William Parr, Marquess of Northampton, Earl of Essex, 1st Baron Parr, 1st Baron Hart KG (14 August 1513 – 28 October 1571), was the only brother of Queen Catherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII. He was a "sincere, plain, direct man, not crafty nor involved", whose "delight was music and poetry and his exercise war" who co-authored[1] a treatise on hare coursing.[2] He was in favour with Henry VIII and his son Edward VI, under whom he was the leader of the Protestant party,[3] but having supported the desire of the latter to be succeeded by the Protestant Lady Jane Grey, was attainted by Edward's Catholic half-sister, Queen Mary I. He was restored by her Protestant half-sister, Queen Elizabeth I. He married thrice but died without issue.
