Richard Fulmerston (by 1516 – 1567), of Ipswich, Suffolk and Thetford, Norfolk, was an English politician.

Family

It is unclear who Fulmerston's parents are, but his father may also have been named Richard Fulmerston. It is thought the family probably originated from Fulmodeston, Norfolk. Fulmerston married Alice, the daughter of 'Lonzam' of Suffolk and the widow of Ipswich MP, Thomas Hayward, who had died in 1534. Fulmerston had married Alice by March 1539. They had at least one daughter.

Career

He was a Member (MP) of the Parliament of England for Southwark in 1547, for Great Bedwyn in October 1553, April 1554 and November 1554, for Horsham in 1558, for New Shoreham in 1559 and for Thetford in 1563. He was a servant of Thomas, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, a family the Fulmerstons of Norfolk has long-standing connecting with. He supported Queen Mary against Lady Jane Grey's supporters in 1553.[1]
