Anthony Denny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Anthony Denny (16 January 1501 – 10 September 1559) was a confidant of Henry VIII of England. Denny was the most prominent member of the Privy Chamber in Henry's last years, having charge of the dry stamp of Henry's signature, and attended Henry on his deathbed. He was a scholar, a patron of literature and a member of the reformist circle that offset the conservative religious influence of Gardiner. A wealthy man by his death, he seems to have been a good and religious person.
Sometime before 1548, Anthony married Joan Champernowne, sister to Katherine Ashley, the governess of the future queen Elizabeth.
