Notities over Nicholas BACON

Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Baronet (ca. 1540 - 22 November 1624), of Redgrave, Suffolk, English Member of Parliament. In 1611 he was the first man to be created a baronet, making his successors Premier Baronets of England.

Bacon was the eldest son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal, by his first wife, Jane Ferneley, and was the half brother of Sir Francis Bacon. Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, he was admitted to Gray's Inn in 1562, and became an "ancient" of the society in 1576. He entered Parliament in 1563 as member for Beverley, and subsequently also represented Suffolk from 1572 to 1583. He was knighted in 1578, and was appointed High Sheriff of Suffolk for 1597.

On 22 May 1611, Bacon was created a baronet, of Redgrave in Suffolk, making him England's premier baronet. He married Anne, daughter of Edmund Butts of Thornage, Norfolk, and Anne Bures. He died in 1624, survived by at least one daughter and seven sons, the eldest of whom succeeded him. His daughter Anne married Sir Robert Drury, patron of the poet John Donne. It is believed that he is an ancestor of the figurative painter, Francis Bacon.

Bacon, Sir Nicholas (c.1543-1624), 1st bt. Eldest surviving son of Sir Nicholas Bacon (1510-79), kt., and his first wife, Jane, daughter of William Fernley of West Creeting (Suffk), born about 1543. Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (admitted 1561) and Grays Inn (admitted 1562; ancient, 1576). Barrister at law. High Sheriff of Suffolk, 1581-82, 1603-04, and of Norfolk, 1597-98; Bailiff of Bury St. Edmunds, 1571; JP for Suffolk, the Isle of Ely (from 1574) and Norfolk (from 1579); Constable of Wisbech Castle from 1597. MP for Beverley, 1563-67 and for Suffolk, 1572-83. Whilst there is no evidence of his making a mark in Parliament, he was assiduous in his work for the Crown in local administration, serving frequently on commissions and making inquiries for the Privy Council; during the Armada crisis, he led 500 Suffolk men to Tilbury. He was, however, vigilant for, and willing to resist, any infringement of the rights and privileges of the local gentry, as when, in 1596, he was accused of encouraging opposition to the levying of ship money on inland towns. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth at Norwich, 22 May 1578, and created a baronet (the first to be so honoured), 22 May 1611, as a result of which his successors in the title down to the present day have been Premier Baronets of England. In religion, he was a strong Puritan, and he ensured that devout and godly ministers were appointed in the parishes where he had presentation.
