Notes

Nickname (Sutton)
Roger Dudley (between 1535/45 - 1590) was a British soldier.

Roger Dudley was born in London, England, but is said to have been baptised in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire. He was the son of Captain Sir Henry Sutton Dudley, who married an unnamed daughter of one Christopher Ashton between 1545 and 1550. Ashton's daughter died sometime afterOctober 29, 1588, but before 1590. Henry Dudley was himself the son ofJohn Sutton, 3rd Baron Dudley, "Lord Quondam", who was married to CecilyGrey. Roger may be the Roger Dudley who was matriculated as pensioner at Christ College, Cambridge, in 1566, but left without a degree.

It is believed that he married, on June 8, 1575, at Lidlington, Bedfordshire, Susannah (n©be Thorne), herself recorded as having been born on March 5, 1559/60 in Northamptonshire, and baptised at Yardley Hastings, the daughter of Thomas Thorne and Mary Purefoy. Dudley is said to have been "in financial difficulty" when he was married under the inconspicuous title of Mr. Roger Dudley. His wife's family claimed descent from CharlemagNE

He is reported to have been a Captain in (the Earl of Leicester)'s militia, fighting with a commission from Elizabeth I, and under the banner of Henry of Navarre. He is thought to have died at the Battle of Ivry, France in 1590. Yet in 1586, four years earlier, the Reverend Cotton Mather of Boston wrote: "Thomas Dudley's father was Captain Roger Dudley, -- slain in the wars, when -- his son, and one only daughter were very young". The will of Thomas Dorne (Thorne) of Yardley Hastings, Gent., dated 29 Oct 1588, bequeathed "to the children of Susan Dudley, my Daughter, widow, pD10 to be equally divided". (S1,S11). Therefore, he was apparently dead by the time of the will of his father-in-law, which was written in 1588, which eliminates the time of the Battle of Ivry as a possibility for his death. It is most probable that he died at the Siege of Zutphen in 1586; having followed a relative, Robert DUDLEY, Earl of Leicester, who was a principle figure in that battle.
