Nicholas L'Estrange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Nicholas L'Estrange or Le Strange (1515-1580) was an English Member of Parliament (MP). The son of Sir Thomas Le Strange, he was knighted in 1547. He acted as steward of the manors of the Duchess of Richmond from 1547 to 1580, and also Chamberlain to the Duke of Norfolk. Almost certainly at Norfolk's nomination, he was elected MP for the County of Norfolk in the Parliament of 1547, for King's Lynn in 1555 and Castle Rising in 1571. (His brother, Richard, also sat as an MP for boroughs under the Duke of Norfolk's influence in 1559 and 1563.) He was not elected to Parliament again after Norfolk's fall in 1572.
