John Hales (d. 1 January 1608) was the owner of the Whitefriars in Coventry at which two of the Marprelate tracts were printed on a secret press. He was the nephew and heir of John Hales, and the nephew of Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote.
Family
John Hales was the son of Christopher Hales of Coventry and Mary Lucy, the daughter of William Lucy, esquire, and Anne Fermor, and sister of Sir Thomas Lucy of Charlecote, Warwickshire.[1][2][3][4]
Career
Little is known of Hales' early life. In 1589, at the request of his great-uncle,[5] Sir Richard Knightley of Fawsley, he allowed the secret press on which the Marprelate tracts were being printed to be brought to his house at the Whitefriars in Coventry by Knightley's servant, Stephen Gyfford.[6] At the time, Sir Richard Knightley was married to his second wife, Elizabeth Seymour, daughter of Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, and cousin of King Edward VI.[7] Two of the Marprelate tracts, the Minerals and Hay Any Worke for Cooper, as well as John Penry's A View, were printed at the Whitefriars by Robert Waldegrave.[8] The secret press was subsequently moved to the home of Sir Roger Wigston at Wolston Priory.
Henry Sharpe, who had bound the printed copies of the Marprelate tracts, gave evidence implicating Hales, Knightley and the Wigstons, and a special commission appointed on 16 November 1589 by the Privy Council ordered their interrogation, having concluded that:
Sir Richard Knightley, Roger Wigston and John Hales have been acquainted with the printing and publishing of the said books, and have been favourers and abettors of the said Martin Marprelate in his disordered proceedings.[9].
In November 1589 Hales, Sir Richard Knightley, and Sir Roger Wigston and his wife were arrested.[9] Hales, Knightley and Wigston were imprisoned in the Fleet.[10] However their interrogation failed to elicit the identity of Martin Marprelate, which appears to have been unknown to those who harboured the secret press.
On 13 February 1589 Hales, Knightley and the Wigstons were arraigned in the the Star Chamber.[11] At his subsequent trial Hales protested, in excuse of his actions, that:
He had great reason, as he thought, to gratify Sir Richard Knightley in anything, to whom he owed much reverence, as he that had married his aunt'.[12].
Hales left a will dated 30 August 1607. He had a son, John, and three daughters, Mary, Jane and Bethany.[13].
Marriages and issue
Hales married firstly, by settlement dated 18 September 1586, Frideswide Faunt, the daughter of William Faunt, esquire, of Foston, Leicestershire, and his second wife, Jane Vincent (d.1585).[14] She was the widow of Roger Cotton, esquire.[15]
He married secondly a wife named Avis, who survived him.[16]
