HALES, or HAYLES, JOHN (d. 1571)

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 834 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HALES, or HAYLES, JOHN (d. 1571) , English writer and politician, was a son of
Thomas
  Hales of Hales Place, Halden, Kent. He wrote his Highway to
Nobility
  about 1543, and was the founder of a free school at Coventry for which he wrote Introductiones ad grammaticam. In political life Hales, who was member of
parliament
  for Preston, was specially concerned with opposing the enclosure of land, being the most active of the commissioners appointed in 1548 to redress this evil; but he failed to carry several remedial
measures
  through
parliament
 . IN hen the protector, the duke of Somerset, was deprived of his authority in 1550, Hales left England and lived for some time at Strassburg and Frankfort, returning to his own country on the accession of Elizabeth. However he soon lost the royal favour by writing a pamphlet, A Declaration of the Succession of the Crowne Imperiall of Inglande, which declared that the
recent
 
marriage
  between Lady Catherine Grey and Edward Seymour,
earl
  of Hertford, was legitimate, and asserted that, failing direct heirs to Elizabeth, the English crown should come to Lady Catherine as the descendant of Mary, daughter of
Henry
  VII. The author was imprisoned, but was quickly released, and died on the 28th of December 1571. The Discourse of the Common Weal, described as " one of the most informing documents of the age," and written about 1549, has been attributedto Hales. This has been edited by E. Lan_ond (
Cambridge
 , 1893).
Hales is often confused with another John Hales, who was clerk of the hanaper under
Henry
  VIII. and his three immediate successors.
