Sir Edmund Pye, 1st Baronet
Sir Edmund Pye, 1st Baronet (c. 1607 - 1673) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1661 to 1673.
Pye was the son of Edmund Pye, of Leckamsteed, Buckinghamshire and of St Martin's Ludgate, London, scrivener, and his wife Martha Allen, sister of Alderman Allen of London. He was created baronet of Leckamsteed on 23 April 1611 and was knighted at Whitehall four days later. After the Civil War, he was voted a delinquent by Parliament and fined £3,065. He acquired the manor and estate of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire, which became his main residence. In 1661, he was elected Member of Parliament for Wycombe in the Cavalier Parliament.[1]
Pye died at the age of about 65 and was buried on 28 April 1673 at Bradenham when the Baronetcy became extinct.[1]
Pye married by licence dated 7 May 1635 Catherine Lucas, daughter of Thomas Lucas, of Colchester and his wife Elizabeth Leighton, daughter of John Leighton.[1]
