Gabriel Hippesley Explained
Gabriel Hippesley was an English courtier and politician.
An equerry to King Charles I, he was severely fined by Parliament for his adherence to the royal cause.[1]
He was elected, together with Sir John Borlase, 1st Baronet, as a Member of the Parliament of England for Great Marlow[2] in the Long Parliament of November 1640. The election was declared void and in a second election Parliamentarians Peregrine Hoby and Bulstrode Whitelocke were declared elected instead.[3]
Hippesley married Amy Popham, the widow of William Borlase, MP, and had one son.
