited by See also:Sir P. de M. Grey See also:Egerton for the See also:Camden Society (1847).
Grey's See also:elder son ARTHUR, 14TH LORD GREY DE WILTON (1536-1593), was during See also:early See also:life with his See also:father in France and in Scotland; he fought at the battle of St Quentin and helped to defend Guines and to See also:assault Leith. In See also:July I 58o he was appointed lord See also:deputy of See also:Ireland, and after an initial defeat in See also:Wicklow was successful in reducing many of the rebels to a temporary submission. Perhaps the most noteworthy event during his See also:tenure of this 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 was the See also:massacre of 600 Italians and Spaniards at Smerwick in See also:November 158o, an See also:action for which he was responsible. Having incurred a heavy See also:burden of See also:debt Grey frequently implored-the queen to recall him, and in See also:August 1582 he was allowed to return to England (see E. See also:Spenser, View of the See also:Slate of Ireland, edited by H. See also:Morley, 18go, and R. Bagwell, Ireland under the Tudors, vol. iii., 189o). While in Ireland Grey was served as secretary by See also:Edmund Spenser, and in See also:book v. of the Faerie Queene the poet represents his See also:patron as a See also:knight of very noble qualities named Artegall. As one of the commissioners who tried Mary queen of Scots, Grey defended the action of Elizabeth's secretary, William See also:Davison, with regard to this See also:matter, and he took See also:part in the preparations for the defence of England against the Spaniards in 1588. His
See also:account of the defence of Guines was used by See also:Holinshed in his
See also:Chronicles.
