Biography

Sir William Parker was the father of Henry Parker and husband of Alice Lovel 9th Baroness Morley (c. 1467-1518), daughter of Alianore Lovel 7th Baroness Morley (1442-1476). He is closely associated to the royal family throw his brother-in-law, Henry Lovel, whose wife, Elizabeth de la Pole, was a niece of Edward IV and Richard III.

Most of his property and assets came from his wife Alice who inherited it from her brother Henry. When Alianore and her husband William Lovel died on July 23, 1476, their 10-year-old son Henry Lovel was placed under guardianship. Some of the family estates were entrusted to the guardians, others were given to aristocrats, and others remained in the hands of King Richard III. Furthermore, some estates were also diverted to Sir Francis Lovel, William Lovel's nephew, despite the provisions drawn up by his great-grandfather on March 18, 1455.

Henri was 23 when he died at the battle of Dixmude, in Flanders, on June 13, 1489. On his death, his sister Alice Lovel and her husband William Parker inherited his noble titles and most of his properties. These included the manor and lordship of Great Hallingbury (Essex), the manor of Walkern (Hertfordshire), the manors of Hingham and Buxston, and the manor of Morley Hall in the Forehoe hundreds of Norfolk.

Sir William was a fervent supporter of Richard III. He rose to prominence during the English invasion of Scotland (1482) and was knighted on July 24, 1482 by Richard III. He was also rewarded for his help in suppressing Buckingham's rebellion in October 1483.

He became Richard III's standard-bearer, fighting with him on August 22, 1485 at the Battle of Bosworth against Henry Tudor. Henry Tudor was victorious and subsequently became King of England as Henry VII. Sir William's devotion to Richard III naturally earned him Henry VII's disfavor and, according to family legend, he "lived the king's prisoner " after the War of the Roses.

In 1493, Sir William Parker suffered a first attack of dementia. He seems to have recovered, at first, but in 1502 he suffered from insanity. His epitaph states that he died a violent, unspecified death.He was buried in the parish of St Gilles, in the village of Great Hallingbury, in the company of his wife Alice, his son Henry, his daughter-in-law Alice St John, his mother Agnes and his sister-in-law Elisabeth de la Pole, niece of Edward IV and Richard III.

After his death, his widow, Alice Lovel, quickly remarried Edward Howard, a British naval officer and the youngest son of the Earl of Surrey. To be sure that Henry Parker, Alice's son, would not be totally dispossessed of his inheritance, Margaret Beaufort paid Edward Howard 500 marks. Sir Edward Howard drowned on April 25, 1513 in a sea battle off Le Conquet. Alice Lovel died five years later.
