John Audley II (also spelled Awdeley or Awdley) was an English politician. He was a member of parliament, which means he helped make laws for England. John Audley lived in London but was originally from Lincolnshire. He passed away around the year 1594.
About John Audley's Life
John Audley II was likely the son of Thomas Audley and Elizabeth Warren. His family came from Haugh, Lincolnshire. He was also related to the well-known Audley family of Walden.
When John's father died around 1561, he left John some money. With this money, John moved to London. He bought a house in an area called Chancery Lane. He also rented another property in Borehamwood.
John Audley married a woman named Susan. She was the sister of John Stockwood. Susan had been married before to Thomas Field of London. John Audley died around 1594. His son, also named John, was in charge of his father's will. John Audley left his wife, Susan, money in his will.
His Time in Politics
John Audley II was a member of parliament, often called an MP. This means he was chosen to represent people in the Parliament of England. In 1593, he represented two different areas. These were the Lancaster and Stockbridge constituencies.
He served in the Parliament during the time of Elizabeth I. He worked alongside other MPs like John Preston and Henry St John. It was quite unusual for one person to be elected to represent two different areas at the same time. Some historians think this might have been a mistake.
