BROMLEY, SIR THOMAS (1530-1587) ,
English
  lord
chancellor
 , was born in Staffordshire in 1530. He was educated at
Oxford
  University and called to the bar at the Middle Temple. Through family influence as well as the patronage of Sir Nicholas
Bacon
 , the lord keeper, he quickly made progress in his profession. In 1566 he was appointed recorder of London, and in 1569 he became solicitor-general. He sat in
parliament
  successively for Bridgnorth, Wigan and Guildford. On the death of Sir Nicholas
Bacon
  in 1579 he was appointed lord
chancellor
 . As an'
equity
  judge he showed
great
  and profound knowledge, and his judgment in
Shelley
 's case (q.v.) is a landmark in the history of
English
  real property law. He presided over the commission which tried Mary, queen of Scots, in 1586, but the strain of the trial, coupled with the responsibility which her execution involved upon him, proved too much for his strength, and he died on. the 12th " of April 1587. He wasbutied'in Westminster Abbey.
See Foss, Lives of the Judges; Campbell, Lives of the Lord Chancellors.
