Biography
Edward Arden, of Park Hall, Castle Bromwich, was Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1575 and was the son of William Arden (d. 1545) who in turn was a 2nd cousin of Mary Arden, mother of William Shakespeare. [1]
He married Mary Throckmorton (died 1603), the daughter of Sir Robert Throckmorton and his first wife, Muriel Berkeley, daughter of Thomas (1472–1533), 5th Baron Berkeley, by Eleanor Constable (c. 1485 – 1527), daughter of Sir Marmaduke Constable.
Arden was a well known Catholic martyr, who conspired to assasinate Queen Elizabeth I. He was arrested in London, incarcerated in the Tower on 7 Nov. After his conviction at trial, he was hanged, drawn, and quartered at Smithfield on 20 December 1583; his head was set on London Bridge and his remains were buried in Moorfields outside the City.
