William Hussey, son of John Hussey and Elizabeth Neffield Hussey, was born about 1427, probably at Sleaford, Lincolnshire.  He became the most prominent figure in legal circles in late fifteenth century England.

He was married about 1460 to Elizabeth Berkeley, daughter of Thomas Berkeley of Wymondham, Leicestershire.  "Visitation of Yorkshire" records her father as "Sir Morris Berkeley, knight."

William Hussey was appointed by King Edward IV July 16, 1463 to inventory the estate of William Viscount Beaumont, according to "Cambridge Society Publications," Volume I, Series III.  He and John Murdock received property from the king at Staunford, Lincolnshire in 1464, according to "Hussey Record."  He became commissioner of sewers for Kesteven, Lincolnshire in 1467 and was summoned to Parliament in the same year to represent Grantham, Lincolnshire.

William Hussey was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas April 21, 1470.  Part of his compensation was "a fee of 40 marks and a cask of wine from the Port of London yearly."  He was a resident of Lincolnshire in 1475, according to "Hastings Manuscripts."  As Attorney-General he conducted the impeachment of the Duke of Clarence for treason.

He was Serjeant-at-Law to King Henry VII on October 17, 1477.  He was Chief Justice of the King's Bench on May 7, 1481 at a salary of 140 marks a year.  This appointment was repeated by each of the next three kings of England.  He received a portion of Tateshall manor, Lincolnshire August 8, 1481, according to "Manuscripts of Lord D'Lisle."  Under Henry VII he was a commissioner who decided the claims to fill various offices at the coronation.  He was a member of Parliament in 1485, 1486 and 1487.  In 1489 he was Commissioner of Array in Lincolnshire.  In 1492 he was appointed to negotiate with the French ambassadors.

He died September 8, 1495 and was buried at Sempringham, Lincolnshire.  His will, dated December 15, 1494, was probated July 4, 1496.  A probable relative of William Hussey was "Sir Mark [or Marques] Hussey, master of All Saints Church in Lombard Street, London," according to "Camden Society Publications."  Mark Hussey, who previously held the office of chantry priest in Charing church, died in London in 1499.

Elizabeth Berkeley Hussey wrote her will in August 1503 in which she also requested to be buried at Sempringham.  Her will was probated December 21, 1504.

[Curt Hofemann]

HUSSEY or HUSE, Sir WILLIAM (d. 1495), chief Justice, was probably a son of the Sir Henry Huse who received a grant of free warren in the manor of Herting in Sussex in the eighth year of Henry VI.  Campbell, however, describes him as belonging to a Lincolnshire family of small means.  He was a member of Gray's Inn, and on 16 June 1471 was appointed attorney-general, with full power of deputing clerks and officers under him in courts of record.  As attorney-general he conducted the impeachment of the Duke of Clarence for treason.  In Trinity term of 1478 he attained the degree of serjeant-at-law, and on 7 May 1481 was appointed chief justice of the king's bench, in succession of Sir Thomas Billing, at a salary of 140 marks a year. This appointment was renewed at the accession of each of the next three kings, and under Henry VII he was also a commissioner to decide the claims made to fill various offices at the coronation (_Rutland Papers_, p. 8).
In the first year of this reign he successfully protested against the king's practice of consulting the judges beforehand upon crown cases which they were subsequently to try (_Year-book_, 1 Hen. VII, p. 26). In June 1492 he was a commissioner to treat with the ambassadors of the king of France.  He seems to have died late in 1495, as on 24 Nov. of that year Sir John Fineux succeeded him as chief justice.  He married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Berkeley of Wymondham, and had two sons, John, lord Hussey of Sleaford, and Robert, from whom descend the Hussey family of Honnington, Leicestershire.
