His See also:mother was See also:Elizabeth, daughter of Sir See also:Robert Throckrnorton, one of the well-known Catholic See also:family of Coughton, See also:Warwickshire
.
See also:Francis, who succeeded his See also:father in 1537, was too See also:young to have taken any See also:part in the opposition to the abolition of the Roman See also:jurisdiction and See also:dissolution of the monasteries; and he acquiesced in these See also:measures to the extent of taking the See also:oath of royal supremacy, serving as See also:sheriff of Berkshire and See also:Oxfordshire in 1546–1547, and accepting in 1545 a See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

grant of the See also:manor of Tilehurst, which had belonged to See also:Reading See also:Abbey
.
He was even knighted at the See also:coronation of See also:Edward VI. in See also:February 1547
.
But the progress of the See also:Reformation during that reign alienated him, and he attached his fortunes to the cause of the princess See also:Mary, whose service he entered before 1551
.
In See also:August of that See also:year he was sent to the See also:Tower for permitting See also:Mass to be celebrated in Mary's See also:household
.
He was released in the following See also:March, and permitted to resume his duties in Mary's service
.
But in February 1553 he was again summoned before the privy See also:council, and may have been in confinement at the crisis of See also:July; perhaps he was only released on Mary's See also:triumph, for his name does not appear among those who exerted themselves on her behalf before the See also:middle of August
.
He was then sworn a member of the privy council like many others who owed their promotion to their See also:loyalty rather than to their See also:political abilities
.
Their See also:numbers swelled the privy council and sadly impaired its efficiency; but Mary resisted the various attempts to get rid of them because she liked staunch See also:friends, and regarded them as a salutary check upon the abler but less scrupulous members who had served Edward VI. as well as herself
.
Englefield sat as M.P. for Berkshire in all Mary's parliaments except that of See also:April 1554, but received no higher political See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office than the lucrative mastership of the See also:court of wards
.
He was an ardent believer in persecution, was See also:present at See also:Hooper's trial, sought See also:Ascham's ruin, and naturally lost his office and his seat on the privy council at Elizabeth's See also:succession
.
He retired to the See also:continent before May 1559, and from that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time until his See also:death was an active participant in all schemes for the restoration of Roman Catholicism
.
At first his ideas took such comparatively mild forms as inducing the See also:pope to send a See also:legate to persuade Elizabeth to return to the See also:fold; but gradually they See also:grew more violent and treasonable, until Englefield became the See also:close confidant of See also:Cardinal See also:- ALLEN, BOG OF

Allen, See also:Parsons and the " jesuited " Catholics, who advocated forcible intervention by See also:Spain and the succession of the infanta; in 1585 Englefield thought that Mary's succession, peaceful or other, would not be satisfactory unless it were owing to See also:Spanish support and she were dependent on See also:- PHILIP

Englefield lived first at See also:Rome, then in the See also:Low Countries, and finally at See also:Valladolid
.
He was See also:blind for the last twenty years of his See also:life, and received a See also:pension of six See also:hundred crowns from Philip
.
He had been outlawed in 1564 and his estates sequestered, but they were not forfeited until 1585, when an See also:act of See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder was passed against Englefield
.
Even then some legal difficulties stood in the way of their See also:appropriation by the See also:crown, for Engle-See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

field, obviously with an See also:eye to this contingency, had conditionally settled them on his See also:nephew Francis
.
The See also:long arguments on the point are given in See also:Coke's Reports, and a further act was passed in 1592 confirming the See also:forfeiture to the crown
.
The nephew, however, eventually recovered some of the family estates, and was created a See also:baronet in 1612
.
His See also:uncle was alive in See also:September 1596, but apparently died at Valladolid about the end of that year
.
His See also:tomb there used to be shown to visitors as that of an eminent See also:man
