Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WADE (or WAAD), SIR WILLIAM (1546-1623) ,
English
  states-man and diplomatist, was the eldest son of Armagil Wade (d. 1568), the traveller, who sailed with a party of adventurers for North America in 1536, and later became (1J47) one of the clerks of the privy council in London and a member of
parliament
 . William Wade obtained his entrance into official
life
  by serving William Cecil, Lord
Burghley
 , sending information to this statesman from Paris and from Italy. He also passed some time in Strassburg; then in 1581 he became secretary to Sir Francis
Walsingham
  and in 1583 a clerk of the privy council. He visited Vienna,
Copenhagen
  and Madrid on public business, and in 1585 he went to Paris, being waylaid and maltreated on his return near Amiens by influential personages who disliked the
object
  of his mission. In 1586 he went to Chartley and took possession of
Mary
  Stuart's papers, and in 1587 was again in France. During the
remainder
  of Elizabeth's reign Wade was much occupied in searching for
Jesuits
  and in discovering plots against the
life
  of the queen. James I., who knighted him in 1603. employed him in similar ways, and he was fully occupied in unravelling the plots which marked the early years of the new reign. For some time Wade was a member of
parliament
 . He retired from public life in 1613, and died on the 21st of October 1623. Sir William was a shareholder in the Virginia company, and the Wades of Virginia claim descent from his father.
