His grandfather, Sir Arthur, a younger son, acquired Dartington Hall in 1559, and sat for the nearby borough of Totnes in the second Elizabethan Parliament. Sir Arthur was a staunch Protestant who helped to suppress the 1549 Prayer Book rising and participated in Wyatt’s rebellion. During the French wars of religion he espoused the Huguenot cause, and married his heir Gawen to the daughter of one of its leaders. This union proved stormy, however, nearly ending in divorce in 1582. Gawen continued his father’s struggle against international Catholicism, fighting alongside his father-in-law in France, and providing one of the ships that sailed against the Spanish Armada…' (History of Parliament Online).
