This article is about the baron. For the jazz bassist, see William Parker.
William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle and 11th Baron Morley (1575 - July 1, 1622), was the eldest son of Edward Parker, 10th Baron Morley (d. 1618), and of Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of William Stanley, 3rd Baron Monteagle (d. 1581).

When quite a youth he married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Tresham, and was styled Lord Monteagle in right of his mother. He was allied with many Roman Catholic families, and during the reign of Elizabeth was in sympathy with their cause. He received knighthood when with Essex in Ireland in 1599, and in 1601 took part in the latter's rebellion in London, when he was punished by imprisonment and a fine of £8000.

He subsequently in 1602 joined in sending the mission to Spain inviting Philip III to invade England. He was intimate with Catesby and others, and according to Father Garnet expressed an opinion some few months before Gunpowder Plot that the Romanists had a good opportunity of making good their claims by taking up arms against the king. It is certain that he was one of those who acquiesced in James I's accession and assisted Southampton in securing the Tower for the king.

He was taken into favour, and received a summons to attend the parlia ment of the 5th of November 1605 as Lord Monteagle. On October 26, 1605, while sitting at supper at Hoxton, he received the celebrated letter giving warning of the gunpowder plot, probably written by Francis Tresham. After having caused it to be read aloud by Ward, a gentleman in his service and an intimate friend of Winter, one of the chief conspirators, he took it to Whitehall and showed it to Lord Salisbury and other ministers.

On November 4 he accompanied Lord Suffolk, the lord chamberlain, in his visit to the vault under the parliament house, where Guy Fawkes was found. Monteagle received £700 a year for his services in averting the disaster. In 1609 he was chosen a member of the council of the Virginia Company and subscribed to its funds. The same year disorders in his house are reported, probably referring to his harbouring of Roman Catholic students from St Omer (Cal. of St Pap. Dom. 1603-1610, p. 533).

In 1618, on the death of his father, he was summoned to parliament as Baron Morley and Monteagle. He died on the 1st of July 1622 at Great Hallingbury, Essex, where he was buried.

By his marriage with Elizabeth Tresham he had, besides daughters, three sons, the eldest of whom, Henry, (d. 1655) succeeded him as 12th Baron Morley and 5th Baron Monteagle. These baronies fell into abeyance when Henry's son Thomas died about 1686.

Elizabeth Tresham and William Parker, 14th Baron Monteagle: Like his brother-in-law Francis, Parker was an Essex Rebel, one of only two barons involved. Monteagle remained in the loop of his wife's cousins' intrigues until the ascension of James I to the throne when he denounced the Catholic religion. He brought a mysterious letter he received to Robert Cecil which led to the discovery and exposure of the Gunpowder Plot. Hailed as a national hero, he managed to protect his sister's husband, the antiquarian Thomas Habington, from prosecution after this brother-in-law's arrest for harboring the Jesuits Garnet and Oldcorne in the wake of the plot. His sister is considered to be another candidate for the letter writer, though that might have been dangerous for her husband whose house was fortified with 11 Nicholas Owen built priest hides and so became the refuge for Garnet and Owen after the plot's discovery, joining Oldcorne who had resided there for 15 years.
