Will

History of Parliament

"By the will which he made on 18 May 1563 Bourne provided for his wife, son, the poor of St. James in Bredwardine, Worcester, and servants, and left a ring of gold to Francis Allen. He appointed as executors his wife, Thomas Martin and Sir Edward Bray†. Bourne died during May 1575 and was succeeded by his son Anthony. Most of the property which Bourne had acquired was sold by Anthony, whose chequered career included exile, imprisonment in the Tower and a case disputing his custody of his daughter. Thus the Bourne family’s remarkable rise was matched by as swift a decline.11"
