Sir John Arundell of Trerice (1495–1561), nicknamed "Tilbury Jack" (or Jack of Tilbury), was a commander of the English Royal Navy at the time of King Henry VIII and Edward VI and twice High Sheriff of Cornwall.
Origins
Sir John Arundell was the son of Sir John Arundell of Trerice (1470-12 Jul 1512) and Jane Grenville (1474-1551), daughter of Sir Thomas Grenville (died 1513) of Stowe, Cornwall.
Service to the King
Arundell served Henry VIII as an Esquire to the Body, and was knighted at the Battle of the Spurs in 1513. In 1523 he achieved notability by the capture of a notorious pirate. Under Edward VI he was Vice-Admiral of the West, and in 1542 and 1553 was High Sheriff of Cornwall at the time of the accession of Queen Mary.
Sir John died in 1561 and was buried at Stratton church.
Family
John Arundell first married Mary Beville of Gwarnacke, Cornwall in 1520. She died in 1526 and John married his second wife, Juliana Erisey, later in the same year.
His third son, John Arundell, of his second wife, also became High Sheriff of Cornwall. His grandson, also called Sir John Arundell and nicknamed "Jack-for-the-King", was a prominent leader of the Royalist cause in Cornwall during the English Civil War, and partly in recognition of this his great-grandson, Richard, was raised to the Peerage as Baron Arundell of Trerice in 1664.
